Students create number sentences by rolling two dice. Each student rolls the dice and writes down the numbers in number sentence format. Then they add the problem by using the strategies of counting on and doubles.

Second graders use tree diagrams to predict the possible outcomes of coin tosses. The data they collect and graph also help them predict the likelihood of getting heads or tails when tossing coins the next time.

Students discuss the subject of coins and heads and tails. They work in groups to solve Fran's problem concentrating on the fact that the coins are in a row. Any group that finishes early can try the Extension problem.

Students explore counting, sorting, and graphing skills. In this data analysis lesson, students sort jelly beans by color, count the jelly beans, and create a bar graph of the jelly beans according to color.

Students compare estimated lengths with actual lengths.

Students create a graph of tulip growth. In this data analysis lesson, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.

Second graders discover what magnets can do. In this magnet lesson students make predictions about magnets. They experiment with the magnets and record their data on a chart.

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Reading, a math game, and a simulation activity provide the engagement on a lesson about seeds and crops. Learners in grades two through four read an informational passage about crops, seeds, and farming. They highlight important...

Young scholars practice measurement and geography in this lesson. They build a Lego vehicle using an RCX. They predict how many seconds it will take their vehicle to reach a specific state on the United States of America map that each...

Learners improve their identifying, sorting, and classifying skills. In this categorizing lesson, students use cubes to practice their sorting, classifying, and identification skills.

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Students identify and demonstrate a positive learning attitude and use basic concepts and skills. Learners also communicate clearly in oral, artistic, written, and nonverbal form. Finally, students participate in the daily data...
