Eighth graders compare whole numbers and decimals. They use symbols for <, >, =, and order whole numbers and decimals. They practice the meaning of positive and nugative integers by using them to describe real-world situations.

Students use a shoe box to create a seafloor model and use cardboard for layering inside of the shoe box to simulate the ocean floor. They probe the ocean floor to simulate sonar echoes. Finally, students graph their data to get a...

Students observe liquids in different containers and then explore the concept that liquids have level surfaces. They identify those who are not at the center to reinforce the concept of liquid levels with a representational puzzle and...

Young scholars ask their classmates survey questions. In this survey lesson plan, students come up with a question and possible answers. Their classmates mark their answers and the class discusses what they notice. 

Students create counting books. In this counting book lesson, students make their own book which counts on each page and has a corresponding picture. These books can count by 1's, 2's, 5's, or even fractions. 

Second graders use empty pizza boxes and pattern blocks to create a Save and Rave Box, which is a 3-D portfolio.

Students investigate probability using coins and dice. They collect data, graph, organize and interpret data. They predict, describe, compare, compute and draw conclusions based on what they observe and record.

Pupils participate in monthly scaffolded lessons that focus on working with whole numbers from 1 to 10. They work with tiles on exploration mats, number tile mats, and a number representation book. Each month they complete activities...

In this metric system worksheet, students fill out a flip book based on the metric system. Students complete 6 pages in the flip book.

Third graders identify and practice sewing a dashed line in an arch shape. They identify with five new facts about quilts, women, and the community of Gee's Bend. Finally, 3rd graders complete the quilt top, batting and backing together.

Students practice collecting and graphing data using interlocking cubes. In this graphing activity, partners count cubes and graph them. They also use a meter stick to measure arm span and height then compare the results with the class...

Young scholars use basic materials to create four simple machines. In this introduction to simple machines lesson plan, students are given four different scenarios that require a simple machine in order to solve. The young scholars use...

Students create graphs of circles. In this geometry lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to create graphs. They construct the graphs using paper and pencil as well as the computer.

Students create their own counting book and brainstorm ideas with each other for a concept. In this counting lesson plan, students first read books such as Ten by Keith Haring.

Eighth graders explore and demonstrate the seven steps of the scientific method. They predict how much sugar is in chewing gum and test, analyze, and calculate the sugar content of gum.

Students create graphs and tables, as well as interpret and make inferences from the data shown to determine when and where graphs and tables are most useful.

Students use reference skills to locate information about the periodic table. They identify elements by name, atomic number, atomic mass, symbol and properties. Students use mathematical processes to find the number of protons,electrons...

Fourth graders explore several different types of graphs using M & Ms.

Students explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.

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