Young scholars use the disciplines of math and science to examine ecosystems. In groups, they calculate the amount of supplies they would need to live in the classroom for one day, a week and a year. Using this information, they apply...

Using food as a manipulative is one of the best ways to incorporate hands-on learning in the classroom. This hands-on approach allows young mathematicians to compare, order, and identify fractions with the use of Twizzlers® and...

Young scholars practice ways to better manage their time. They keep track of their current use of time. Students prioritize and schedule events and use a daily planning calendar to schedule their time.

A handprint worksheet is provided to help youngsters practice skip counting by 5s. As a follow up, you could have little ones gather into groups to skip count their own fingers by fives.

For use with a TI-nspire calculator, this lesson plan focuses on adding and subtracting polynomials. Learners use calculator to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical method horizontal methods. A class discussion follows...

Students solve word problems using words and mathematical symbols. In this algebra lesson, students verbalize what they do to arrive at their answers. They set up their problems algebraically as they apply their knowledge of math to...

Students investigate non-standard linear measurement.  In this cross curriculum measurement lesson, students listen to the book Measuring Penny by Loreen Leedy, and identify pages in which non-standard measurement is used. ...

Middle schoolers explore the primary purposes of a variety of types of insurance. They determine who benefits the most from insurance coverage, and examine the factors that lead to increases and decreases in insurance premiums. The...

Students complete an Excel project on tessellations. In this technology and math lesson, students discuss tessellations and their occurrences in nature. Students use the Excel computer program to create tessellations.

Second graders participate in a math game using dimes and pennies. They practice combining coins to make a given amount of money, and they use the combinations to practice adding two digit numbers. Teacher assessment strategies and...

Fifth graders study perimeter. In this math instructional activity, 5th graders use Cheerios to find the perimeter of various polygons. Students discuss how to figure the perimeter of triangles, squares and rectangles.

Learners explore lists and determine the derivative for that list. They use regressions to discover equations. 

Learners prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English and...

Here you'll find a great sampling of practice standardized test questions organized into four sections: ELA, mathematics, social studies, and science. Help your learners become familiar with the types of multiple-choice questions...

Using matrix multiplication and inverse matrices, students are trying to uncode a coded message. Students encrypt simple messages using 2 x 2 matrices.

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

Students identify the volume of cones and pyramids. For this geometry lesson, students derive the formula for cones and pyramids. They calculate the volume of cones and other three dimensional shapes.

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. In this geometry lesson, learners differentiate between rectangular prisms and cylinders. They use the correct formula to solve for each solid.
