Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

Fifth graders create a musical composition, a drawing, or a 3D structure to show how math connects to other subjects. In this math and other subjects lesson plan, 5th graders present their presentations to the class and explain the...

Students create books about shapes.  In this shape lesson, students select a topic such as points, lines, angles, planes, polygons, quadrilaterals, triangles, circles, and polyhedra.  In groups, they create an illustrated...

Your class is going to love this activity. They get out their rulers, cardboard, and paints as they make Samurai breastplates. The simple art lesson lends itself to many different subjects such as, math/measurement, world history, and...

Sixth graders investigate the forces that move certain objects.  For this physics lesson, 6th graders design and create paper flying objects using origami methods, which they practice flying in different conditions.  Students...

Sixth graders interpret and replicate patterns. In this patterns instructional activity, 6th graders are given an item with a definite pattern which they must replicate using a calculator or computer and then justify how they...

Twelfth graders collect and analyze data.  In this secondary end-of-course mathematics lesson, 12th graders formulate a question they would like to answer and decide on an appropriate means of data collection.  Students...

Eighth graders use ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems.  In this using ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems lesson, 8th graders estimate the cost of a road trip.  Students estimate the distance...

Students build replicas about nature and sports. In this geometry lesson plan, students build 3D replicas of nature and sports objects in teams.

Students gain an understanding of time. For this time lesson, students work together to recognize the difference between yesterday, today, and tomorrow, As well as months, hours, minutes, and seconds. Students brainstorm ideas of ways...

Fifth graders practice using the scientific method by observing and creating mold.  In this bacteria lesson, 5th graders experiment creating their own mold and fungus using petri dishes and oatmeal.  Students create an...

Tenth graders investigate relations and functions. In this algebra lesson, 10th graders perform or research real life situation involving functions. This assignment can be used as a year end project.
