TEKS Math Standard: 6.1.F

analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas

Letters With Symmetry

Let’s group letters by their symmetry, then create symmetrical words, and then symmetrical sentences!

Gr 3, 4, 5, 6, 8

Crossing Every Bridge Exactly Once (aka Eulerian Paths)

How can you cross each bridge in this city exactly once?

Gr 2-4

Polar Weather Report

The North Pole hits -40°. The South Pole hits -60°. Calculate the averages, graph the data, and deliver your polar weather report.

Gr 1, 2, 3, 6, 7

Geometry Image: Steigerwald

What odd and interesting shapes can your students find in this geometric image?

Gr 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7

Find The Pattern: Multiply Fractions

What if you set the stage for students to discover how to multiply fractions?

Gr 3, 4, 5, 7

Investigating Population Changes

How have the ages of three countries’ populations changed from 1950 to 2020? And what problems might that create?

Gr 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8

How Many Will There Be? Triangles Within Triangles

A triangle splits and splits and splits again. How many will there be in step 20?

Gr 1-4

Math Curiosity: Klauber’s Triangle

In 1932, a leading authority on rattlesnakes, Laurence Klauber, discovered a startling pattern within a triangle of primes.

Gr 1-5

Math Curiosity: A Pattern Packed Triangle

Pascal’s pattern-packed triangle is a potent puzzle for pupils to ponder.

Gr 3-5

Create Your Own Operation

The commutative and associative properties are a whole lot more interesting when you apply them to a mathematical operation that you created!

Gr 1-7

What’s In My Brain: Trapezoids or Not?

Which are trapezoids and which are not?

Gr 1-8

Intersecting Angles and Streets

There can never be just one angle.

Gr 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8

Exponents – How Low Can They Go?

Using exponent patterns, can students predict what the 0th power will be?

Gr 3, 4, 5, 6, 8

The Angles of a Triangle

Why tell a kid the rules of a triangle when they can discover them!?

Gr 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8

Grouping Quadrilaterals In A Hierarchy

Can we classify quadrilaterals like we classify living things?

Gr 1-5

Lines, Line Segments, Rays, and Infinity!

A lesson about lines, line segments, and rays that avoids dull memorization. Instead, we ponder this delightful question: Which is longer, a ray or a line? Then, kids consider what these different geometric concepts would think about each other.

Gr 1, 4

Math Curiosity: Odds & Squares

Why does the sum of the first 5 odds also equal 5 squared?

Gr 1, 2, 3, 4, 6

A Donut Investigation

In this cross-curricular investigation, students will look into an intriguing question: do donuts or salads have more sugar? They’ll grapple with misleading information, bias, and use their math skills to create a visual representation of sugar in popular foods.

Gr 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7

A Caffeine Investigation – Part 3

Caffeine is everywhere. But what are the ads really saying? Analyze the claims, then create your own public service announcement.

Gr 2-8

A Caffeine Investigation – Part 2

What do people know about the amount of caffeine in common beverages?

Gr 1, 2, 3, 6, 7

Math Curiosity: Primes and Squares

Can any perfect square be written as the sum of two primes?

Gr 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8

Math Curiosity: Legendre’s Conjecture

It seems like there’s always a prime number between two perfect squares… but is this always the case!?

Gr 3, 4, 5, 6, 8

Math Curiosity: Twin Primes

What do you call two prime numbers who are very close together?

Gr 3-4

Exploring Circumference With Famous Circles
