Students investigate the differences when using decimals, fractions, and percents. They focus on the process of using them in real problems and how to convert them from one form to another.

Practice Internet research skills. Each class member will need Internet access in order to follow along as you model how to search using key words and to do their own research on African and Asian elephants. Their notes will go into a...

Young mathematicians apply problem-solving skills to equations that have more than one variable. They will work through the process to problem solve and discover the solution.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Student are assigned one of the sections on whole numbers. After reviewing the content, they teach their assigned sections to other class mates. They publish their findings on a PowerPoint slide show to use when they teach their section.

Students find zero pairs and add integers using zero pairs and a number line. They generalize rules for adding integers. The class view approximately 10 minutes of video divided into three segments.

Students participate in a WebQuest to apply economic concepts. In this economics lesson plan, students are guided to various websites and simulate being an entrepreneur.

Learners determine the cost of a t-shirt using a variety of mathematical operations to solve problems. Then they use a spreadsheet to calculate the cost of lettering a t-shirt and display this information in a graph.

In this science worksheet, learners complete a series of puzzles related to the subject of plants. They complete a reading and apply the information to measure reading comprehension.

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

In this math worksheet, students apply the skills of different operations in order to solve the 10 word problems that have mixed numerals.

Sixth graders explore using inverse operations to solve decimal and fraction problems. In this decimal and fraction lesson, 6th graders prepare ribbon for a part and need to cut it in equal lengths. Students analyze the problem.
