Students attempt to describe and use longitude and latitude. They will identify different countries, their neighbors, and borders around the world. Included in the lesson the students identify natural features that control the borders of...

Ninth graders explore the point-slope form of linear equations and graph lines in the point-slope form. After completing the point-slope equation, they identify the slope of a line through a particular point. Students explain the...

Students compute the slope of a line based on the coordinates of two points on the line. In addition, they examine the relationship between the numerical value of slope and its properties on a graph.

Third graders examine how multiplication is a quicker and neater form of addition and how they can simulate the concept of groups and (sets) to construct the visual effect of multiplication by way of forming groups of (2's) (3's) and (4's).

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

Second graders practice their estimation skills using blocks. In this math lesson, 2nd graders explain how estimating makes addition easier. They complete a worksheet after the lesson to reinforce new learning.

Students participate in a game blending skill with chance to enhance students' understanding of the concept of place value. They explain that the value of a number increases when digits farthest to the left have greatest value.

Students work cooperatively as a team and accurately throw a Frisbee. In addition, students explore fitness components and different systems of the human body.

Students develop and apply a variety of strategies to solve problems, with an emphasis on multi-step and non-routine problems. They acquire confidence in using mathematics meaningfully.

Sixth graders study addition and subtraction facts. In equal groups, they play a race game to correctly solve addition and subtraction problems. Using a PowerPoint presentation, the teacher demonstrates how to write word problems and...

In this research learning exercise, students read about how to organize themselves when doing research. They read about a student who had a topic to research but had difficulty coming up with books about his topic. Students suggest ways...

In this subtraction worksheet, students solve 20 problems in which two digit numbers are subtracted. There is no regrouping on this page.

Third graders build a periscope and experiment with it to determine how this tool helps them extend their line of sight.

Students compare 19th Century short stories to 20th Century sitcoms. They address seven questions as the watch a sitcom for homework and create a web to use for further comparison.

Students define reflection, rotation and symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, students move the graph around the coordinate plane and identify the line of symmetry. They identify the different designs of a kaleidoscope.

Students solve problems using the distributive property. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations by multiplication and combining like terms. They graph their lines on the calculator.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Young scholars study transportation in mid-19th-century Brooklyn. They look at several photographs of Brooklyn transport from the era and read Walt Whitman's poem "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry." In addition to making critical observations and...

Students become familiar with weather terminology and different representations of data as they explore various on-line weather sites. They practice using and interpreting data determining the effects of the time of day, time of year and...

Students use complementary media to fill up the art space with repeated shapes. They use a water and wax technique to manipulate the surface of the artwork.

Students compute the slope of a line that passes through two points and explain how the slope formula is derived. They determine properties associated with positive, negative, undefined, and no slope.

In this graphical interpretation of vectors activity, students explore the geometrical appearance of given problems, determine if vector subtraction is commutative and graph a system of equations. This three-page activity contains...

In this fractions worksheet, students learn how to add 2 fractions together. They first read an explanation of how to solve these problems, which includes example problems. Students then solve the 6 fraction addition problems in the...

Students monitor current events using on-line and traditional resources. They explore issues such as what trends they see developing in specific news issues over time and how different news stories might be interrelated.
