Upper elementary and middle school scholars study the economic factors that caused so many Arkansans to migrate to different parts of the country looking for work. Use this history lesson plan to help your charges gain a better...

Young geometers investigate and apply properties of quadrilaterals.  After a review and discussion of key terms, learners use a computer applet to explore four-sided figures and classify them according to their attributes. The...

Young mathematicians dive into the number line to discover decimals and how the numbers infinitely get smaller in between. They click the zoom button a few times and learn that the number line doesn't just stop at integers. Includes...

Use texts and dances to teach inequalities and equations. A sixth-grade unit covers using variables in equations and inequalities to solve problems. Learners show what they know at the end of the unit using two performance tasks, one...

Using a worksheet that's embedded in the plan, elementary schoolers must come up with the most possible combinations of food they can order from the menu on the worksheet. The lesson plan is meant to be done independently by everyone,...

Young mathematicians review what they have previously learned about coordinates and straight line graphs. Then, they access an interactive component within the lesson to gain more practice with this skill. Additionally, there are two...

An easy and fun way to look at data is with a pictograph. A lesson plan friendly enough for multiple grade levels shows how to set up this graph with a corresponding key. The steps review the importance of choosing an appropriate...

With so many types of graphs, don't let your learners get stuck figuring out which one to use. To track how Zoe spent her allowance, use this interactive lesson to review all the types of graphs and pick the best one to display the data....

Students explore how the angle and distance of an object can change it's temperature. After reviewing how the position of the Earth affects the temperature of the planet, student groups design and perform an experiment to test how...

Six word problems provide practice for young geometers to review angles, the angle a of straight line, circles, right angles, and others. I like the approach of these questions; they require thinking and explaining, not just computation.

Young scholars convert decimals and fractions to percents. In this introductory percents lesson, learners work with equivalent fractions and learn to draw ratios. They recognize how to change a fraction to a percent.

Kids work to recognize and extend number sequences. They determine the rule in order to find the missing number in each sequence given. They review the concept, practice finishing sequences with a calculator, and explain each rule. 

Students compete in an imaginary game show, using an imaginary calculator that only has a few select keys: 2, 6, and the addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication keys. Using only these keys, students are prompted to come up...

A mountain of grass becomes a mountain of cash in the case of a young entrepreneur in the novel Lawn Boy. Arnold, a main character, begins a lawn mowing business and meets a stockbroker client that helps me manage his money....

Come take a ride on the space bus! Scholars go on an imaginary trip to pick up their peers from the inner and outer planets while reinforcing math skills. First, learners round decimals to identify each planets' distance from Earth....

Did you know a mathematician's favorite dessert is a fruit "pi"? By participating in a fruit cutting activity, young mathematicians realize one constant—the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is always pi. It is a perfect...

Have you ever wanted to travel the world? Take a virtual trip with a geography lesson plan that uses longitude and latitude, the position of the sun, an astronomy app, and a classroom globe.

Pre-algebra—all wrapped up in one place. The eBook contains everything needed to teach a typical Pre-Algebra course. Concepts in the course build upon previously learned concepts, allowing mathematicians to see the connections between...

Fifth graders practice solving word problems using highlighted strategies. In this word problem lesson, 5th graders brainstorm and  use words as clues that indicate the math operations that will be used to solve problems. They use...

Students review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Students create podcasts of student-created review questions using iPod, iTalk, iTunes, GarageBand, and Keynote. This lesson is intended for as a mathematics review but could be adapted to fit any subject across many different levels.

Students create podcasts of information for reviewing fractions and decimals in this math-based creative project. The lesson uses GarageBand, iTunes, iTalk, and Keynote to accomplish tasks.

Students examine the concept of fractions. For this fractions king lesson, students review math vocabulary and discover the equivalent forms of fractions as decimals and percents.
