Students strengthen skills in mathematics, problem solving, and communication skills by working together in groups using "Hot Dog Stand: The Works" educational software.

Students use the Internet to read about an explorer's survival in the Antarctic. They try to find a better route for him to have taken.

Fourth graders create wish lists from catalogues and sales ads based on a given budget. They add, subtract, estimate, and budget their given amount of money so they don't go over budget.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Students recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.

Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Students explore expanded, standard, and written forms of numbers. In this number sense lesson, students examine the various ways of writing numbers as they complete a Venn diagram activity.

Learners study the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students define probability and visit an interactive spinner website to learn about theoretical and experimental probability. Learners use pennies and work in pairs...

Fourth graders use place value structure to construct and compare numbers that are up to the ten thousands. For this place value lesson plan, 4th graders explain and discuss numbers that are greatest in size according to the place of the...

Young scholars look at data in graphs with missing labels and use what they know about graphs to label the topics, titles, and axes of the graph. In this graph lesson plan, students pretend they are news reporters and have to fix their...

Student study addition properties. In this addition properties instructional activity, young scholars use multiple methods to solve various types of problems. Students illustrate and describe in various ways the Commutative Property...

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

Students investigate the results of different propulsion methods. In this propulsion lesson, students measure the distance a test toy car goes using different types of propulsion. They record the distances in data tables before...

Young scholars investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

In this fraction worksheet, students first read fractions in both numerals and words, then fill in the words to describe given fractions and write the numerical fractions for given word phrases.

Fourth graders explore number values by utilizing a candy bar in class. In this fraction lesson, 4th graders divide pizza and candy amongst each other in order to identify parts of a whole and fractions. Students answer several fraction...

Students examine the attribute of equilateral triangles. For this equilateral triangle lesson, students examine a number of paper triangles to determine how they are classified. They determine how triangles are depicted in Navajo rugs.

Learners explore the extreme between the distance to the moon in comparison to the size of a particle of moon dust and solve problems related to the Apollo space missions.

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

Students learn about artist Larry Schulte and view examples of his work. They create addition sentence for the first seven numbers of the fibonacci sequence and use unifix cubes to build that sentences. Students color and create three...

Fourth graders combine geometry and language arts skills while examining quilt-making. After identifying the geometric shapes contained in quilts, they write stories to encompass the quilt border. Students conclude by creating and...

Students follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...

Students use coordinate graphs in order to identify objects and their locations. They are shown how to plot the x and y coordinates and then are given values to be plotted during guided and independent practice. Students are assessed on...
