Young mathematicians identify shapes and their correct names. They work with partners using various manipulatives and computer software to reinforce the concept. I really like these lesson plans. They are well-designed, the procedures...

Everyone loves math when it includes food! This lesson tries to take the notion of combining like terms in algebra and comparing it to sorting apples and oranges. It takes a step-by-step approach to helping students understand this...

Students design a "dream house" and plan to install flooring, tile and other products that are bought by a certain measurement. Problem solving be used in determining how much of each product to use and the total cost of each installed.

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of tessellations by watching a teacher prepared Powerpoint presentation and completing an activity. The students work independently to identify tessellations.

Seventh graders, exploring methods to estimate fractions, take notes on estimating fractions, 7th graders write letters to explain the process of estimating fractions and mixed numbers to someone who does not know the concept. Students...

Students, just like Eratosthenes, try to use math to calculate immeasurable objects. Teachers need to try out the calculations before having your class do them. They should take notes to be included with their own calculations and drawings.

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Fifth graders use area to calculate the cost for new flooring. They find the area of a square or rectangle. Calculating Area problems and worksheet are attached.

Twelfth graders apply the formula for finding the area of a triangle to various problems. They work real life problems for finding the area of a bathroom and the cost of tiling it. They play a game, Triangle Bingo, where they match...

Students practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.

Learners explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations instructional activity, students use Geometer's Sketchpad to construct cyclic and dihedral figures. Learners study reflection and rotation symmetry. Students...

Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.
