Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math lesson. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed for this lesson...

Collect and graph data using Microsoft Excel with your math class. They will make predictions about the number of each colored candy in a bag of M&M's, then sort, classify, count, and record the actual data before using Excel to...

Which card will you draw next? This template has learners cut along the dotted lines to create "Probability Cards." The cards include 2 triangles, 4 squares, and 6 circles. Students determine the different probabilities of drawing each...

Create three dimensional objects in an applied science activity. The goal is for your class to recognize, compare, and model shapes. Using cookie cutters and clay or play dough, they create models for three-dimensional shapes.

You class will read Cucumber Soup by Vickie Leigh Krudwig as an anticipatory set for this lesson on ratios. They make models of the insects in the story and then use them as a source of data for this ratio and proportion lesson. This...

The hunt is on! Young mathematicians follow clues and complete a series of ten math puzzles as they try to crack Dr. Integer's code and find the location of his hidden treasure.

Combine your lessons on Venn diagrams, probability, and multiples with several activities. After picking seven cubes, learners note the number of cubes that are blue and mark them in a Venn diagram. The next assignments prompt them...

Students explore probability. In this probability instructional activity, students look at videos and websites where they discover probability facts that can be used in situations. They determine the probability of different events. 

Students do an experiment with probability. For this probability lesson, they listen to part of the book G is for Googol: A Math Alphabet Book by David M. Schwartz. They complete 3 probability experiments and check to see how close...

Learners examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. In this geometry and probability instructional activity, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of...

Students practice calculating probability, see how geometry can help solve probability problems and explore platonic solids.

In this probability learning exercise, students solve 6 word problems where they determine the probability of certain outcomes that occur when spinning different spinners, rolling dice, choosing events and hitting targets.

Name that shape! Your math class identifies cubes and other three-dimensional products. They practice calculating the volume of cubes and identify cubes around them in the classroom. Worksheets and directions are provided.

With so many combinations, this colorful video allows your learners to mathematically figure out how many options they have when purchasing t-shirts. One instructional activity teaches how to find out the combinations, and the second...

Young mathematicians use their geometry skills to save the Land of Venn in an engaging math game. A fun way to reinforce children's understanding of basic geometric figures and shapes.

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

Students explore possible outcomes. In this math lesson, students list the possible pizza combinations they could offer on the menu of their new pizza shop. Students

Students discover how to use the probability of winning to determine if a game is fair or not.  In this probability lesson, students watch a video and analyze the probability of winning and losing different versions of the game...

Students explore probability by using games based on probable outcomes of events. They name all of the possible outcomes of an event and express the likelihood of such an event occurring.

With so many toppings to chose from, make the ice cream truck combinations a fun math problem that teaches your learners about outcomes. The video introduces a tree diagram that allows your mathematicians to see how to create...

Animal reproduction in sheep and cattle is explored with the help of Punnet squares. Scholars employ tools using probability to conclude the color of wool a sheep's offspring will have. Acting as animal geneticists, pupils then take...

A hands-on simulation perfect for an economics lesson, young learners investigate the availability of different sources of natural energy (coal, natural gas, oil, solar, and nuclear) and how this availability affects their cost....

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...
