Young scholars establish a strategy for adding simple fractions. They convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and interpret drawings and storyboards.

Young scholars identify latitude, longitude, prime meridian, international date line, and equator. They compute the latitude and longitude of different objects.

Learners practice graphing quadratic equations to find the vertex of quadratic functions. They determine if the graph opens upward or downward as well as convert quadratic equations to vertex form from polynomial form. A lab version is...

Students do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.

Pupils used collected data to distinguish what pets they have or would like to have. They correlate findings with appropriate technology--Excel. At the end of the lesson they tabulate a bar chart and present their findings to the class.

Never again will you need to worry about coming up with a writing prompt! This packet contains, as it says, 501 prompts that are suitable for fourth graders on up. The prompts are paired into four categories (persuasive, expository,...

Fifth graders study dehydration and dehydration of foods. They measure the amount of water lost from fruits as they are dehydrated. They use desktop publishing software to design an advertisement for dehydrated fruit after researching...

Students define and examine the connections between sound and music and how engineers design instruments. They listen to examples of musical instruments, view a demonstration of a tuning fork and bottles filled with varying amounts of...

Students are shown the very basics of navigation. The concepts of relative and absolute location, latitude, longitude and cardinal directions are discussed, as well as the use and principles of a map and compass.

Young scholars recognize the range and variety of severe weather. They plan for severe weather conditions that they may experience on an immediate and long-term scale and use climate information to make personal choices about where to...

Students examine cougar behavior, habitat, social organization, efforts to support their survival and the threats to it. They create posters to present information about cougars.

Pupils explore the concept of poetry through movement and song. They watch Lucille Clifton read her poem, and write their own poem.

Students will participate in several activities that will build their knowledge of coordinates graphing. Students will use ordered pairs to locate points on a grid. Students will also relate coordinate graphing to the real world through...

Help Jamal read maps, describe directions, and identify coordinates in this series of interactive exercises.

In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad must locate each other using a map's grid to construct a coordinate system using letters and numbers.

Identify coordinates of points in the first quadrant. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Challenge problems involving the coordinates of the vertices of the quadrilaterals Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Find the distance between points, graph points, and interpret data on coordinate planes to solve word problems. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

A guide to support parents as they work with their students in problem solving with the coordinate plane.

In this interactive, students use logic and mathematical skill to place aquatic animals at locations on a Cartesian graph with cardinal directions. Then, they determine both the vertical and horizontal distances between points. The...

In this exercise, students practice coordinate plane problems in all four quadrants. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Try some coordinate plane word problems focusing on quadrant 1. Miss the problem, and Kahn offers some tutorials for help.
