Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Math wizards learn the five-step plan to solve math word problems. They investigate the five-step process for solving word problems, and examine the use of code words for each of the operations and solve a problem using the strategies.

Middle schoolers create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both...

Students explore the solar system. In this planets lesson, students learn about the other planets in the solar system. They watch a video clip from National Geographic on the solar system, compare and contrast the planets and create a...

In this maximum and minimum activity, students solve and complete 10 various types of word problems. First, they find the numbers if the product of the square of one of the numbers with the cube of the other number is to be a maximum....

Students construct and maintain a school garden. For this gardening lesson, students plan the construction of the garden by writing letters to local businesses asking for supplies and materials; students build the garden using their math...

In this algebra worksheet, students manipulate integers to add, subtract, multiply and divide using order of operation. They rewrite word problems and solve for the unknown. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

 In this Integrated Algebra worksheet, students solve problems that reflect the topics covered during the course of work.  The answer key identifies each question by standard and topic.  The twenty-four page worksheet...

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Learners review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

In this online, interactive learning exercise, students solve ten SAT preparation problems in 12 minutes. The problems vary in difficulty and content.

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.

Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Second graders, in groups, prepare a list of proposed record ideas for the class book.

Fifth graders determine that carbon dioxide is a gas given off during respiration and that oxygent is the gas that is absorbed during respiration. They determine the air capacity of the lungs.

Seventh graders examine congruence postulates and apply knowledge to triangles in the world around them.

Students design and build a car that is capable of traveling across the floor quickly, and also up a steep ramp.

Second graders design a successful kite for Kite Day.

Pupils explore how structural forms adapt to evolving world cultures. In groups, students examine posters from the past and write about the picture. Pupils make predictions about what the picture will look like in the future. Students...

Students review the characteristics of wetlands and list their benefits. After viewing short videos, they identify the organims that make their home in wetlands and how they have adapted. They compare and contrast the characteristics...

Students choose the correct strategy to solve multiplication and division. In this algorithm instructional activity, students use at least two strategies that use properties of operations and estimation. Students also recognize the...
