Budding mathematicians investigate how to write number sentences using the Roll-the-Dice tool in "Kid Pix". They correlate the dots on the dice to numbers and then learn to use the addition and equal symbols to write number sentences....

Investigate relationships between angles, arcs, and segments in circles. Pupils use geometry software to discover the relationships between angles, arcs, and segments associated with circles. Class members use similar triangles to...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Explore with your class the characteristics of acute, obtuse, right, complementary, and supplementary angles. They take digital photographs around the school and identify the angles in the images. Uisng software, they label and...

Requiring more than one class period, this resource takes earth science learners on a journey through a watershed. Using ArcGIS Explorer, an online geographic information system, they view maps of watersheds and surrounding landscapes....

Judy Clocks are a great invention. Here, learners review telling time to hour and half hour on Judy clocks, begin telling time to quarter hour, use clock stamps to practice, and play computer games using Trudy's Time and Place House...

Pairs use desktop publishing software, as well as digital video and camera equipment, to craft a book review. These reviews are then shared with others in the school community through the class or school website.

Get your learners interested in space exploration. Groups design space rovers using design software and then build prototypes of their designs. The farther the rovers can travel, the better. The catch? The rovers must be powered by...

Scientists monitor seasonal changes in plants to better understand their responses to climate change, in turn allowing them to make predictions regarding the future. The last activity in the series of six has scholars analyze BudBurst...

Your statisticians examine the characteristics of conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous independent events. They perform computer activities to find probabilities for simple compound events. They examine the...

If a random sample determines that 45% of students favor block scheduling, is it possible that the actual percentage might be 50% or 60%? In this task, learners use data from a computer-generated simulation to determine the plausibility...

Help your young mathematicians master three-digit place value with a hands-on activity that builds on their social orientation. They create a place value house from construction paper and sort "number friends" according to which house...

Here is a good lesson plan on butterflies and caterpillars. After listening to The Very Hungry Caterpillar, young learners put cards that depict the life cycle of a butterfly in the correct order. There are some good ideas for center...

Use pictures and manipulatives to develop vocabulary with your beginning language learners. This plan can be used with foreign language learners (although you'll have to provide the vocabulary), English language learners, or a young...

Students edit written work about a fashion show.  In this fashion show lesson plan, students write a presentation piece and works in groups of 4,6, or 8 to edit what they have written.  Students rehearse by pair sharing and...

Students practice doubling the numbers one through five while viewing a projected computer activity using MathKeys software. They stamp numbers onto an activity sheet that corresponds to the number of objects on the screen and then write...

Students go through various construction techniques needed to bisect angles, lines and arcs, construct a perpendicular from a vertex to a line, construct the center of a circle, transfer an angle, and various other constructions normally...

Learners work with computers and use the Alice software.  In this computer lesson students learn how to use the Alice program. 

Students study basic computer programming and the work of software engineers.  In this creative lesson students create their own software game.

Pupils, with a partner, examine the relationship of fractions to whole numbers through the use of Fraction Pizza software by Panasonic.

Students explore spreadsheet software.  In this personal finance and computer technology lesson, students develop a vacation spreadsheet on the computer.  Students represent hotel, food, transportation, and entertainment costs...

Pupils create a three-five minute presentation that visually illustrates major aspects of the their lives. Using Movie Works software as a base, they integrate video, photography, artwork, graphic elements, and sound to produce the product.

Students construct a four sentence creative story by using KidPix software. In this computer technology lesson plan, students use KidPix software to develop slides about themselves, their family, and their house. Students illustrate...

Students explore animal characteristics by participating in a SMART board activity. In this animal classification lesson, students utilize a sorting chart to divide different animal names by their observable characteristics. Students...
