Young mathematicians solve arithmetic and simple algebraic equations using properties of real numbers, equality, and inequality. Justifying the procedures is their next task. They solve a problem involving linear inequality and justify...

Composed of three word problems, this math activity exposes young mathematicians to relationships present in multiplication and division. The first problem is most useful with a tape diagram in which learners are working with equal-sized...

Students explore counting by sharing snacks at a class party. In this number sense lesson, students discuss sharing items equally by counting out equal numbers of an item they intend to give each student in the class. Students...

Students investigate division by sharing food items with their classmates.  In this division lesson, students are given a food item which they must equally share among the class using division.  Students predict how many...

Pupils complete division activities using the concept of sharing equally. In this division lesson, students discuss division using equal piles. Pupils receive sets of candy and determine if the example were fair. Students view an equal...

Students solve multiplication and division problems using Unifix cubes. They explore multiplication and division through equal grouping of objects and sharing. Students discuss the task they completed and share how they completed the...

Students study related addition and subtraction facts. In this math lesson plan, students use related addition and subtraction to solve problems. Students use manipulatives to explore fact families.

Learners use manipulatives to study shapes. They sort shapes and use correct geometric terminology to describe them. Young scholars find real-life examples of 2 and 3 dimensional shapes, and classify figures in their classroom according...

Students study rectangles. For this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

First graders explore fractions with manipulatives. In this fraction lesson, 1st graders use paper foods such as sandwiches and pizza in order to find halves, thirds, fourths, eighths, and more. This lesson is divided up into 3 tiers...

Students collect and record data. In this early data analysis lesson, students gather data about their partners face. As a class, the students use tally marks and pictographs to record the data and answer question about the information...

First graders make sensible estimates and check the reasonableness of answers. They make up, tell and record number stories up to 9 about given objects. They skip count in twos, threes and fives.

First graders study number pairs and identify number pairs that sum to numbers from 10 to 30. They use number pairs to solve addition and subtraction problems. They make sensible estimates and check the reasonableness of answers.

First graders identify a whole and the fractions 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 using pizza. This is a very nice instructional activity, in that not only do students practice their fractions, they also get to eat the pizza at the end of the...

Students explore the additive identity property where they add multiple numbers to get to the number 6. For this number 6 lesson plan, students also work on their addition charts.

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Students graph inequalities on a number line and discuss how to solve for one variable. The teacher models examples as students take notes. In groups, students participate in an activity to demonstrate inequalities on a number line. ...

Bingo is a super fun game and can be used to reinforce a vast number of recognition skills. These bingo cards are prepared by constructing nine squares, each delineated with raised Wikki Stix or gluedyarn and containing a...
