Elementary schoolers are arranged in pairs and view the video Math Works: Measurement: The Difference Between Perimeter and Area. They discuss any prior knowledge they have of the term perimeter and then brainstorm together what the...

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences lesson, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds chart by coloring...

Young scholars create factor trees.  In this prime and composite lesson, students model fractions using tiles.  They create factor trees and identify prime and composite numbers.  Young scholars use grid paper and tiles to...

Second graders complete an inquiry activity to determine how many combinations they can make using cut-outs of tops and bottoms. In this combinations and organized lists table, 2nd graders work with three colored cut-outs of tops and...

Students use tiles to find area. In this finding area lesson plan, students explore how to use square tiles to make shapes, then look at how they can be used to measure area. Students then explore how an area can be covered with...

Second graders explore probability. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders discuss the possibility of choosing a certain colored tile from a bag. Students perform experiments and describe the outcomes as certain, possible, unlikely and...

Students identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Fourth graders build a balloon hovercraft, take direct measurements, answer critical questions, and make calculations using the data gathered in order to see the concept of acceleration as a change in velocity. They use a worksheet...
