Begin the discussion of domain and range using something familiar. Before introducing numbers, the lesson uses words to explore the idea of input and outputs and addresses the concept of a function along with domain and range. 

Examine how immigrants have changed the environment of the United States. Individually, middle schoolers will take a pre- and post-test to assess their reading comprehension. In groups, they compare and contrast the religions of...

Collaborative groups connect resistors and solar panels in series and measure electrical resistance, voltage, and current. The objective is to order 16 solar panels from strongest to weakest. They graph current-voltage and power curves...

After reading a one-page passage on how to understand and solve distance/rate problems, young mathematicians answer six word problems that have them correctly set up the formula in order to solve for the distnace, rate, or time in the...

Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators can be overwhelming, but in this task, 5th graders work systematically to break down the procedure through three questions. The first two questions ask for pictures to be drawn along...

Is there a difference between culture, race, and ethnicity? In order to celebrate Harmony Day and cultural diversity, your class will brainstorm, discuss, and discover that there is. The class splits into three groups, each group is...

Roll the dice with this activity and teach young mathematicians about probability. Record outcomes for rolling two number cubes in order to determine what is most likely to happen. Graph the data and investigate patterns in the results,...

It won't take young mathematicians long to learn how to measure length with this fun, hands-on activity. Working in pairs, children use Unifix® or snap cubes to measure and record the lengths of different classroom objects. To extend the...

Your learners will take key economic concepts, such as identifying needs versus wants and the four factors of production, and design a video to explain their topic choice to the class. Rather than have one person in charge of dispensing...

Your algebra learners interpret algebraic expressions, in order to compare their structures, using a geometric context. They also discern how the two expressions are equivalent and represent a pattern geometrically and algebraically.

Teach collaboration and communication skills in addition to graphing logarithmic functions. Scholars in different groups graph different logarithmic functions by hand using provided coordinate points. These graphs provide the basis for...

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

The way you use statistics can tell different stories about the same set of data. Here, learners use sets of data to determine which person sends the most text messages. They use random sampling to collect their data and calculate a...

Get to know our galaxy with an astronomy-themed, hands-on activity. Scholars watch an informative video, answer questions, and construct a model of the Milky Way in order to examine its contents and the distance inside it.  

Fourth graders compare and order fractions in a fraction game activity. In this fraction game lesson, 4th graders play a game that requires them to add fractions with like denominators and compare fractions. Students create posters where...

In this mathematics worksheet, students read, write, order and compare fractions and mixed numbers. They identify that there are various strategies for finding fractional parts and use fractions to order and compare amounts or quantities.

In this mathematical worksheet, learners convert fifteen metric units of capacity and multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.

Young scholars explore mathematics by participating in a group activity. For this number value lesson, students identify the uses for decimals and how to best estimate whole numbers based on decimals and fractions. Young scholars...

Students read and complete language arts activities about the International Space Station. In this International Space Station lesson plan, students read about the space station, and complete language arts activities that include...

In this unit students use the traditional tale of the gingerbread man as a context for ordering and comparing lengths. They compare the length of two objects directly, order three or more objects by length and select objects that are...

First graders use an October calendar to trace numbers, trace letters, and identify dates as being in the past, present, and future. In this Social Studies lesson plan, 1st graders label events on the calendar in order to gain deeper...

Learners practice grouping in different ways by putting numbers up to 1,000 in the correct place value. In this place value lesson plan, students estimate items in a jar and then count them out by grouping them by 10s.

Learners predict outcomes of a text. For this comprehension strategy lesson, students read a poem and compare it to the play A Raisin in the Sun. Learners discuss their similarities and the power of dreams.

For this interpreting information using a table worksheet, students read the U.S. Municipalities Census table to answer questions. Students answer 9 questions.
