After listening to a story about the water cycle, learners create their own versions of this tale. This is a great way to have your class review the concepts of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

Teach your class how to apply their knowledge of geometry as they explore the unknown. In order to find an unknown angle, students must understand that rectangles have four interior right angles, that right angles have 90 degrees, and...

A thorough lesson plan template allows teachers to design balanced and standards-based lessons for any grade. The template includes spaces for unit vocabulary and concepts, objectives, and additional resources.

Engage young mathematicians in applying their knowledge of area and perimeter with a fun geometry lesson. Through a series of problem solving exercises, children use their math knowledge to design different-sized garden...

Join the tree house detectives in learning about the processes of the water cycle, water conservation, water treatment, and water as a limited resource.

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Help your young mathematicians master three-digit place value with a hands-on activity that builds on their social orientation. They create a place value house from construction paper and sort "number friends" according to which house...

Young mathematicians build an understanding of area and perimeter with their own two hands in a series of interactive geometry lessons. Through the use of different math manipulatives, children investigate the properties of...

How does electricity work? Budding scientists explore the concepts of electrical currents and open and closed circuits with class discussion and a hands-on activity using a battery to turn on a light bulb. Learners also make predictions...

Students convert basic measurement in English and Metric Units.

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Find here three printable math skills practice pages. The first simply asks learners to fill in the inequality signs for the comparison of two decimals. No number exceeds the hundreds place. Worksheet two compares fractions in tenths or...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks and fraction identification cards to create and identify fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, 4th graders identify fractions in a pizza, and make fractions with markers.

Students study the different types of lines and create a drawing demonstrating what they learned.

Students describe geographical places through art, music, writing, and math. They compile information in booklets which may be published.

Bring three-dimensional shapes to life in your classroom. First introduce the vocabulary of three-dimensional shapes, such as sphere, cube, and pyramid. Then, show your kids examples of how to use two-dimensional objects draw...

Fourth graders examine the purpose of variables and identify the missing variable in open sentences. They observe the teacher solve a variety of problems, complete a worksheet as a class, and independently complete another worksheet. ...

Students are introduced to the importance of using place value in number systems. They view a video, play games, explore websites and research the pay scale of three jobs that interest them.

Students use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.

Students develop a list of possible outcomes as a method of finding probability related to a pizza statistics problems. They read the problems together as a class, brainstorm ways to solve the problem, and in partners solve the pizza...

Students assess informal methods to solve real-world problems that utilize simple equations that involve one variable. They incorporate concrete objects to assist them in the solving of a variety of equations. The students are actively...

Young scholars investigate how friction affects the movement of a block across surface areas. They test five different kinds of surfaces—smooth surface, wax paper, a paper towel, course, and fine sandpaper. They predict and record the...
