First graders research what kind of coverings living organisms have, and where those organisms live before they can understand how to group them. The following activities will precede the "animal groups" centers, and therefore allow them...

Students discover the history of America by identifying the traditional colonies.  In this U.S. history lesson, students examine a world map and identify where the voyagers left from Europe to arrive at the United States. ...

High schoolers engage in a lesson that focuses on analytic geometry. The lesson asked them to apply skills of relating equations when plotting them on the coordinate plane. Students construct the equations using specific criteria and...

Learners differentiate the pros and cons of different areas. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different sizes based on their area. They put an image to the size of a shape.

Students solve problems using the law of sines.  In this sines lesson, students work in groups and individually to solve problems using the law of sines.  They identify real life problems that require the use of the law of...

Ninth graders investigate quadrilaterals.  In this geometry lesson, 9th graders examine and classify quadrilaterals using the slope, midpoint and distance formulas.  Additionally, students create various quadrilaterals given...

Students apply problem solving procedures and skills to solve a given real life problem by manipulating felt squares to represent the possible combinations for a two color quilt.

Ninth graders identify quadrilaterals and label the vertices of quadrilaterals. they justify their identification of the quadrilaterals. Students work in groups to identify and create quadrilaterals

Fourth graders implement real life application of money, problem solving, economics, and consumer awareness.  In this three week economics unit, 4th graders operate a business, write checks, balance accounts, and market their...

Learners research percentages in real world situations. In this percents lesson, students demonstrate their ability to apply percents to everyday situations. Learners communicate mathematically by conducting interviews about percents and...

Students make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

Students represent equivalent amounts using concrete materials, number symbols, and number words.

Students make sequential patterns by using ants and following the model. They identify different parts of an ant by matching the picture to the word name. Pupils identify the ant's life cycle by creating a chart using pictures.

Students find real-world examples of a variety of geometric shapes. They conduct research, record observations, and write descriptions. They create a classroom cityscape and highlight the information they gathered. They present an oral...

Students solve problems using various strategies. In this problem solving lesson, students read the book Swimmy by Leo Lionni. Students make fish swimming patterns, measure how many goldfish crackers it takes to make a handprint and...

Young scholars analyze data and graph the results of their surveys. In this statistics lesson plan, students create graphs using excel to make graphs to be able to better observe their data. They conclude how great we as unique individuals.

Learners examine the role of signal corps during the Civil War and explore the technique of 'wigwag.' In this Civil War lesson, students discuss the way they communicate long distance today, they research how a civil war soldier...

Sixth graders create word problems. For this sixth grade mathematics lesson, 6th graders use digital cameras to photograph interesting events around school and create word problems for their photographs that address the key concepts...

Sixth graders practice determining mean, median, mode, and range using individual mileage logs. They convert miles to kilometers and graph their results.

First graders practice nonstandard measurement and estimating and measuring lengths of objects.

Young scholars investigate the accumulation of drugs in the body. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on drug retention and assimilation. They use their data to predict the behavior and effects of drugs.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot it to create a linear function. They identify the domain and range of each line.

In this renewable energy worksheet, students put an X on their opinion on the energy source that will help the Earth's problems. Students have 5 energy sources to choose from and then complete math problems based on the results.

Student explore cancer, its causes, and various types. Students research compare/contrast a health cell to a cancer cell. They compare treatments available for childhood cancers.
