Students classify objects that are similar by one attribute. They explain what a pattern is and how to make a pattern using objects.

Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.

Students are introduced to map making and reading. Using maps, they identify the cardinal directions and discuss the importance of a legend. They analyze the human characteristics of the classroom and create overhead view maps of the...

Young mathematicians are on their feet and moving around in this primary grade sorting activity. After giving each child an object or picture card, they then sort themselves into groups, counting to see which has the most or least...

Students identify basic two-dimensional shapes. They are able to identify the four basic two-dimensional shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. Students write/draw in their learning logs a reflection of what they noticed...

Students explore models of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometric shapes instructional activity, students use hands-on manipulatives to explore three-dimensional shapes. Students predict whether each shape will roll or slide.

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

By using the Internet, hands-on activities, video, and cooperative learning, pupils look into the conditions in which light casts shadows on objects. The lesson includes fabulous hands-on activities, art projects, worksheets, and reource...

Kindergartners listen to a story read by their teacher, then use magnetic shape pieces to construct simple designes. They "build" their own house using pre-cut paper shapes. This age-appropriate lesson would be an excellent choice for...

Students order their classmates from smallest to largest foot length.  In this ordering their classmates from smallest to largest foot length lesson, students trace each of their classmates foot.  Students read a story called,...

Students discuss the importance of getting a good night's sleep. They make connections between sleep, energy, and having a good day at school. They make a sleepiness chart which shows how they feel each day for a week.

Students are assigned to shape groups and explore three-dimensional shapes. They review math skills and two-dimensional shapes.

Pupils explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Students sort and count objects. In this sorting skills lesson, students work in small group with various objects that can be sorted and counted in groups.

Students distinguish between items with and without energy. In this energy lesson plan, students understand that natural resources power electrical apparatus and that energy needs to be saved.

Learners read a version of "The Three Little Pigs" and then work in small groups to design a wall. They use Legos to build the wall and subject their design to a strength test.

Students use legos to create a farm. In this farm lesson plan, students create farm animals, a fence, a barn, trees, and more.

A simple game through which young learners "choose the larger block" by counting and comparing the numbers of pieces that make up each block.
