Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

Young scholars create models of the Mean Value Theorem.  In this Mean Value lesson, students use their knowledge of derivatives and exponential functions to explore the Mean Value Theorem.  They illustrate the meaning of the...

Second graders practice problem solving strategies. In this problem solving lesson, 2nd graders use strategies such as guess and check, acting out, drawing pictures and looking for patterns to solve problems. Students work in groups to...

Fifth graders complete 3 activities centered around percents. In this ratios, proportions and percents instructional activity, 5th graders create designs on grid paper that illustrate a variety of percents, solve percent problems...

Second graders explore estimation and measurement. In this estimation and measurement lesson, 2nd graders use footsteps to measure distances around the classroom. Students sing songs to measure the number of beats from one area to the...

Third graders use fractions manipulatives to explore fractions.  For this fraction lesson, 3rd graders work in groups based on skill to increase understanding of fractions.  Students create fraction books.

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...

Sixth graders demonstrate operations with decimal numbers. In this computation lesson, 6th graders play the game "Diabolical Decimals." The objects of this game is to construct the largest number after rolling a die five times. The...

Third graders create a table in order to record estimations and measurements of objects. In this estimation and measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders estimate and measure object's lengths, area, weight, and capacity.

Students find the shapes that are asked of them out of a bunch of shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students find a specific number of a specific shape with a specific size and color.

Fourth graders identify line symmetry. In this geometry lesson, 4th graders are given various pictures and identify if they are symmetrical. Students search through magazines for symmetrical pictures.

Students arrange coins based on their value.  In this coins lesson, students trace and record the value of each coin.  Students count up to find the total value of all the coins.

Second graders identify number patterns. For this number lesson, 2nd graders find the rule or pattern in a group of numbers and continue the pattern using the rule. They create their own number pattern by making their own rule. 

Twelfth graders use a web site to investigate roller coaster physics. In this mathematical modeling lesson, 12th graders are grouped according to their performance on a test. Each group is given an activity to complete on a web site...

Tenth graders investigate relations and functions. In this algebra lesson, 10th graders perform or research real life situation involving functions. This assignment can be used as a year end project.  

Tenth graders investigate the use of a GPS. In this math lesson, the students will use a GPS type system to determine positioning in two dimensions.  They will complete questions out of a student workbook.  

Twelfth graders explore a variation of proof. In this geometry lesson, 12th graders apply their knowledge of proof to different scenario. They use 3 different tiers to advance through the lesson.

Ninth graders investigate and make conjectures about volume. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders analyze data and predict the outcome. They calculate volume using different tiers.

Fifth graders put each number they receive in the appropriate order in a number line or a number circle. In this numbers lesson plan, 5th graders develop number sense and manipulate the numbers in order.
