Fourth graders use colored beads in two problems and explore the use of proportional reasoning as a problem solving method. Working Students, in groups, explain their reasoning strategies orally, and through drawings.

Young scholars are introduced to the problem. They brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. Students work on the problem in pairs to discover what strategies might help to find the answer.

Seventh graders discover that there are multiple strategies to be used in problem solving. They explain a problem solving situation in their own words and determine a possible strategy for solving the problem.

Learners study the meaning, symbolism, and value of U.S. coins, especially the quarter. They conduct a survey of coins in students' possession, graphing the results to show frequency distribution and drawing inferences about the U.S....

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Learners explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations lesson, students construct an equilateral triangle and a square with a circumscribed circle. Learners reflect and rotate their constructions.

Students are introduced to the function and design of the following Lego pieces: beams, bricks, plates, axles, tires, hubs and bushings. They then work with a partner to build something using only these pieces.

Pupils complete a variety of bear-related activities. They sort and graph teddy bears, distinguish between real and non-real bears and research bear life cycles and habitats.

Students integrate the language, concepts and skills of math into the daily routine and classroom environment. They think mathematically by participating in short, daily, individual, small group, whole group and transitional activities...

Young scholars do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.

Students explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry activity, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Students use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines of symmetry...

Students practice simple addition and subtraction. They identify relationships among whole numbers.

Students utilize LEGO's to replace cards for a game that replicates "Go Fish".

Second graders solve a math word problem involving the addition of two digit numbers. They discuss the problem as a class, independently explore the problem, and discuss as a class the solution and how they organized their reversed...

Students explain face, place and total value of numbers as well as solve three-digit subtraction problems. Before trying answer the problem Students must be able to examine that the same digit is used to represent different amounts.

In this fractions learning exercise, students read an instruction sheet on the procedure for multiplying simple fractions. All steps are illustrated. There are no problems to solve.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students write and solve algebraic equations that model verbal situations. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional...

On this interactive website, students practice various math skills using a real-life scenario at a fashion store. Those skills include creating number patterns, making a number sentence to represent a word problem, and making a table of...

Teachers can assess students' knowledge of analyzing patterns and relationships with these printable worksheets. You can even create your own worksheet or flashcards.

Explroe geometric patterns with this step by step interactive lesson.

Create a melodic pattern with this interactive pattern player and listen to funky patterns that are already created.

During this lesson plan, the learners will use growing patterns to develop an algebraic expression with understanding. The students will also learn mathematical vocabulary with the use of the newly created expression.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flipchart, students investigate patterns and sequences used in constructing various shapes using match sticks. Students then develop their introductory algebraic sense by determining the formula...
