Sixth graders identify and replicate two dimensional illustrations of three dimensional objects. In this spatial visualization lesson, 6th graders practice viewing objects from various sides. Student participate in stations to view...

Students create a scale model of a motor neuron that is two hundred times larger than the actual neuron. They identify the structures of a neuron and observe neurons under the microscope then use a worksheet to convert actual sizes into...

Young scholars explore modes for addition.  In this K-2 mathematics lesson, students investigate the four models of addition (counting, sets, number line, and balanced equations) using dominoes.  Young scholars examine the...

Third graders use fractions manipulatives to explore fractions.  In this fraction lesson, 3rd graders work in groups based on skill to increase understanding of fractions.  Students create fraction books.

Students create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.

Students create posters about geometric shapes in order to demonstrate their understanding of the different shapes. Students look for pictures in magazines to represent two-dimensional shapes, paste them on a poster, label the shape,...

Students take a survey then use the information gained from the survey to help plan a typical Thanksgiving dinner for our last day of class. They create a graph which corresponds the the data gathered during interviews.

Sixth grade students: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Fifth graders measure their body height and the height they can jump. They use these measurements in forms of ratios, fractions and decimals to describe their Springy Legs Factors (SLF). Students compare their SLFs to other people's...

Students study basic recursion by exploring patterns in the data they generate from two simple probability-based experiments. In the first, students flip a coin to discover how many times they must flip it before it lands on "heads."...

Fifth graders practice using the English measuring system by creating fractions.  For this parts of a whole lesson, 5th graders combine math key bars to simulate small parts of a bigger item.  Students combine the pieces to...

Students design a cafeteria floor plan. In this area and perimeter lesson, groups create an efficient lunchroom layout on poster board by using geometric shapes and formulas as the basis for their designs. In the accompanying writing...

Second graders count by 2's to get to 100. For this counting lesson plan, 2nd graders use the program Kid Pix to create stamps two at a time until they get to 100.

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

Learners collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics instructional activity, students measure the heart beat of a person as they listen to music. They use the CBL and TI to create a graph, analyzing the outcome.

Fifth graders arrange the classroom using all the moveable objects and through the exploration of area and perimeter. They determine the area of the classroom, create and label model pieces of furniture using graph paper, and create a...

Students define the boundaries of their community by comparing the community's official boundaries with other historical, political, physical, and perceived boundaries of the area and create a community map.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students recognize the importance of slope. They use blocks to model the slope of a line and calculate the slope of a line on a coordinate grid. Afterward, they describe objects they encounter in their everyday lives that have slopes.

Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. For this gravity lesson, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2 objects.

Students create arrays using Microsoft Excel. In this technology-based math lesson, students expand their knowledge of multiplication by creating arrays on the computer using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel.

In this closure activity for square numbers worksheet, 9th graders evaluate if numbers are square numbers by determining if it can be modeled by a square (the shape) for 13 tasks.

Students explore art history by conducting an in-class activity. For this sculpting lesson, students examine previously created art sculptures in a textbook. Students utilize clay, sculpting tools and grey paper to create their own...
