Eighth graders visit two websites about France in order to take a virtual trip of France. They answer specific questions about France and state the similarities and differences between France and the U.S.

Sixth graders, in groups, explain why they think something. This requires students to listen to and respond to each other. In this particular lesson, 6th graders explain to their classmates when one can or cannot construct a specific...

Students investigate the measurements and geometry of the school grounds. They conduct inquiry while measuring the campus and some of the city blocks. Then students draw a map to scale and categorize property types using a pie graph.

Students compare and describe objects of differing lengths that are presented in a Mathkeys software compare mat. Working in pairs, one student is the chooser who sets up the objects while the other student is the sizer who puts the...

Students read, write, and identify whole numbers one through ten. They explore a variety of websites and complete a WebQuest, count fish and match the numbers to the correct number of fish, and complete a fish counting worksheet.

Second graders examine the commutative property of addition and the property of zero in addition and subtraction. They complete an asessment worksheet to gain practice reading and working number sentences horizontally and vertically.

Sixth graders practice collecting, organizing and displaying data. They create circle, bar, line and picto graphs. They analyze data in small and large sample groups.

Third graders read a thermometer with accuracy, record observations and data, and infer conceptual meaning. They integrate mathematical charting and graphing skills to organize their data. They explore what happens when they touch or use...

Students read a textbook about aerodynamics. They find out the definition of Mach number. They complete problems designed to demonstrate their ability to solve Mach number equations.

Students, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by applying it to the calculation of area, velocity, and pressure in a wind tunnel.
