Students collect data, interpret data summarize proportional reasoning. Students determine (with various alternate goods) the number of fish in a nearby pond. Students capture the goldfish crackers, deal with pretzels and then write...

For this shape lesson, learners cut out tangram shapes and create different pictures with them. They look at 3-D shapes as well. There is a nice, hands-on component built into this lesson.

Learners explore the concept of ordered pairs. In this ordered pairs instructional activity, pupils list the ordered pairs of a graph in the shape of a fish. They use their calculator to translate the fish using lists, then translate the...

Ninth graders investigate the Cartesian coordinate plane.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the coordinates of a drawing of a fish and examine the effects of moving the drawing on the ordered pairs. Students predict the...

Students map and calculate the area of the school parking lot and then the volume of water falling on the school parking lot. They map the route surface runoff will take to the nearest water body and describe the roles that human...

Students explore time management by participating in itinerary activities. In this time telling lesson plan, students identify how to read a clock, how to communicate the time to others and how to plan for events in the day. Students...

Twelfth graders integrate trig functions with even powers. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders apply their knowledge of trig functions to help them integrate tangents and secants containing even exponents. They integrate the integrals...

Students watch a video on exponential growth and discuss the different graphs. In this calculus lesson, students analyze graphs using examples from the fish population, human population and investments. They discuss compounding interest...

Examine the benefits of chemical defense mechanisms. Organisms in oceans use chemicals to ward off predators. Duplicate this adaptation using a hands-on experiment in which you ward off your predators (your pupils) with some...

First graders read a story and locate where the countries in the story are located. In this traditions lesson, 1st graders explore food dishes from different countries and discuss where they are located. Students tell their favorite...

Students participate in a nature walk to learn about their natural environments. For this nature study lesson, students brainstorm a list of things to look for on their nature walk. Students go on the nature walk and locate objects they...

Students demonstrate their ability to collect, organize, and display data. They examine everyday objects that can be turned into a function machine for the lesson. They use colored fish to help them organize their data.

Young scholars explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.
