Students calculate the volume and surface area of each shape. In this geometry lesson, students use nets and other three dimensional polygons to create visuals of the volume of a shape. They define important vocabulary words...

Identifying the location of ordered pairs on coordinate planes is the focus in the math lesson presented here. In it, 4th graders are introduced to coordinate pairs, the x/y axis, and the techniques associated with this type of graphing....

Although the methods are all scientific, forensic science was started by police officers rather than scientists, who relied on observation and common sense. Young detectives use many tools to solve crimes around the school in a...

Students read the book "Caps for Sale." Students model reading a sentence and using one color cap and the color word (written in its color). They match the color word (written in its color) to the correct color hat.

Young scholars calculate the volume of solids. In this calculus lesson, students apply the Disk and Washer Method to solve for the volume of three dimensional objects. They calculate the volume caused by rotation that...

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

Students investigate the properties behind the quadratic equation. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify quadratic equation in the real world. They graph the parabola and identify the vertex and intercepts.

Students use a table, graph or equation to represent a quadratic function. In this algebra lesson, students model and graph with quadratic function. They become comfortable representing quadratics using different methods.

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement lesson plan, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

Fifth graders explore the three types of angles. In this math lesson, 5th graders estimate the measure of angles and draw the angles using a protractor.

Students tell time. In this ELL vocabulary development and math instructional activity, students orally tell time to five minute intervals when shown a classroom clock. Students practice using number and "telling time" vocabulary in...

Primary readers complete the activities in a Pebbles, Sand and Silt FOSS kit. As a class, they are given a group of rocks and they are to categorize them based on their activities in the FOSS kit. They use this information and apply it...
