Sixth graders apply knowledge of how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They determine why it is inappropriate to measure the area of land by its perimeter which is done in certain areas of New Guinea. They complete a...

Pupils review how to solve and graph an inequality. They also review how to find simple interest from a given problem set. The teacher performs informal assessment through observation of students.

Learners are introduced to the problem. They brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. Students work on the problem in pairs to discover what strategies might help to find the answer.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Eighth graders resolve vector problems without the knowledge of math.  In this vectors lesson students with poor math skills get a chance of passing the course. 

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson plan very effectively demonstrates the concept of...

Students investigate the Metric System. They discuss the history of the Metric System, convert various units of measurement into the Metric System, and solve problems on a spreadsheet.

Pupils utilize LEGO's to replace cards for a game that replicates "Go Fish".

Fifth graders determine which container made from a single sheet of paper has the greatest volume. They look the solutions made by three different students before working on their own examples.

In these comma usage worksheets, students read the sentences and add commas into the sentences. Students place the commas in the boxes within the sentence and an x if no comma is needed.
