Students measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

Students participate in a metric Olympics. In this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

Students explore measurements of rectangles. In this measurement comparison lesson, students discover the length, width, perimeter, and area of two different rectangles. Students record their measurements on a chart to make comparisons.

Fourth graders participate in a teacher-led discussion about temperature--hot and cold. Each group of students is assigned specific materials for their lab experiment. They record temperatures measured in their journals and then plot...

You're safe, when calculating the odds of stealing second base! Learners compare the rate of a runner to the distance the ball travels, in a lesson that explores right triangles and measurement. Full of discussion questions and fun...

Mystery is an exciting genre for young readers to investigate. The plots are so intriguing! Here is a series of lessons featuring Sherlock Holmes stories that invite learners to enter the world of the mystery genre.  Based on what...

Students define fractals and patterns. They explore how a seemingly random process can result in a pattern. Students practice probability and fractions skills by playing the chaos game online.

Sixth graders explore standard and nonstandard measurement. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders estimate the lengths of different objects and write about their observations during measuring. Students work in groups to...

Students study data on the nutritional value of Burger King meals in order to discover its nutritional value and also to compare the meals, using mathematical computation, to the recommended daily diet. In this data handling lesson,...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Eighth graders gain a better understanding of visual distances and estimation. They actively practice using metric measurement and conversion. Students practice cooperative exploring and team building.

Students set up and conduct a scientific experiment to demonstrate data collection. In this scientific process lesson, students complete an activity with the specific objective of using a slingshot to fire a t-shirt into the crowd at a...

Pupils compare the characteristics of arcade tokens to those of a circulating U.S. quarter to determine how a video game can tell the difference between the two. They examine coins and arcade tokens very closely to observe the differences.

Students explore motor skills by participating in a drawing activity. In this hand coordination lesson, students utilize activity sheets in which they drag their pencil in a specific direction quickly and efficiently. Students utilize...

Students play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra lesson, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

Students examine the importance of good quality safety gear. In this investigative lesson, students will tests various polymers, collect data, and analyze the data to determine which polymer is best for safety helmets. They will design a...

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

Fourth graders explore obtuse triangles. For this geometry lesson, 4th graders make obtuse triangles with paper and scissors. They determine how to find the center of their triangle.

Students solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. For this geometry lesson, students identify the sides and angles of a right triangle. They find the different trigonometric ratios and solve using sine, cosine and tangent.

Students solve problems involving triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply properties of triangles to find the missing angles and sides. They identify angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal.
