Students use tiles to find area. In this finding area lesson, students explore how to use square tiles to make shapes, then look at how they can be used to measure area. Students then explore how an area can be covered with different...

Fifth graders rename measurements with cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. In this measurements lesson plan, 5th graders pour different amounts of liquid that they transfer from cups to pints to quarts and to gallons. The then have to...

Third graders measure items around the classroom using meter sticks. In this measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders are taught how to measure the length of an item with a meter stick. Inches, centimeters, millimeters, decimeters, and...

Students measure angles that are formed by parallel lines and a transversal lines. In this angles lesson plan, students measure and define angles that are made by parallel and transversal lines. They will color code the angles based on...

Learners measure the circumference of a cylinder. In this cylinder lesson plan, students use round container lids and flexible rectangles to measure the circumference of the cylinder. They put the shapes together to make their own...

Young scholars identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then young scholars identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the...

Students develop mathematical awareness. For this early math lesson, students predict the number of M&M candies in a bag, sort them into colors, and count them.

Students create a class "quilt" made of paper. In this hands-on symmetry lesson, students fold paper to create symmetrical figures then work in groups to color quilt patches that will form together to make a symmetrical class quilt.

Students sort and count objects. In this sorting skills lesson, students work in small group with various objects that can be sorted and counted in groups.

Sixth graders examine triangles in a figure. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders establish a method for counting triangles within a given figure. Students discover that the total number of triangles is the sum of all numbers counted.

Students use tables, graphs and diagrams to collect data. In this problem solving with diagrams lesson plan, students construct their own tables and graphs containing information they gather from a drawing. They also make a Venn Diagram...

Students derive a formula for the interior degrees in any convex polygon. In this geometric figure instructional activity, students determine the shapes of various polygons and the number of triangles formed. They use this information to...

Young scholars use computer software to simulate chemistry laboratory experiments. In this experimenting using computer software lesson plan, students use software called "The One Computer Classroom" to investigate wave simulations as a...

Students investigate chemical and physical changes. In this chemical and physical changes lesson plan, students distinguish between a chemical and physical change when observing baking bread and hot dogs and bagels cooking on a grill....

Learners explore the density of liquids. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students discover the density of water, corn syrup, and cooking oil through an experiment. In addition, learners will draw and label pictures of the...

Students analyze and record data. In this lesson about graphing and gathering data, students learn about the step of an experiment. Students learn new vocabulary, sort beans, record the data, and graph the data. Students add a variable...

Pupils observe teacher demonstrations that illustrate density. In this density lesson, the teacher demonstrates how air bubbles in a carbonated drink can cause a raisin to float and how an egg sinks in fresh water, but floats in salt...

First graders identify solids, liquids, and gases. In this matter lesson, the teacher guides students through numerous demonstrations as they determine the properties of solids, liquids, and gases and classify things as each. As the...

Students explore the vibrational nature of sound. In this science lesson plan, students gain an understanding of sound frequency, pitch, and conduction using the string telephone, tuning fork and musical glasses experiments.

Second graders discover the process of osmosis. In this science lesson plan, 2nd graders learn how different kinds of solutions move through selectively permeable membranes, understand the role of osmosis in the movement of molecules,...

Students explore air and air pressure. In this science lesson plan, students find air and discover that it takes up space, has weight, and exerts pressure as they complete an activity.

Students explore air pressure. In this science lesson plan, students show how air occupies space and exerts pressure and learn how great the effects of air pressure can be.

Students demonstrate their knowledge of place value through auditory, visual, and kinesthetic channels. In this place value lesson, kinesthetic learners work with a partner using both sets of hands to represent 2 digit numbers. Visual...

Seventh graders practice measuring skills as they add mixed fractions. In this fractions lesson, 7th graders measure the distance from their wrist to the tip of their finger, record the measurement, and repeat this procedure with other...
