Students add and subtract integers.  In this integer activity, students use models to demonstrte the addition and subtraction of integers.  They describe zero pairs and write steps to add and subtract integers. 

Four modules are a part of this stellar lesson plan. Space scientists view the electromagnetic spectrum, they generate waves on a computer screen in order to measure frequency and wavelength, discover how light is related to temperature,...

Bloom's Taxonomy is a great way to address the many levels of comprehension. With explanations and examples of each level, you can create questions that focus on knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

Warm up to the idea of solar energy. A lesson includes three activities that challenge scholars to apply knowledge in new ways. First, they learn to run an alarm clock without a battery by using solar energy. Next, they complete an...

Students take a closer look at the balance of trade. In this current events lesson, students watch PBS video clips about American trade with China. Students research Chinese production and consumerism in order to determine how...

Can Dan make a conjecture about dividing fractions with the same denominators? That is what your scholars are to determine. They must show that if the statement is true, they understand how the quantities were determined, and how...

Can you infer the wiring diagram of a series of lights based on their behavior alone? Scholars work with multiple boxes of four lights. They must flip the switch and decide how the lights are wired. By applying their knowledge of...

In order to understand how tax dollars are spent, young economists use given data and graph it on a circle graph. Circle graphs are highly visual and can help individuals describe data. A class discussion follows the initial activity.

Single-step addition or subtraction operations are applied in order to solve these 12 simple equations. An answer key is available, not so much for you, but perhaps to be used by learners as a self-correction tool. Note that the...

Learners observe and complete various math problems involving the commutative and associative properties of multiplication. They observe the teacher solve examples of each property, and complete two worksheets.

In this number sentences learning exercise, students are given number sentences with just the answers and they are fill in the numbers one to nine only once around the operations. Students complete 6 number sentences in a puzzle.

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

Middle schoolers add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. They find the square and the cube of numbers. They create a game incorporating computation on rational numbers. Everyone works together to write and evaluate...

Students create two prisms out of the same paper. They calcuate the number of centimeter cubes needed to fill each prism. They discover the concept of volume.

Sixth graders explore equations. In this math lesson, 6th graders discuss the rules for solving equations. Students apply the rules and solve various equations.
