Students explore weight. In this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Second graders determine and compare weights and volumes of popped and unpopped corn to make predictions and solve problems. Students combine the data of each group into a graph. They construct questions, statements and story problems...

Students label objects in their classroom based on mass and volume using the metric system. They examine the relationship between the numerical value and the corresponding metric unit.

Students compare estimated lengths with actual lengths.

In this imperial units worksheet, students read the definitions to the following list of imperial units: mile, pint, gallon, foot, inch and pound.

Young scholars examine concept of time, and explore difference between analog and digital clocks; students make art project to represent time and create a time-story problem and solution.

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Using the scientific method, and bubble gum, learners conduct a motivating experiment. After conducting a series of tests involving bubble gum, they graph and analyze their results. This is the type of activity everyone loves.
