Savor the rainbow: Use skittles to help the students practice the concepts of sorting data, recording data, writing the data collected in fraction form (part/whole), changing the fractions into decimals and percents, and taking the data collected and making a spreadsheet, bar graph, and circle graph of the data.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Beverly Revis.

Mathematical translations: This lesson develops knowledge of algebraic expressions and their verbal equivalents. Students will establish a foundation for future Algebra I tasks by identifying mathematical symbols and expressions through group work and individual tasks. This lesson contains modifications for the novice high English Language Learner (ELL).; Format: lesson plan (grade 7–12 English Language Development and Mathematics); By Seth Beale and Wendy Sumner.

Linear equations: In CareerStart lessons: Grade seven, page 2.2; In this lesson for grade seven, students calculate monthly bills for cell phone plans using linear equations.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Peggy Dickey and Barbara Turner.Adapted by Sharon Abell.

Wrapping it up: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students finalize their work collecting data, identifying patterns, and making predictions about the game of Paper Pool. They then write a report that summarizes all of their findings. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Taking its toll: In this Illuminations lesson, students compare the price of a toll to the distance traveled. Students investigate data numerically and graphically to determine the per-mile charge, and they predict the cost if a new tollbooth were added along the route.

Supreme Court handshake: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students explore the handshake problem, a classic problem in mathematics that asks, “How many handshakes occur when n people shake hands with each other?” (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Patterns and functions: In this lesson, students investigate properties of perimeter, area, and volume related to various geometric two- and three-dimensional shapes. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Line 'em up: In this Illuminations lesson, students learn to plot a point (given its coordinates) and to state the coordinates of a given point using a graphing program for a Texas Instruments graphing calculator.

Barbie bungee: In this Illuminations lesson, students model a bungee jump using a Barbie doll and rubber bands. The distance to which the doll will fall is directly proportional to the number of rubber bands, so this context is used to examine linear functions.
