Interior design: Designing my dream room: Students will study interior design as a profession. They will integrate their study with math, writing, vocational education, and computer skills by designing their own dream bedroom.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, Computer Technology Skills, and Mathematics); By Paula Hightower.

Translations, Reflections, Rotations: This lesson will allow students to explore translations, reflections, and rotations using a resource of Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. Permission has been granted for the use of the materials as part of the workshop Interactivate Your Math Students. Students explore the world of translations, reflections, and rotations in the Cartesian coordinate system by transforming squares, triangles and parallelograms. Parameters: Shape, x or y translation, x or y reflection, angle of rotation. (Italics are a direct quote from Shodor.org.); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Deborah Bourne.

Blue squares and beyond: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students manipulate two rectangles to create examples of similarity and to study the effects on area ratios.

Exploring histograms: In this lesson, from Illuminations, students create their own sets of data using an interactive data analysis tool. They then examine how various statistical functions such as mean, median, and standard deviation depend on the choice of data.
