Young scholars examine mathematicians' notion of fairness in games of chance. They work in pairs to perform three different experiments using macaroni and paper bags. They record their results on charts and compare their data.

Pupils play a dice game to complete probability exercises. In this probability lesson, students collect data using a dice game and organize it into a spreadsheet format. Pupils also write a lab report for an experiment on probability.

In this probability worksheet, students solve complementary probability word problems with 4 problems in them. Students complete 2 problems.

Young scholars participate in a variety of activities in order to understand the concept of probability. The students are engaged because of the application of The Multiple Intelligences Theory.

Students use an abacus as well as a calculator for calculations to bring multicultural awareness and appreciation to this lesson plan. They discuss the history of the abacus. Students compare/contrast the abacus to the computer.

Young scholars explore the greenhouse effect.  In this environment activity, students describe how "ice out" affects animals and plants who live in a Maine lake.  Young scholars graph "ice out" data and make predictions about...

Fifth graders are introduced to the concept of probability. Using dice, they identify which rolls have the greatest chance of occuring after completing an experiement in which they roll the dice and graph the results. They explain...

Young scholars collect and analyze data, then draw conclusions from the data and apply basic concepts of probability.

Students perform an experiment. In this combinations lesson, students complete an experiment where they find out how many ice cream cone combinations they can make with 5 different flavors of ice cream and 4 types of cones. They design a...

Fifth graders identify a set of data from a real world problem. In this statistics lesson, 5th graders identify the range, mode, median and mean using some manipulatives. They write words randomizing the letters.

Students build and program a car to drive a specific challenge distance.They must at the end of the lesson, have the car that stops the closest to a challenge distance.

Geometers learn how to measure the area in square units. They use the floor in the classroom as a visual to measure a square foot area. They use classmates to fill the space and expand the measured area square foot by square foot until...

An engaging lesson which has elementary learners measure weight to the nearest pound and construct and interpret a bar graph! They measure length using non-standard units and determine area using square tiles. Pupils round their birth...

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Upper grade and middle schoolers collect data, analyze and interpret the data. This three-part lesson should provide learners with a firm understanding about the differences between mean, median, and mode and how to perform the...

Learners apply math skills to determining how much corn seed to plant in 100 acres. They compute the amount of weed killer needed and after totaling how many bushels per acre they harvest, they calculate their profits.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Students use the disciplines of math and science to examine ecosystems. In groups, they calculate the amount of supplies they would need to live in the classroom for one day, a week and a year. Using this information, they apply it to...

Students explore the math concept of percents. In this percents lesson, students examine visual examples of the relationships among fractions, decimals, and percents. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students use baseball cards to add up batting average and reinforce math skills. In this batting averages lesson plan, students use old baseball cards to practice different math skills and look at other baseball statistics.

Sixth graders explore rates as a specific type of ratio, using visual examples of unit rates and unit prices to increase comprehension. They also practice solving problems that are modeled by the instructor. The well-scripted lesson is...

The ways that animals adapt to their environments is quite remarkable. In this life science activity, fifth graders take a look at some of the ways that aquatic animals that live in Arctic or Antarctic waters survive. They perform an...

Pupils use scientific tools. In this Applied Science lesson, students investigate the use of scientific tools to enhance observation and discovery. Pupils indicate how each tool assists scientific work.

Students are introduced to the idea of probability by discussing the likelihood of events occurring. Pupils describe events that are certain, impossible, likely, and unlikely to occur. They determine the likelihood of an event occurring...
