Fifth graders examine ecosystems in their schoolyard. In this nature and ecosystem lesson plan, 5th graders map their schoolyard into workable plots. They classify plants and animals found in the plot. They revisit their site every two...

Students view a video and discuss different kinds of feet found in the animal kingdom. They make prints using paint, rubber stamps and their own feet and then measure and compare the tracks.

Students complete various small group activities to classify items and determine the types of combinations that can be made with these items. In the second lesson, students create menus for a restaurant to help them gain money sense and...

Fifth graders identify and classify scalene, equilateral, and isosceles triangles. In this triangle lesson plan, 5th graders define the different attributes of 3 types of triangles and sort them by descriptions and...

Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. In this shapes lesson, students listen to descriptions of shapes with words such as sides, angles, congruent, and parallel. Students then give the teacher examples of shapes...

Learners classify triangles and make connections regarding angle measurements and attributes of acute, right, and obtuse triangles. They listen to teacher define and explain triangles. Everyone imagines a place where a broken wing for a...

Students investigate triangles. In this shapes geometry lesson, students define and state the attributes for equilateral, scalene, and isosceles triangles. Students locate the prefix "tri" in a variety of words and make connections with...

Students learn the basic definitions of a quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle and square and explain the relationship/classification process between them.

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

Second graders investigate the concept of Puerto Rican animals through using math word problems. They create a story to correlate with the word problems. The lesson also uses data of species counts to show increases and decreases for...

Fourth graders provide a habitat for live mealworms and observe their life cycle. In this animal life cycle and scientific inquiry lesson, 4th graders create a habitat for a live mealworm and observe and record related data as it grows....

Third graders read Ann Tompert's book, Grandfather Tang's Story, and complete math word problems based on the story. In this word problems lesson plan, 3rd graders use tangrams in the word problems.

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students examine the attribute of equilateral triangles. In this equilateral triangle lesson, students examine a number of paper triangles to determine how they are classified. They determine how triangles are depicted in Navajo rugs.

Kindergarteners arrange manipulatives or everyday objects in groups of one through five. They identify groups seen in pictures of nature and compare same numbers of different objects.

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

In this mental math: multiples of ten reteaching worksheet, 4th graders review the steps of using a basic fact and a pattern of zeros to multiply mentally. They find the products in 16 examples, and use a table to answer 2 more.
