Second graders complete an inquiry activity to determine how many combinations they can make using cut-outs of tops and bottoms. In this combinations and organized lists table, 2nd graders work with three colored cut-outs of tops and...

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences lesson, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds chart by coloring...

First graders participate in hands-on activities and use objects to create patterns. They observe a PowerPoint lesson describing matching objects and patterns. In groups, 1st graders complete geometry computer activities such as planting...

Students observe and gather data from a model simulated home.  In this efficiency lesson students examine the factors that influence energy efficiency, complete a lab activity then draw conclusions from their data.

Eighth graders investigate how to combine polynomials using different operations. The use of tiles is done in order to accommodate those who are kinesthetic learners. The sequencing of the lesson is easy to follow.

Students use tiles to find area. In this finding area lesson plan, students explore how to use square tiles to make shapes, then look at how they can be used to measure area. Students then explore how an area can be covered with...

Young scholars create story telling plates based on David Stabley's technique. They incorporate art history and aesthetics with hands on activity.

Students create "Mosaic Hearts" in this adaptable art lesson using some old magazines, construction paper, and glue. The lesson includes examples of finished hearts and a materials list. Ideal for a Valentine's Day activity!

Students examine how the hexagon shape can be a building block for quilt patterns. They view images of quilts, discuss symmetry and design patterns, and create and name an original quilt design.

Students create and observe a collage of oceanography topics that be placed on quilt tiles in a culmination art project to represent information learned.

Students walk around numbered tiles on the floor as music plays. When the music stops, a number is drawn and if they are on that number they win reward (Cheetos or other snack.)

Students participate in a variety of activities to understand statistics. They collect and interpret data. Also students distinguish the difference between a population and a sample. They make inferences and create arguments using data.

Students plan cities. In this environmental racism lesson, students design imaginary cities taking into consideration the amenities and environmental hazards that exist. Students discuss city planning challenges.

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

Students use physical models and graphs in order to solve problems that have their origin in the real world that require algebraic thinking. The words are changed into equations and inequalities in order to be solved. This requires...

First graders are introduced to pentominoes in this lesson plan. Using the Internet, they match pentominoes with the same shape and use a grid sheet to make their own. They are read books by their teacher and they identify the...

Young scholars solve train-scheduling word problems using a four-step problem solving model. In this problem solving lesson, students work in groups to a four-step procedure about a train scheduling dilemma.

Students identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Seventh graders create 3 original tessellation using polygons. They slide, turn, rotate and glide their designs on the computer. They print their tessellation on a T-shirt and teach the 6th graders about tessellations.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts and combining them into polynomials. The teacher uses direct instruction for delivery. They can use Algebra to make this lesson hands-on for the benefit of kinesthetic learners.

Students create digital mosaics. In this visual arts lesson, students discover the attributes and history of mosaics in a teacher-led discussion. Students use an educational program to make their own digital mosaics.

Students investigate linear equations through models. In this algebra lesson, students investigate solving one and two step equations. Review solving a basic equation before starting this assignment.

Second graders draw a model using correctly formed geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders notice geometric shapes in the world around them and accurately draw these shapes.

Fourth graders build a balloon hovercraft, take direct measurements, answer critical questions, and make calculations using the data gathered in order to see the concept of acceleration as a change in velocity. They use a worksheet...
