Tried and true math lessons in integers, data compression, building symmetric solids, making anastrolabe, and many others. Topics range from basic addition to algebra terminology. Don't miss the Math Journey, where students can travel around the world as they practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and rounding at four levels. Susan Boone has developed several lessons that incorporate math and the Internet. In Indy 500 students use the Internet to determine the mean and median speed for the Indianapolis 500.
Students calculate the length of each lap and a car's rate per lap.
The Math Forum has gathered interesting lessons that can be implemented in a math class such as The Abacus. Another interesting lesson is the Rollercoaster lesson. Students research rollercoasters and calculate average speeds and accelerations or rollercoaster rides. Students are confronted with issues regarding the velocity, speed, acceleration, and inertia of moving objects. The Bon Voyage activity involves traveling to a foreign country and using the currency exchange rates to convert U.S money.
