Obviously, four is the perfect number when you're playing Four Square. Scholars first use multiplication and division to solve a set of problems on the number of balls needed, the number of games, and the number of players required for a...

Here's an assessment task that's better than watching a show. Young mathematicians solve word problems involving multiplication and division with equal groups. They must find the total number of attendees on a trip to a theater based on...

Aim high with a task on window washers. An assessment task challenges learners to determine the number of windows two people wash. They do this using a given number of window rows on each side of a building. In addition, they find the...

How do dams support bodies of water? Scholars engage in a hands-on STEM activity where they design, build, and test dams to learn about bodies of water and how humans use natural resources. They learn how criteria and constraints affect...

Students investigate the characteristics of a community. They investigate the characteristics of the Omaha community through internet research and discussion. Students create books about their community.

Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Students use graphs to calibrate an RCX car. They must then program the car to traverse a maze using their calibrations

Third graders study partial-products algorithms. In this math lesson, 3rd graders use an algorithm to find the product of factors. Students discuss the relationships between multiplication and division.

Students create a line graph on the life expectancy for males and females in Canada. For this math and health lesson plan, students review table and graph terminology, create line graphs, and analyze the differences in life expectancy...

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 explore the concept of estimating and organizing a group of objects into an array to count the exact number of items. They create their own arrays and practice elements of estimation.

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.

Students explore the aspects of a frog's anatomy that allow it to be such a good jumper and jump and record the length of each jump to determine which style of jumping allows them to jump the farthest.

Students investigate Mexican holiday celebrations and compare them to American Christmas holidays. They conduct a Mexican Christmas Scavenger Hunt. The lesson uses a streaming video in order to engage students in the main objectives.

In this time conversion worksheet, students convert times from twelve hour format to twenty-four hour format in 29 problems. They write the equivalent time on the blank next to the original time.

For this telling time practice worksheet, students examine 15 clocks and then record the times shown using 24-hour times. An example is included.

Students create a pizza recipe based on the recipe used in The Little Red Hen (Makes a Pizza) by Philemon Sturges. In this early childhood lesson plan, students read The Little Red Hen (Makes a Pizza) and identify the ingredients needed...

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.

Students review Mexico's location and language and learn to pronouns 10 new Spanish food words. Students listen as the book, Corn is Maize is read, touching and passing around an ear of Indian corn. Students discuss the contribution of...

Students study water conservation. For this water conservation lesson, students participate in a water conservation experiment. Students discover how to conserve water while washing their hands.

Third graders review and expand their discussion of job training and education resources. They work in small groups to find information about the types of training people need to do specific jobs and use data from interviews carried out...

Rivers aren't just a place for animals to live, they also provide industrial transportation. The class will examine the Hudson River on a map, discuss all the commercial vessels that use the River to transport materials, then complete a...
