Using the computer and the Paint program, Students explore the different tools available in the paint program, and then create a picture showing two sets of pictures and an equation.

Students practice addition and subtraction problems and answer questions using greater than and less than. They chart information to create a graph on the computer.

Students use math manipulatives (ice block sticks) to show the addition of two 2-digit numbers. They discuss short-cuts that might be used to make the problem easier. they apply the same principle for adding larger numbers, as well.

Students participate in hands-on, computer activities to demonstrate the addition and subtraction of mathematical situations. Given a story problem, students determine when to add or subtract. Using word processing technology, students...

Students study genetic manipulations and identify the solutions that could help to solve a problem.  In this genetics lesson students divide into groups and research genetics for a debate. 

Students solve one step linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students manipulate their variables and numbers to answer each problem. They make sure the equations stay balanced at all times.

Students add and subtract integers.  In this integer lesson, students use models to demonstrte the addition and subtraction of integers.  They describe zero pairs and write steps to add and subtract integers. 

Students use technology graph and evaluate linear inequalities. They write and manipulate inequalities for use on a graphing calculator. In addition they apply their skills to analyze inequalities. Answer Key included.

Students explore the parts of an orange to develop an understanding of the addition and subtraction of fractions. The concept of representing parts of a whole by dividing an object into smaller pieces is experienced in this hands-on...

Students, after reviewing the writing process and assessing how to use a digital camera to take creative photos, create a Digital Poetry Book. They incorporate the use of Microsoft Photo Draw and Publisher for the creation of their...

Fourth graders perform computation based on a cup of rice.  In this rice math activity, 4th graders complete math examples and problems using rice for manipulatives. Students participate in an online game based on rice math.

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

In this decimals, percent and scientific notation worksheet, 9th graders solve various types of problems that range from shading an indicated part of a shape to calculating using scientific notation to express their answer. They express...

Sixth graders work with mathematical expressions by interpreting, analyzing and problem solving with them. In this two step algebraic problem solving lesson, 6th graders use algebra tiles to solve equations.

Students make sequential patterns by using ants and following the model. They identify different parts of an ant by matching the picture to the word name. Pupils identify the ant's life cycle by creating a chart using pictures.

Students observe and demonstrate a variety of activities to identify the fraction parts and the symbols they represent. As a class they explore different fractions using unifix cubes, then use the cubes to build and discuss the...

Students identify, interpret and demonstrate a positive learning attitude. They identify, comprehend and use basic concepts and skills and then, communicate clearly in oral, artistic, written, and nonverbal form. Students also identify...

How much money do the children in these word problems have? Through addition and subtraction with the help of visual representations drawn by your pupils, they will understand these skills better.

In this modeling the Keeling Curve instructional activity, students use given data beginning in 1960 to create a mathematical model for the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide over time. Students manipulate the equation to predict the...

Manipulatives are always fun for children to use. They use connecting cubes and blocks to solve addition and subtraction word problems with numbers up to 10. They then play a math game and use their cube to create number sentences....

While this lesson plan provides a motivating and interesting way to review the concept of the order of operations, it involves the use of software called How the West Was One + Three x Four. There are also other resources that are...

Learners use high powered dissection microscopes to dissect and examine frog embryos as well as see balls of cells that were produced by rapid division. The concept of mitosis links to the lesson.

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Pupils determine the theoretical probability of winning a game of marbles. Individuals compare the theoretical probability to experimental probability for the same game. They continue on to compare two different probability games.
