Students explore how objects stay the same size and only "look" like they change when closer are farther from the object. They sequence aerial photos and satellite images from closest to farthest.

Kindergarteners use worms, puppets or other props to practice counting to 100. First, they listen to a read aloud of Count Worms by Roger Hargeaves. A worm pattern is used to count to 100, with each segment of the worm...

Kindergarteners explore various representations and uses of numbers to develop number sense. They participate in an activity and arrange patterns into groups. Students compare the sets and describe the objects in each set.

Use circle time to work on counting. Kindergarteners practice the months of the year, say the full date, chart the day's temperature, count to 100, and sing the alphabet song. This kind of daily routine cultivates deep roots for...

Help your young mathematicians completely master 10 by practicing one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, and recording numbers displayed. They make 10 with groups of two-different colored cubes and color in 10-frames to show how...

Compose and decompose sets of 13 and 14 and compare sets of each with your little learners. They use objects to construct sets of 13 and 14, record their answers, and compare sets in several different ways.

Exploring mathematics through art is a fun and concrete way to help learners grasp a concept. They will construct a paper penguin using fractions cut from circles. They'll need to determine 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 of each circle. Once the...

Students in a Kindergarten class measure each other's height using large building blocks and then visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure those students. They display the results in bar graphs, comparing the different age groups.

Learners participate in guessing their partners' hidden Lego pieces from their verbal clues. They work in partners to accomplish their goals. They are meeting a variety of math standards by completing this lesson.

Students practice cooking by following recipe instructions.  In this measuring lesson, students read food recipes and collect the materials needed to make one batch, then double the recipe to create twice as much food....

Students measure their shadows early in the morning, record direction of shadow, make marks in ground with chalk or tape, measure with ruler, and record results. Students repeat process at noon, and then later in afternoon. Students...

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Students discuss calendars in terms of measurement.

Students measure their own foot and place the outline on a graph. They make connections between the size of their foot and the bar graph that represents it.

Students walk for a timed amount over a measured course and receive a paper marker for each 'lap' they complete. At the end of the time period the entire class counts off the total of their markers to determine how many miles have been...

Students estimate how many children in their class it would take to equal the mass of one adult bear. They then weigh and record their measurement on a chart to check their estimate.

Students explore geometric shapes. In this math instructional activity, students identify geometric and non-geometric shapes using the computer. Students research geometric shapes in art and architecture.

Young scholars simulate hibernation with their stuffed animals. They predict the length of time of hibernation and type their math journal entries about sorting, graphing and draw pictures. They read bear hibernation stories.

Students create their own play dough to use for art projects. In this art lesson, students measure, pour and mix the ingredients to make their own play dough. Then, students use the clay to create their own sculptures.

Learners explore fall leaves. For this leaf lesson, students collect leaves to investigate. Learners also measure, compare and contrast, draw and look at leaves through a magnifying glass. Students sing songs and use movement in this...

For this recognizing the smaller shapes worksheet, students observe boxes with two shapes and color the smaller shape. Students solve six problems. 

Learners observe and sort tree leaves. In this plant biology lesson, students observe various types of leaves and identify the characteristics of each leaf. Learners measure and sort leaves according to size and color.

Students participate in games to explore measurement and statistical concepts. They measure distances using standard and nonstandard units and record their measurements in varous tables and use descriptive statistics to report their...

Students investigate how a historic map drawn in the early days of interstate automobile travel represented distances. They measure distance within their personal space.
