Students explore magnification. In this scientific observation skills lesson, students observe sea life items and draw pictures of what they observe. Students predict which lens will have the strongest magnification when given three...

Students explore science. In this create science lesson, students come up with their own science experiment. They use their basic knowledge of hypothesis and procedure to come up with an experiment. This lesson includes background...

Explore the world of textured landscapes through the eyes of the famous artist, Grant Wood. Here is an elementary art lesson in which scholars learn about Grant Wood's life, view his work, draw their own textured landscape, and then...

Elementary schoolers investigate how to round numbers to the nearest tenth. In this number sense lesson, learners view a video clip on the Internet to practice rounding numbers. They use place value charts to help aid in the rounding...

Young scholars explore why denominators need to match before adding (or subtracting) a fraction. They use unmarked fraction circles and marked fraction bars, to discover a method to add fractions with unlike denominators using equivalent...

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...

Elementary schoolers generate and manipulate fractions. They review equivalent fractions and use an analog clock to create and add fractions. Pupils work in groups to complete two fraction worksheets.

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

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.

There's nothing better than using a cooking lesson to teach about fractions! In this clever lesson, young chefs must determine the proper amounts of ingredients while using a standard measuring cup. The recipe is embedded in the plan,...

Students will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the mode...

Fourth graders have a class discussion about fraction and negative numbers that were in the coordinates. They plot and read ordered numbered pairs. They transform ordered pairs and explore transformation of figures on a plane.

Students write letters to organizations, such as United States Geological Society, to find out more about rocks. Students write about a pretend time they found a magic pebble. Students calculate distances to travel to see various...

Using a varity of strategies, young mathematicians solve multistep word problems. They play a logic game as a whole group, and then work with a partner on a computer to complete a worksheet that requires a variety of problem solving...

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

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 explore the greenhouse effect. They set up a simplified model of the earth and the greenhouse effect. Students compare temperatures inside a jar to temperatures outside the jar. Pupils collect information and create a line...

Students explore characteristics of shapes by making and using tangram sets. They discover how the tangram pieces are related to one another, and determine how many different combinations of the triangles, squares, and parallelograms in...

Fourth graders explore dividing equally. They divide three-digit divisors by one and two digit divisors. Students work real life division problems. They examine possible solutions to each problem.

Students will develop an understanding design space. The arrangement of shapes is taught to create simple perspective. The differences in the size of shapes is shown in order to help learners see how they should be arranged in...

Young scholars use data to make a tally chart and a line plot. They find the maximum, minimum, range, median, and mode of the data. Following the video portion of the lesson, students will visit a Web site to test their data collection...

Teach numbers in word form with this activity. In this numbers and operations worksheet, learners solve 22 problems in which numbers are written in word form. Students solve the problems and write their responses in word form. Example:...

Explore the concept of multiplication by using arrays. Classmates use arrays to gain a better understanding of multiplication. They break arrays apart to model the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The relationship...

Pupils practice multiplying and dividing whole numbers by fractions. They study the multiplicative identity property that states that the product of any number and 1 is that number. They multiply whole numbers by fractions close to 1 and...
