Faster than a speedy calculator! Show your classes how to use polynomial identities to multiply numbers quickly using mental math. 

Students explore the sense of touch. They investigate unknown solids using the sense of touch. Pupils use their senses of touch to match feely gloves. Students explore body parts, by tracing their hands and feet on paper. They create a...

Learners experiment with the combination of vinegar and baking soda. In this applied science lesson plan, future scientists compare qualitative and quantitative data collected from their exploration. Then they work together to analyze...

Young scholars explore the senses. In this Applied Science lesson plan, students investigate the items in "feely" boxes with their hands, both touching the items and shaking the boxes to hear the sound the items make. Young scholars also...

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

Don't use use a fraction of the resource — use it all! Scholars attempt a set of five problem-of-the-month challenges on fractions. Levels A and B focus on creating fractions and equivalent fractions, while Levels C, D, and E touch on...

Students explore human senses. In this applied Science lesson, students utilize their senses to distinguish various objects. Students explain their descriptions.

Youngsters test magnetic strength by measuring the mass of paper clips that they "hook" with a magnet. Your first and second graders should love the hands-on activities associated with this plan. The reproducible materials are quite good...

Take finding volume of 3-D figures to the next level. In the 22nd lesson of the series, learners find the volume of composite solids. The lesson the asks them to deconstruct the composites into familiar figures and use volume formulas.

Students use their feet to measure distance between themselves and a tree trunk.  In this distance activity, students use the number of steps, and string to measure distances and height of the tree.  Students can get the tree...

Students read books, learn about the letter s, and eat raisins all to learn about shadows. For this shadows lesson plan, students also go outside and look at shadows and sing songs about shadows.

Students use scientific tools. In this Applied Science instructional activity, students investigate the use of scientific tools to enhance observation and discovery. Students indicate how each tool assists scientific work.

Students explore the five senses and the significance of each sense. In this five senses and diversity lesson plan, students listen to You Can't Smell a Flower With Your Ear by Joanna Cole and take a walk observing opportunities to use...

Students factor trinomials correctly. In this algebra lesson plan, students review the rules for factoring trinomials. They factor different polynomials as they relate the same concept and idea to facoring trinomials.

Young scholars investigate energy-saving window treatments. In this environmental lesson, students research how energy-saving windows work by conducting an experiment using a thermometer and graphing data. Young scholars identify why...

First graders listen as the teacher reads a story involving cross-continent traveling. Students collect a random sample by tossing an inflatable globe and recording whether they touch land or water each time they catch the globe in order...

Fifth graders plot the migration of birds using Google Earth. In this lesson on bird migration, 5th graders work in groups to plot the migration of a group of birds using Google Earth. Students present and discuss their findings and look...

Students graph and solve quadratic equations. In this functions activity, students analyze a quadratic equation using three points on a curve to define the graph of a quadratic function. They find the vertex and intercepts of the graph.

Students read "How To Make an Apple Pie and See the World", the story of a girl who traveled the world to find the ingredients to make her apple pie. They conduct a series of interdisciplinary activities including testing their senses,...

Students define mean, median, mode and outliers. In this statistics lesson plan, students analyze data using the central tendencies. They follow a path through a maze collecting data. They analyze the data using the mean, median and mode.

Students calculate the area and diameter length of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the use of pivots as they review parts of a circle. They create a circle using cardboard and label all the parts.

Students solve quadratic functions. In this solving quadratic functions lesson, students determine the height of an object at a given time. Students determine the time at which an object hits the ground. Students answer questions...
