Young learners listen to a read aloud of Gail Gibbons book, Apples and the story A Red House With No Windows and No Doors. They compare characteristics of a number of kinds of apples, graph them and create a apple print picture. Learners...

Kindergarteners arrange manipulatives or everyday objects in groups of one through five. They identify groups seen in pictures of nature and compare same numbers of different objects.

Students explore the differences between man-made and natural objects. In this lesson designed to compare properties of objects, students differentiate between natural and man-made objects and complete an activity designed to show what...

Explore parametric equations in this lesson, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path of objects in...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

How are skyscrapers built? What does it take to make a structurally sound building? How can one work within a budget to complete a building project? These guiding questions will be investigated and answered within a hands-on lesson....

Budding mathematicians explore the concept of skip counting. They practice skip counting as they use it to determine the number of wheels that come to school at 3 different times throughout the day. They also create a data graph to show...

Let's use Fruit Loops to teach counting skills! Students practice counting one-to-one correspondence using Fruit Loops with a partner and then compare them to see who has more or less.

Math pupils, by viewing a video, discover the history of pi and some of the applications of its uses in the world today. They conduct an experiment by measuring the diameter and circumference of various circular objects to calculate...

Eighth graders explain the relationship between the position of the sun, a city's latitude and shadow length. Ratio's, geometry, and algebra are used to determine the shadow lengths and building heights. A sun angle (altitude) charts to...

Put the better archer in a box. The performance task has pupils compare the performance of two archers using box-and-whisker plots. The resource includes sample responses that are useful in comparing individuals' work to others.

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

Students graph linear http://www.lessonplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving lesson, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon, students...

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

Pupils will analyze scales as related to models and real life in this geometry lesson. They work together to compare the dimensions on a model as compared to the real building.

Young scholars compare the differences in catching four different pieces of equipment. They, in groups, practice catching the items, and discuss which one was the easiest and hardest to catch, and graph their results.

The students compare themselves and their shadows to various objects big and small. Students use their data to set up proportions to solve.

Second graders use a meter tape to compare the length of the Mayflower to a basketball court and make homemade butter for crackers. Afterward, all students sit inside the makeshift Mayflower's dimensions and enjoy their Pilgrim butter.

Children begin by making direct comparisons between objects and putting a number of objects into order according to length. They are also introduced to measuring with multi-link cubes which allows them to compare objects which cannot be...

Students brainstorm words that describe the weight of objects. They pick up objects and estimate the weight. Afterward, students find the exact weight and compare U.S. units of weight to metric units. In groups, students create a chart...

Students identify the length of an inch. In this measurement activity, students read Inch by Inch and predict how many inches long various objects are. Students practice measuring the objects by using an inch ruler.

Students learn how to measure length using inch units.  In this measurement lesson, students use two different units of measure to measure the length of a Leopard Shark and then use pattern blocks to measure its length. ...

Students graph the varying sizes of dinosaurs.  In this math and dinosaur lesson plan, students view dinosaur models and compare the different shapes and sizes of the dinosaurs.  Students complete a dinosaur math activity, read...
