Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

Young mathematicians collect data and graph it. They work collaboratively to collect data regarding the span of arm length versus height and graph the data they collect.

Students collect data about their class and they use Excel spreadsheet to display their tables and graphs about the class. They answer survey questions and collect their data. Students create a graph of their choice to display the...

Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.

Intended for a faith-based classroom, this lesson requires second graders to create a survey, conduct the survey in multiple classrooms, and graph the results. They can choose between creating a picture or bar graph, or you can require...

Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation lesson. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your young scholars.

Students input data about the colors of their serving of M&M candies onto a spreadsheet. They create charts and graphs based on this information.

Seventh graders apply their prior knowledge of the Principle of Balance to create a paper mola. Students examine a variety of molas, which are fabric works of art made by women in the country of Panama. To arrange the composition of the...

Students describe geometric figures. They create pictures and list each shape they used to create their pictures. They discuss the importance of shapes in their lives and create ten different geometric shapes using the Drawing tools in...

Students explore the numbers one through five. Over a three week period, students visit centers in the room to investigate and perform hands-on activities with numbers. They trace numbers, write numbers in shaving cream, count objects,...

Learners calculate equivalent fractions, solve the addition of fractions of like and unlike denominators, and compare fractions using fraction strips. They fold paper strips into equal parts, thirds, sixths, ninths, and twelfths, and...

Students discuss budgets. In this mathematics lesson plan, students watch an episode of Biz Kid$ about budgeting, participate in a guided group discussion, and create a pamphlet to teach others how to budget their money. Extension...

Learners brainstorm for a survey question to ask classmates. They survey their classmates. They enter the results into a spreadsheet and create the best graph for the information. They share their graphs with the class.

Geometric shapes are really cool. Examine triangles, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, pentagons, and hexagons with your class. They draw large shapes and small shapes then compare them to understand their shapely...

Students discuss income and expenses. In this lesson on money, students define income and expenses, after whith they keep track of their income and expense transactions on a basic ledger.

Children enjoy playing with silly putty, but it provides more than just fun. Young scientists make their own silly putty using different recipes. After a bit of fun, they test and graph the viscosity of each.

A comprehensive resource gets fourth grade physical scientists making observations about the period of a pendulum and then applying knowledge to a playground swing. Through seven different stations, they will record observations and...

Ecology candidates culture pond water organisms over a few days time, then they experiment to find out how increasing nutrients affects the population. As part of a unit on water, this exploration gives your class an understanding of how...

Students play a variation of the Concentration game to practice math skills matching numbers with visual pictures. They have 20 cards, ten with pictures of items drawn on them. They other ten are numbered. They try to match correct pairs.

Students practice figuring out how items have been sorted. They also sort buttons in small cooperative groups. They color and sort their own paper buttons and then give their button sort to another student to see if he or she can figure...

Students create pairs of cards with numbers and pictures. Encourage students to use a different color to represent each number/picture pair; this help them with visual association in the "Concentration" game.

Students explore math and art concepts, create digital art examples of the concepts, and incorporate these works into a PowerPoint portfolio with explanation and analysis.

Learners participate in an activity that reinforces their counting skills and the relationships between numbers, utilizing the concepts of more and fewer. They read in their Math Storybook's about geese at a fair and how those geese are...

Second graders were given a research paper and they were to answer the questions using the information found on the website. The website was a dictionary where the students would click on the letter to where they would go to find the...
