First graders view congruent shapes on a white board and define what congruent means.  In this congruent shapes lesson, 1st graders recognize which shapes are congruent and which aren't  Students complete a giant worksheet in...

Students identify the three common reasons for communication: information, persuasion, and entertainment. They create media messages for different purposes and develop a purpose of message shapes and how it helps shape the message.

Second graders examine the properties of liquids and their classifications. They compare and contrast cups of different liquids and record their findings in journals. Students observe how liquids flow at various speeds and that unlike...

Students observe the characteristics of different seed types. They classify, sort, name and write about the seeds.

Learners understand and reinforce how numbers are assigned to objects, as well as think about more, less, or equal values. In this lesson, students are asked to describe, compare, and classify plants. They should be able to use numbers...

Seventh graders identify a polygon and classify them using congruent sides and number of edges and vertices. Students transform two dimensional objects into three dimensional objects.

Students relate the trigonometric functions to the coordinates of the unit circle. They classify trigonometric functions as odd or even. Students determine the signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. They are explained that...

Students investigate classification of different animal groups. In this biology lesson students list characteristics of themselves and others they know to show differences and how they are classified. Students then answer...

Students classify themselves according to the six skin types. In this biology lesson plan, students explore the causes of human skin variation. They present their findings in class.

Students study strip patterns and identify symmetry. They create a paper doll chain. They experiment with different shapes. They determine if their chain is a strip pattern. They create snowflakes with triangles.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve 6 problems in which an angle is analyzed. From 5 choices, students circle the correct math symbol that names the angle. There are no examples or explanations for the symbols, which would be...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of two and three-dimensional figures. They observe the teacher demonstrate the faces, edges, vertices and names of specific figures. In groups, 6th graders examine and describe given figures. ...

Fourth graders review the types of rocks and minerals they see in photographs. Individually, they are shown a sample of rocks or minerals and classify them based on their characteristics. They give their observations to another...

Eighth graders compare and contrast the three different types of rock. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders classify rock samples according to their correct rock type. They design their own data collection table.

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry instructional activity, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students work in groups to describe plants using numbers. In this number instructional activity, students use numbers to define plants and then use numbers to write descriptions of themselves.

Fourth graders explore polygons. In this polygon lesson, 4th graders sort polygons according to their properties. Students discover the connection between polygons and the Greek language.

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

Elementary graders discover the concept of fractional pieces of a whole. They investigate the meanings of fractions in everyday life and why they are used. Pupils divide brownies amongst each other to demonstrate the use of fractions...

At first glance, grassland ecosystems might seem dull and uninteresting, but once you start to explore it's amazing the things you'll find! Through this series of engaging lessons, activities, and experiments, elementary students examine...

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students play with a floor tile applet to see that there are many types and characteristics of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles,...

Such a great resource and perfect for learners in Kindergarten through third grade. The class will discuss cloud types and formation, and then they'll get outside and draw as they observe the clouds they see. They'll need to take note of...
