Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...

Math vocabulary has never been easier to understand! Use vocabulary cards to bring word walls to your classroom, helping kids make the connection between important math terms and easy-to-understand illustrations.

n this geometric lesson, learners define and identify two dimensional shapes based on their attributes. They complete worksheets based on the geometric concepts.

An efficient and straightforward decimals learning exercise! Young learners round amounts of money and measurements to the nearest dollar or meter. Each section contains 20 problems, making it easy to divide up this asignment into...

Here is a very interesting way of studying triangles and polygons. Pupils work together and use pieces of string to create a variety of shapes. Depending on how many kids are manipulating the string at any one time, the number of...

Paste this resource into your lesson plans like you'd paste a tile onto a mural. Given a diagram of a tile mural with rectilinear figures, future artists determine the perimeters and areas of the figures. They must then develop their own...

A comprehensive resource gets fourth grade physical scientists making observations about the period of a pendulum and then applying knowledge to a playground swing. Through seven different stations, they will record observations and...

Young scientists transform themselves into rivers, oceans, clouds, and drops of water in order to explore the water cycle. After assigning and explaining to learners their different roles in the activity, the teacher reads aloud a...

With a partner, youngsters measure their pulse and breathing rates, both at rest and after running in place for a minute. While this activity is not novel, the lesson plan includes a large-scale classroom graphing activity and other...

Students participate in a variety of Olympic themed activities in order to measure their results. In this measurement lesson, students participate in cotton ball shot put, paper plate discuss throw, and other events to have fun while...

Third graders measure time and length. Through the use of video and technology, they explore key elements of measurement, such as units and conversion between units. They explore alternate units of measurement and apply measurement to...

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...

Students participate in a lesson that has the intention of working on estimation skills. They use pumpkins to estimate the number of seeds are inside. They collect data for each pumpkin and compare it to the estimation. Students question...

Learners practice estimating by handling items in groups of ten. They visualize how much space 100 items, such as pennies, peas, or beans, will take up after holding 10 of them. Students measure the difference in volume between 10...

Students predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Students measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Students explore quilting. For this math patterns lesson, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.

Students develop number sense up to a million.  In this developing number sense up to a million lesson, students count their breaths in given time span.  Students use blocks representing 10's and 100's to create a...

Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

Students assembly tops and name them 1 - 12 so that they can compare their results. They guess which top they think will spin the best and then record data on "Toothpick Top" table. Using a stopwatch or clock to measure and record the...

Students discover time keeping by reading clocks.  In this time-telling instructional activity, students read the story Hickory Dickory Dock, and discuss the measurements of time we use.  Students complete worksheets in which...

Using food as a manipulative is one of the best ways to incorporate hands-on learning in the classroom. This hands-on approach allows young mathematicians to compare, order, and identify fractions with the use of Twizzlers® and...

Students explore Earth science by conducting an energy experiment in class. In this windmill activity, students identify how wind has been used to pump water throughout history and the latest developments wind energy has produced....

Does it? Kids find the perimeter and area of different shapes to assess whether their rectangle has guts. In addition to finding the area of a rectangle, learners work to find the area of a trapezoid. All worksheets are included. 

What is the area? Because there is only one problem here (and it is followed by a detailed explanation) use this as an all-class warm up. Cover up the bottom half until scholars have shared their own answers. They examine a rectangle...
