Young learners listen to the book Rooster's Off to See the World, and complete simple math activities using the book. In this simple math lesson, learners read and list the animals in the book. They arrange animal picture squares using...

Second graders compare and contrast gymnastics in 1859, 1900 and today. Students contrast differences in gymnastics for boys and girls today. Students pretend that they are interviewing a famous gymnast and write up their interview....

Students write letters to organizations, such as United States Geological Society, to find out more about rocks. Students write about a pretend time they found a magic pebble. Students calculate distances to travel to see various...

Third graders graph and analyze data relating to the book "Bunny Cakes" by Rosemary Wells. They listen to and discuss the book, vote on their favorite cake using Excel computer software, and discuss the results.

Using a carousel activity, class members gain an understanding of the idea of inferences by using pictures then connecting them to mathematics. Groups discuss their individual problems prior to sharing them with the entire class....

Students analyze data about various climates in Canada. In this data analysis and climate lesson, students use Canada Year Book 1999 to complete a worksheet and make connections between precipitation and temperature in different climates.

First graders illustrate a math problem with counters while reading story books, such as Margie Burton's "Add the Animals". They demonstrate a positive learning attitude toward mathematics and communicate clearly in oral, artistic,...

Go back to where it all began! Investigate how axiomatic systems and Euclidean geometry are based on undefined terms, common notions, postulates, and propositions by examining passages from Euclid's Elements. (Social studies teachers...

Fourth graders explore unit conversions. They create visual models of measurement units, identify tables of equivalent units and make simple conversions with in a measurement system. Students produce charts that identify units of measure...

Students describe, identify and compare two-dimensional figures. They also name and demonstrate the relative position of objects using directional words. They sort and compare two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects...

Students calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. For this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Seventh graders develop an examineing of absolute value through real world situations. They develop an examineing of when absolute value can be used in a given situation.

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Sixth graders identify and draw two-dimensional representations of a three-dimensional object. Students investigate the views of an object and determine that three views are required (front, one side and the top). Students use these...

Eighth graders review their examineing about numbers and number systems through playing the Number Game. They create a list of numbers and based upon the characteristics and properties of the numbers they earn points.

Second graders solve number sentences and examine how to apply basic operations of mathematics to those problems. They also use symbols to represent unknown numbers and how they are used in equations.

student make predictions or draw conclusions based on physical and visual representations of profit and sales. They model problems with physical materials and visual representations, and use models, graphs and tables to draw conclusions...

n a class discussion Students identify events or situations as being likely to occur or unlikely to occur. Then, they work in pairs to generate likely and unlikely statements to share with the class.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Eleventh graders sort different types of functions including rational, periodic, exponential, polynomial, quadratic, logarithmic and linear using "function cards." The functions are displayed in multiple representations including...

First graders read a variety of stories containing mathematical word problems. They illustrate the math problems with manipulable counters.

Students use a Venn Diagram to analyze data from their class.

Students brainstorm and discuss ways math is all around them, explain in writing how they solve math problems, describe mathematical ideas in writing, and create original story problems.

Sixth graders create and use a spreadsheet to make graphs which will be used to analyze Progress Report and Final Report Card grades. They practice finding the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. Students also incorporate column...
