Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

Students investigate their tracks to determine the number of footsteps it takes to travel the entire length of their bodies. Then they determine the taller of two children and the shorter of two children with their tracks. Students also...

Second graders examine human body movements by measuring the choreography of a dance.  In this physical education activity, 2nd graders participate in a creative dance which is based on specific movements of each limb, which...

Students explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. In this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Students analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and identify...

First graders explore geometry by completing a worksheet in class. In this non-standard measurement unit lesson, 1st graders discuss different techniques for measuring items without the use of a ruler. Students read several short stories...

Fourth graders practice measuring items with unconventional methods.  In this measurement prediction activity, 4th graders estimate the length of items a teacher brings to class and record their predictions.  Students measure...

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson plan, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of...

Here is a an awesome, 17-page lesson plan on a simulated Olympic Games for your young athletes. After learning about the history of the Olympics, the whole class takes part in events such as The Cotton Ball Shot Put, The Paper Plate...

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson plan, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to...

Students sort and compare/contrast the lengths of various whales. They sort pictures of whales in order of smallest to largest, and given a rope marked with the lengths of the whales, they compare the actual lengths of the whales.

Second graders determine when estimates and exact totals are appropriate in dealing with money. They simulate keeping a checking account over a period of time and keep a checkbook ledger to record deposits and expenses.

Students estimate, calculate, and count back the amount of change needed from purchases made during small group activities.

Students measure and correlate their foot lengths and body heights, then use this data to estimate height of Laetoli hominids. They use metric measurement and graphing to determine these heights.

Students examine tree-ring dating and discuss the lack of water the settlers in Jamestown faced. They create paper tree rings, simulate rain patterns, and describe the history of construction paper tree sequences.

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Students explore math functions by solving word problems in class. In this multiplication lesson, students utilize colored cubes and base blocks to visualize multiplication problems. Students identify the multiplication values within...

Students simulate hibernation with their stuffed animals. They predict the length of time of hibernation and type their math journal entries about sorting, graphing and draw pictures. They read bear hibernation stories.

Students work with dominoes to recognize the number of spots on each side as they relate to addition facts. In this seeing doubles lesson, students make triangle shaped flash cards for the double facts. Students represent the correct...

Learners take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Students simulate stars in the Milky Way Galaxy using newspaper prints. In this space science lesson, students compare the number of 'stars' on their page to familiar things. They calculate how many pages they need to have the same...
