Set young mathematicians up for success with this interactive math notebook. Including a list of rules and expectations for using the notebooks, as well as templates for a creating a cover page and table of contents, this resource...

Fifth graders examine the many uses of coordinate grids. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders write data driven equations, discuss the x and y-axis, and determine if using 2 or 3 ordered pairs is better.  Students complete several...

Provide a meaningful context for learning about the division of fractions with this upper-elementary math lesson. Presented with a simple, real-world problem, young mathematicians work in small groups to develop visual models...

Young mathematicians construct their own understanding of integers with an inquiry-based math lesson plan. Using colored chips to represent positive and negative numbers, children model a series of addition and subtraction problems...

Plant growth experiments offer rich, cross-curricular learning opportunities that can really excite and engage young learners. In this series, children work in pairs planting, measuring, and comparing the height of bean plants in order...

Young mathematicians spin their way to a deeper number sense with this fun, collaborative activity. Using two spinners, one with the numbers 0-9 and the other with the decades 00-90, pairs of learners take turns building and comparing...

Students practice their multiplication facts by reinforcement and repetition. Students write facts in their math journals, and use labeled soccer ball and deck of cards to practice multiplying by "number of the day." Play continues until...

Prevent your students from making a disaster out of their writing journals while attempting to draw their own graphic organizer. Instead, use this perfectly proportioned template of a Venn diagram.

Jack London's heart for adventure has come to define the spirit of America and its frontier. Selected passages from the foreword The Cruise of the Snark take eighth graders through London's construction and voyage of his ship before...

Scholars apply prior knowledge of statistics to write a conclusion. They summarize using correct academic language and tell the story of the data.

Students solve real life scenarios using algebra. In this word problem instructional activity, students use different websites dealing with engineering as it relates to the real world and math. They use other resources such as magazines...

Students write linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students are given information and asked to write an equation. They solve real world problems apply concepts of linear equations.

Create a class of mathematics master. They practice addition to ten until they have mastered the skill. They use their hands to add numbers and eventually find the missing addend to make a sum of 10. They also subtract a single digit...

In this math lesson plan, young learners receive a numeral written on a paper and arrange themselves in chronological order. They illustrate skip counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's using their numerals and then complete an individual 100...

Put on your math caps and explore place value and ways to represent numbers. Learners read, write, and represent whole numbers. They interact with numbers as they read and explore a teacher-created story, play games, and practice their...

Your learners will enjoy playing a game as a motivator to learning and remembering the adding and subtracting of fractions.

Explore the concept of "how many times" where the word "times" is defined. Learners will determine the product and quotient in a word problem. Then use manipulatives to solve the problem. Finally, they will write in their math journals...

An inverse relationship exists between exponents and logarithms, allowing mathematicians to easily convert one to the other. Scholars apply a brief definition of logarithms with a few practice problems. Then, they discover the...

In this language arts activity, learners write a story about their favorite day of the week. There is an illustrated word bank. Students chose from nouns, verbs, and conjunctions.

Fourth graders use manipulatives to practice math patterns.

Learners demonstrate their knowledge pictorially, concretely, and abstractly in this unit meant to last three hours over three days. Using hands-on activities, manipulatives,  real-world applications, and problem...
