Help your third graders become familiar with equivalent fractions for one-half by having them create a quilt. They will use triangles to create a quilt of equivalent fractions over a period of 6 days. As they create the quilt pieces they...

Integrate art, math, life science, music, and fun in this beginning addition and subtraction activity. Children kinesthetically represent adding and subtracting numbers to 10; they stand up one at a time as you count forward and sit down...

Early learners explore shapes using colored blocks. They first get some hands-on time with the blocks and then look at beginning math concepts regarding spatial relationships. They work with a partner to build a 6-8 block tower...

To complete homework or not to complete homework ... that is the question. Decide whether it makes a difference on finals by doing homework. Individuals create a scatter plot and find a line of best fit for data on the percent of...

A unique lesson that's designed for visually impaired early learners, but can be adapted for anyone, is here for you. Pupils use brightly colored foam letters, beads, checkers, and an abacus, in order to gain practice in identifying the...

Students use optimization concepts to design their own container. In this optimization lesson plan, students understand how the optimization concept is critical in calculus and why products are packaged the way they are.

Young learners listen to a read aloud of Gail Gibbons book, Apples and the story A Red House With No Windows and No Doors. They compare characteristics of a number of kinds of apples, graph them and create a apple print picture. Learners...

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...

Students discover early number concepts for numbers 1 through 5. In this number concepts lesson, students work in stations doing hands-on activities such as sorting colored blocks, stringing beads, and counting sticks. Students also...

Budding mathematicians use sets of concrete materials to represent, count, and match quantities to 10 or more given in verbal or written form while participating in hands-on activities. This lesson plan uses the book 1, 2, 3 To The...

Students participate in hands-on activities in which they count and match objects to 10 or more using one-to-one correspondence and make a record of objects counted, which be kept in a math portfolio.

Fifth graders build increasingly larger squares and triangles using pattern blocks. They record the growth patterns on a chart and look for corresponding numerical patterns. Students describe the patterns they find and use them to...

Explore mathematics by analyzing images. As they view pictures on the SMART Board, individuals must write corresponding algebraic equations. They utilize models to visualize the math expressions.

Second graders identify and name fractional parts through the use of mud pie manipulatives. In this fractional manipulatives lesson, 2nd graders identify and label halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, eighths, and tenths and order them...

What financial situations and decisions await young learners after they graduate from high school? This project allows class members to glimpse into the types of responsibilities they will have as adults, from considering job...

Middle-schoolers solve linear equations with one single variable. They solve equations that are randomly generated using index cards. Half of an equation is written on each card and distributed to the class. which then attempts solve...

First graders listen to the book, 1, 2, 3, To The Zoo, and focus on the one-to-one correspondence while counting the animals and other objects in the story. They create page number four in their number books.

First graders listen to the story Three Bears from the book, Three Tales of Three, focusing on the one-to-one correspondence while counting various items in the story. They create pages for the number 3 for their counting books.

Young scholars explore one to one number correspondence. In this early math lesson, students make observations about and classify plants in order to gain an understanding of using numbers to describe their world.

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Students create non-linear, user-directed presentations in a presentation software application. They create, using Powerpoints, tutorial movies using the topic of solving a math story problem.

In this activity students pretend that they have been hired by a candy manufacturer to design a box for a new product they are beginning to market. The manufacturer has pre-determined the volume of the candy box. It is the students' job...

Learners use an animation program plan and create a short animation movie showing what they have learned in math or any other curriculum area.

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this geometry and language development instructional activity, students take a walk and look for shapes in the objects outdoors.  Students match each of four individual  paper shapes...
