Your kindergartners know their shapes - but can they identify their locations? A 3x3 grid contains geometric shapes such as diamonds, circles, and hexagons, and pupils locate the shapes within the grid. Which shape is underneath the...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Lower graders sort and group objects by their different properties. They watch a video about sorting then, sort and organize candy in different groups. Students compare how others sorted their candy. Finally, they decide which group has...

It's a subtraction party! Kindergartners subtract five balloons, five gifts, and five candles in three illustrated problems. For extra practice, bring in balloons and pop five of them to illustrate subtraction in your classroom.

Introduce subtraction to your kindergartners with a flowery instructional activity! Kids cross out three flowers (out of five, six, and nine), and then write the remainding number in a space for answers. For extra practice, bring real...

Can your first graders count by 1s? What about by 10s? Use this graphic learning exercise to help youngsters visualize place value and counting. They count how many sets of 1s or 10s they see, then they draw a given number of 1s or 10s....

Cuisenaire Rods give learners an excellent strategy as they learn about multiplication. How many ways can they make the same product? Using a target product, learners lay out rods to achieve that number through various...

Study heart health and math in one activity. After measuring their resting heart rates by finding the pulse in their wrists, learners build a stethoscope to listen to their heart rate, and note the differences between the two methods.

Scholars determine distances on the coordinate plane to find areas. The instructional activity begins with a proof of the formula for the area of a parallelogram using the coordinate plane. Pupils use the coordinate plane to determine...

Build upon the knowledge of nets to find the surface area of right prisms. Pupils begin to find the area of right rectangular prisms using the net for the prism. They build upon that knowledge to find a general formula that works for all...

Young geometers identify the location of each icon by naming the ordered pair through a set of 10 winter-themed worksheets. 

Do the two-step and use coordinates to move your graph side to side with translations. By using the coordinates as the guide for the shifts, learners graph straight on the learning exercise and compare their answers with the key. 

This is a comprehensive lesson on creating and solving equations and systems of equations and inequalities. Problems range from basic linear equations to more complex systems of equations and inequalities based on a real-world examples....

Examine ratios and proportions in several real-world scenarios. Children will calculate unit rates, work with proportions and percentages as they plan a party, purchase produce, and take a tally. This lesson plan recommends five...
