Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of using all four operations in order to create numerical expressions. They practice creating various patterns of problems that could be solved. The expressions are works of...

Time flies when you're teaching math! Okay, maybe not for everyone, but this lesson will have your young mathematicians calculating elapsed time before you know it.

This Groundhog's Day, challenge scholars to predict, estimate, tally, and graph in a weather-themed lesson in which class members play the role of the groundhog to forecast the weather come February second. 

This computation math review PowerPoint enables students to review concepts such as subtraction, addition, multiplication, fractions and division. This PowerPoint is based on the "Jeopardy" game show and allows students to participate...

I really like this clever lesson on using peanuts to help facilitate the learning of addition and subtraction for your young mathematicians. Youngsters use peanuts as "counters" for a variety of math problems that include greater than...

Create three dimensional objects in an applied science lesson plan. The goal is for your class to recognize, compare, and model shapes. Using cookie cutters and clay or play dough, they create models for three-dimensional shapes.

Young mathematicians play Ring Toss Math to find sums and differences to 18. If you're looking for an engaging, in-class game to help reinforce these mathematical concepts, this lesson plan could be for you!

Young readers view the video "Problem-Soving: Math Episode 2." They discuss the strategies featured in the video. They brainstorm some school-based problems such as, trash on the playground, noise in the hallways, limited handicapped...

Young scholars talk about mathematical language.  In this talking about your name lesson, students use the letters in their own name to review math vocabulary and concepts.  

Students recognize math problems within stories.  In this consumer math lesson, students discover clues to solve math problems within written story problems.  Students complete the story problems on a worksheet.

Students explore energy production by participating in a class discussion. In this renewable energy lesson plan, students discuss the differences between solar, coal, wind and fossil fuel energy sources and why some are better for the...

Students identify and name different geometrical shapes. In this math lesson plan, students distinguish odd from even numbers. They describe the properties of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Master place value with a series of lessons that use math journals, manipulatives, and place value mats. Kids follow the instructions to represent numbers of all sizes with base ten blocks and recording sheets. 

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

Understanding place value is the goal of this math lesson. Learners play a game which has them create a number cube, gameboard, and then play the game using the steps outlined in the lesson. The lesson also has adaptations for different...
