Students identify the numbers 1-10 while listening to a counting song. They practice counting items using the numbers 1-10.

Second graders explore estimation and rounding concepts using goldfish crackers and a song! They solve problems by estimating and rounding numbers and pick numbers within reason to represent certain objects.

Students use non-standard measurement tools such as body parts, beans and counters to find the area of shapes drawn on the floor. They continue to determine the area of other objects in the classroom.

Second graders read the book, "Just a Little Bit" and work in groups weighing the same object with a scale. They then get a different unit of measurement, like paper clips, cotton balls, washers, or pennies and then figure out and record...

Pupils play a game with coins and then use reasoning skills to develop a strategy for winning the game.

Students use the lesson, "Squirt", to support students' development of multiplicative thinking. Squirt encourages students to anticipate multiplicative measurement relationships, e.g. three measures of A fit in B, by partially filling a...

Students identify and label parts of a plant. They will construct a plant from art material and describe the purpose of each part for the plants survival. Students author a book with pictures and words or a story about a plant.

Students practice identifying the letters in the alphabet. They use this activity in phyical education class and run to each letter when they identify it correctly. They also state the name of different objects throughout the room.

Learners understand and reinforce how numbers are assigned to objects, as well as think about more, less, or equal values. In this lesson, students are asked to describe, compare, and classify plants. They should be able to use numbers...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the standard of comparing the quantities of whole numbers using different strategies from the concrete to the abstract. They count objects and compare them, use symbols of comparison,...

Learners role play bartering for goods and services as the French settlers did in colonial Illinois. They start with eight household items to acquire through bartering. They have to calculate values for each object and determine the...

Second graders are introduced to arrays as a means for multiplication readiness. Once students are comfortable with naming the array by counting the columns and rows, they integrate skip counting.

Fifth graders experiment to discover how many paper clips different types of magnets can pick up. They make predictions, carry out the experiment and collate the data.

Young scholars determine the area of two objects by superimposing one on the other. They compare and order the area of different shapes by covering a larger shape with similar smaller ones. They complete these activities as different...

Second graders, in order to recognize symmetrical objects, cut a symmetrical object of their choosing out of construction paper and proceed with the step by step instructions from the teacher. After working on worksheet problems, they...

Students evaluate each other's fossil imprints and they try to identify the original object. They comprehend the importance of accuracy in identifying a fossil imprint. Students create an answer sheet that has space for the names of the...

Students discover how to measure in one and two dimensional space and calculate how much space any object of a given dimension occupies. After a discussion about dimensions, students work with Zome System Creator Kits to build one and...

First graders explore measurement in relation to size of objects.

Students identify mean using concrete objects.

Second graders explore graphing. They count the number of pockets on their clothes and use Microsoft Excel to enter their data. Students create a class graph displaying their findings.

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...

Students line themselves up from smallest to tallest at the chalkboard with the teacher marking their heights. After recording their names on the board next to their mark, they work with a partner to measure their height using several...

Students identify how many resources are used to produce an item and why each resource is so important. They examine their own use of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources.

Second graders use hula hoops to represent the zero as they count objects into ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. They complete an activity to after they have practiced counting objects.
