Students investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.

Learners construct two bell curves using two different yet related objects. For example, two kinds of Hershey's Kisses (plain and almond) or two kinds of dried beans (kidney and lima).

Pupils take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Learners examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Learners develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Students estimate and compare temperature using degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, and create mini temperature posters and answer questions about temperature.

Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

Students complete a variety of activities using pumpkins. They visit various stations with various pumpkin activities.

Students estimate quantity, length, and area. Students practice making comparison estimations of different items and estimate whether or not the amount is greater or less than a certain amount. Students practice making estimations.

Students estimate, calculate, and count back the amount of change needed from purchases made during small group activities.

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

In this ordering fractions and decimals practice instructional activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Third graders make models of fractions and mixed numbers. Using fraction strips and drawing pictures, 3rd graders develop conceptual understanding of the equivalent forms. Students use the number line to represent and compare...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Students study the fractional values of Cuisenaire rods while working with favorite family recipes.

Students discover three lettered postulates that prove triangles congruent.

Third graders produce a schedule to provide to the birthday party guests The party must last 5 hours and fifteen minutes.

Third graders listen as the teacher reads a book about quilts, before they discuss the craftsmanship used in making quilts. They study the regions and symbols associated with their state. They make a quilt square using one of the facts...

In this comparing weight word problem instructional activity, students use logical reasoning to determine which objects are heavier or heaviest. Students solve six problems.

In this pie chart worksheet, students transpose musical genre data to the charts and then answer questions about the results.

Students study temperatures. For this science lesson, students convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius and from Celsius into Fahrenheit understanding the relationship between the two measurements.

Young scholars describe the differences between an estimate and a guess. They create reasonable estimates based on comparison and activities. Students explain how estimation is helpful in showing the relative size on a scale. They...

Learners conduct an experiment to study friction. They complete a KWL chart on friction and conduct an activity about the amount of friction on a moving object. To conclude, pupils create a table or graph of the data collected and they...

Students examine the terms "feet" and "inches" and discover converting feet to inches, and inches to feet. They then work on the worksheet and solve the problems independently.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...
