Students complete activities to relate numbers to each other. In this number connection lesson, students count number sets, count forward and backward, and complete other number recognition activities to learn how numbers are related.

Learners are given organizing boards and play domino and cube games. These simple games provide fun and practice in categorizing, using dominos and unifix cubes.

First graders measure a plant using unifix cubes and record their measurements on a class chart.

Students connect a number to an appropriate quantity of M&M candies. They identify and use whole numbers.

Fourth graders play a game to determine the likelihoods of different outcomes when rolling two number cubes. Students play a game to determine the likelihoods of different outcomes when rolling two number cubes.

Students connect the numeral to an appropriate quantity of M&M candies.

Students research and design a playground for a park or school in their community. They explore the physics concepts that are present in the design and, if applicable promote their ideas to city or school officials.

Here is an excellent lesson plan for young learners who are just beginning to explore the concept of using units to measure length. They rotate through four classroom centers in order to gain practice in utilizing this important skill.

Students order their classmates from smallest to largest foot length.  In this ordering their classmates from smallest to largest foot length lesson plan, students trace each of their classmates foot.  Students read a story...

Demonstrate several ways to represent data with your class. They will use surveys to gather data and display the data using tally charts and graphs. Then answer questions according to the data.

Second graders conduct an a water cycle experiment. In this water cycle lesson, 2nd graders observe a puddle of water, they predict how it got there and what will happen to it.  Students watch a demonstration on the water cycle and...

Students identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Students cut shapes out of cookie dough and...

Second graders experiment with probability. In this probability lesson, 2nd graders pick colored beans from a bag to find the chance of getting different colors. They make fair and unfair spinners and record the data after spinning...

Third graders explore how barrier islands work. In this erosion instructional activity, 3rd graders create barrier islands in stream tables and simulate wave action to see how it affects their island.

Young scholars compute area.  In this perimeter, area and volume activity, students examine given objects and determine the perimeter, area, and volume of each. 

Upper graders explore the topic of volume. In this math lesson plan, pupils count volume in cubic units, multiply to find volume, estimate volume, write a multiplication sentence to find the volume, and make a cost analysis of different...

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

Your second graders explore two digit addition with regrouping. They will investigate problem solving strategies within the context of a trip to the zoo. Multiple resources and assessments are provided.

Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.

Children play with barnyard animal cards to practice composing and decomposing numbers. With their "secret number" of animal cards in a cup, they shake and spill them onto a barn story board, counting how many animals fall in the barn...

First, second, and third graders explore elapsed time through estimation and prediction. They work with a partner to estimate how long it will take to perform various tasks. One person uses a stop watch to time his or her partner...

It's time to investigate patterns! First and second graders construct a paper weaving using a hundreds chart, then use the Ti-10 calculator to make patterns such as adding 3 each time. Learners remove multiples of three from the hundreds...
