Provide a meaningful context for learning about the division of fractions with this upper-elementary math lesson. Presented with a simple, real-world problem, young mathematicians work in small groups to develop visual models...

Young mathematicians construct their own understanding of integers with an inquiry-based math lesson. Using colored chips to represent positive and negative numbers, children model a series of addition and subtraction problems as...

Students identify and name different geometrical shapes. In this math lesson, students distinguish odd from even numbers. They describe the properties of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Elementary schoolers solve two-step equations and practice money concepts. They solve multi-step addition and subtraction contextual problems and apply money concepts to real life situations. Pupils use pictures and counters to help them...

Children enjoy playing with silly putty, but it provides more than just fun. Young scientists make their own silly putty using different recipes. After a bit of fun, they test and graph the viscosity of each.

Students practice spelling words and earn points (Each spelling word is assigned a value.) for each one spelled correctly. They keep track of money earned and may purchase items at the end of the month.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers describe the various features of unit cubes, such as edges, corners, and faces. They also discuss how to represent measurements of a cube using exponents before engaging in various thinking and...

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.

Young scholars do an experiment with probability. In 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...

Students solve basic skills math problems involving eagles. They read and discuss facts about eagles and view a video. They complete the Eagle Math worksheet and check their answers. They create additional problems and solve them.

Students explore the concept of models. In this model lesson, students examine 3-dimensional models of various objects and body parts to better understand the natural world.

Young scholars complete various activities for probability. In this probability lesson, students use coins, cubes, peanut butter and jelly, playing cards, number cubes, darts, and a Gauss Curve to study probability. Young scholars must...

Using a game format, learners review what they know about theoretical probability. As they roll tetrahedron dice, they record their results as odd or even. Afterwards, they discuss their findings.

A set of quizzes and assessments would make a great companion to your lesson on making decisions and opportunity risks. Learners watch a PowerPoint before answering multiple choice questions about interest rates, saving money, and the...

Sixth graders investigate the concept of prime and composite numbers. They use a review of multiplication to help explain factoring. Students are taught the definition of a prime and composite number and then practice independently.

Your learners will examine probability through experiments and dice games. Using a computer, your class will perform simple experiments to collect and analyze data to determine the probability of different experimental results. Young...

Students problem solve to find the probability of each tree in a small forest to catch fire. For this probability lesson plan, students use the computer to complete this application.
