ACC basketball: The students will use ACC basketball statistics to practice the process of converting fractions to decimals then to percents and will learn how to create and edit a spreadsheet. They will then use this spreadsheet to analyze their data. This unit is done during the basketball season.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Susan Dougherty.

Asian, African, or Australian Inventors & Inventions: The lesson integrates both Social Studies and Language Arts in a research and a creative writing component. The student will further understand inventors or inventions from Asia, Africa, and Australia, the focused continents in the 7th grade Social Studies curriculum, as well as have the opportunity to develop his/her writing, reading, and oral communication skills. The project also incorporates mathematics with an emphasis on percentages and graphing.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Information Skills, English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Mathematics); By Jeff Rachlin and Melissa Reid.

Post-EOG Activities: Student Products: In this project, students will become entrepenuers. They will have a business that makes items with 3-Dimensional shapes. They will receive various tasks that will require that they make decisions as any other business owner would have to do.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Geneva Williams.

See How They Run! The 100 Meter Dash: Middle level students will collect times as they run the 100 meter dash. These times will be depicted through various graphic representations (bar, circle, histogram). Times will be compared to current world records for the 100 meters. Students will decide which Math class ran fastest and support that choice in short essay form. They will also try to determine the faster gender based on the data collected.

This lesson plan is a unit filled with related lesson plans. One or two parts of this project could be completed as a stand-alone lesson, or the entire set of activities and extensions could be completed for an involved, integrated unit.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Holly Smith.

Spin, Toss, and Roll!: Students will use hands-on experiments to find the probability that certain events will occur.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Carol Baldwin.

Statistics Project: Students collect numeric and non-numeric data. They are then expected to use the data collected to construct different types of graphs as well as finding central tendencies.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5–8 Mathematics); By Audrea Saunders.
