Young learners create and implement a school-wide survey about student body favorites! Learners record and analyze the data on a bar graph, picture graph, and line graph, and then display the data. Then, wrap it all up with a celebration...

Students define length and area. They identify materials that can be measured with a rule and yardstick. They measure length and area when given an object.

It's time to go back over all that your class has learned about decimals, fractions, and percentages! To do so, individuals solve story problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimals, explain how...

Students walk around the neighborhood and identify various polygons and lines in buildings, nature and other objects. They design a building using various geometric patterns, shapes and lines. Students complete a descriptive writing of...

Learn how to summarize by identifying main ideas and supporting details. Readers cross out unimportant information as they read through a text. Is it a random detail? Cross it out! They then draw a concept map, placing the main idea in...

The hour is nigh for your class to practice equivalency problems in the form of time-zone conversions. They write equations to describe elapsed time and apply problem solving strategies, including writing a plan, to solve the problems.

Students investigate ways to enhance an object's flying ability.  In this model construction lesson, students construct two paper airplanes, one of which is twice as big as the first.  Students compare and contrast the two...

Students use computer applets to demonstrate three dimensional coordinate planes. In this coordinate planes lesson plan, students play a coordinate game and a maze game.

Children use the length, width, and height of an object to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism. They observe how to multiply three numbers at a time, and define volume. Pupils observe as the teacher demonstrates how to determine...

Students investigate fractions while adding and subtracting mixed numbers. They discuss how to add and subtract mixed numbers and they practice working with mixed numbers. They complete a worksheet while working with mixed numbers.

Fourth graders graph cars according to their colors. They complete the graph including a title, scale, x-axis, and y-axis. Students collect the data and choose the type of graph to be made.

Students identify and categorize different polygons. For this polygons lesson plan, students research and identify properties of polygons,  identify different polygon shapes, and categorize different triangles and quadrilaterals.

Students explore the characteristics of geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students use tiles to draw pentominoes. Students participate in various learning center activities focused on configuring pentominoes.

Students examine the fats found in foods. In this nutrition lesson, students identify the types and amounts of fats found in foods as they research food labels and the Internet. Students classify the fats and record their data.

Students make three dimensional shapes with nets. In this nets instructional activity, students receive nets which they fold to make a three dimensional object. They predict what shape each net will make and verify it after making the...

Young measurers identify gallons, quarts, pints, and cups, then determine equivalent measurements for capacity using customary measuring tools.

Pupils fold paper to form a house, then use three numbers to make fact families for their houses. They write a family of multiplication and division facts on a piece of paper cut in the shape of a house.

Upper graders use the properties of right angle trignonmetry to measure objects such as the school flagpole. They solve real world problems using these properties.

Students use fractions and words to find a coded message and the first student to solve the message wins a candy bar.

Students study about perimeter and the units used to measure perimeter using a variety of materials including their hands, feet, rulers, and computer applets. They understand such attributes as length, area, weight, volume, and size of...

Students measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

Students identify classes in their schedules and associate the class with the time of day it is held. They then name classes in sequential order according to the period during which it occurs.

Students will investigate the concept of transformations using virtual manipulatives that are available on the internet. The core of the lesson is technology based. The learners will also perform the skills with the production of written...

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...
