Playing with bugs and buttons has never been so much fun! Offering a variety of different activities, this is a great resource for developing basic skills in preschool and kindergarten-aged children.

Students review data analysis techniques. In this statistics lesson, students access statistical software regarding the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth. Students read and interpret the data as they complete the...

Students write short books teaching a mathematical concept. They may work in teams, with one student being the author and one student being the illustrator. They view examples of studenT books that deal with math concepts before beginning.

Young mathematicians build an understanding of area and perimeter with their own two hands in a series of interactive geometry lessons. Through the use of different math manipulatives, children investigate the properties of...

First graders create either an alphabet or number book using Kid Pix software. In this alphabet and/or number unit, 1st graders design a themed alphabet and/or number book using the Kid Pix software over the course of three weeks....

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...

The Common Core is intended to help all children meet high academic standards. Here is a Common Core designed lesson that is intended for learners with communication or language difficulties. The lesson is written in a narrative style...

How does a computer perform a search in order to find data? The lesson begins with a demonstration on finding one number out of 15. Pairs then play three games of Battleship by using different search techniques. The lesson...

How do we determine how much information to include and what can be left out? By playing a game of 20 questions, the class generates the best strategies for finding a number. They then move on to guessing the next letter in a short...

Can multiple computers sort a list faster than one? Using a network drawn with chalk outside, groups move through the decision network to sort numbers. A series of extension questions come with the lesson and can be used in the same...

Students practice telling time by reading a children's story.  For this time keeping lesson, students read the book The Very Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carl, and create a schedule for the ladybug to complete certain activities....

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

What is and what will be the role of newspapers in the future? Keeping this essential question in mind, class members use print, electronic, and/or web editions of newspapers, to investigate topics that include financial...

Students count, match and arrange unordered fixed objects. Millie's Math House Cookie Factory educational software is used in this lesson plan.

Children identify wants and needs, bake and sell cookies to raise money, and then go to the mall to purchase gifts for Christmas stockings that are donated to the Salvation Army. They then perform Graphing activities to help children...

Students research one of the simple machines listed in the lesson and review several simple machine websites to complete their research. Students use software and a watch a video to learn more about machines. Students create a poster...

Students create a set of cards that represent factors of four and use these cards to play a game in which they practice separating numbers into fourths. They first practice separating numbers into fourths with a projected computer...

Students practice doubling the numbers one through five while viewing a projected computer activity using MathKeys software. They stamp numbers onto an activity sheet that corresponds to the number of objects on the screen and then write...

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 explore the concept of linear patterns by moving into different body poses. They also use MathKeys software to create linear patterns across a computer screen. In groups of three they take turns adding to the pattern.

Fifth graders practice the skills of finding the perimeter and area of different objects. They integrate technology tools by using a computer software program during the class as the second half of an assessment of measuring student...

Students develop skill in using co-ordinates. Up to eight cardinal points of the compass are used making this a useful activity in simple map and grid work. They utilize educational software to gain practice.

Students identify shapes that match specific shape descriptions involving a range of geometric terms and correct polygon names. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.
