> > Students will practice converting a fraction into a decimal and a percent. > Students learn vocabulary, construction, and application associated with scatterplots. > Using the graphing calculator, students are engaged in creating shapes as they learn about transformations. > Students use pattern blocks to predict and then prove their ideas about adjacent, vertical, and complementary/supplementary angles. >
 * 1) [[file:angle sense 6th CAMT 2011.pdf]]A discovery based lesson where students learn to use a protractor.
 * 2) [[file:Sifting For Primes Lesson.pdf]]This lesson is a classic Sieve of Erastosthenes with the addition of color coding for multiples of smaller primes. The result is a resource that students can use for prime factorization, common factors and multiples, simplifying fractions, finding equivalent fractions, estimating for long division, etc.
 * 3) [[file:Sum of Angles Lesson.pdf]]Students will discover the sum of angles in any triangle is 180 degrees.
 * 4) [[file:Rectangular Array Factor Lesson.pdf]]This lesson is a discovery of factors through rectangular arrays. Students learn important properties of prime numbers, perfect square numbers, and composite numbers.
 * 5) [[file:Probability Games Lesson.pdf]]This fun activity reinforces the ideas of theoretical and experimental probability as well as sample spaces.
 * 6) [[file:Fraction Kit Lesson Plan.pdf]]Students create a manipulative while investigating prime factors. These kits can be used to compare and order fractions, create equivalent fractions, add and subtract fractions, convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers, create a fraction number line, etc.
 * 7) [[file:Area of Triangle Lesson.pdf]]Students create a visual model that demonstrates the formula for the area of any triangle.
 * 8) [[file:Box and Whiskers Lesson.pdf]]An hands-on lesson that teaches a somewhat confusing concept.
 * 1) [[file:sum of our intelligences.pdf]]The students will be able to explore addition of integers through seven learning stations based on the seven intelligences identified by Dr. Howard Gardener.
