Students explore inequalities. In this Algebra I lesson, students solve and graph linear inequalities involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  Students use inequalities to solve and graph real-world problems.

In this mixed numbers worksheet, students write mixed numbers that are represented by number lines, decimals, and hundreds blocks. Students complete 3 problems.

Students construct a book to illustrate number concepts. They write their numbers on a sheet of paper. Students in grade 1 discuss counting to 100 by different numbers. Pupils in grades (2-4) write basic addition or subtraction story...

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Seventh graders create a graph of their Christmas gifts. They develop categories, compute fractional and decimal parts for each category, identify the number of degrees to represent each fractional part, and create a circle graph to...

Young scholars explore the concept of adding integers.  In this adding integers lesson, students simulate the battle of the 300 spartans at Thermopylae.  Young scholars use colored game pieces to represent positive and negative...

Students receive 10 M & M's to study about fractions. As a class, they divide the ten M & M's into a half. They then take away two and use the eight M & M's to study about fourths. They also use nine to study about thirds.

Pupils complete a worksheet using M & M's to calculate percentages. They are given demonstrations by the teacher to know how to complete the activity.

Seventh graders identify rational and irrational numbers and then, estimate the square root of numbers that are not perfect squares. They then identify what the radical is and differentiate between that and a division symbol clearly....

Students solve algebraic proportions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They solve problems using the distributive property.

Learners identify nouns, adjectives, and verbs from the newspaper. They create a math story problem, then create a comic strip using dialogue from words found in the newspaper.

Fourth graders explore fractions. They use Skittles and M&M's to practice adding and subtracting fractions. Students review the numerator and the denominator of fractions. They count the number of each color of Skittles and M&M's...

Students examine a problem and develop the best method to arrive at the solution. In this math instructional activity, students apply basic math skills by coming up with the correct steps to solve a word problem. ...

Sixth graders translate sports vocabulary words from English to Spanish and complete money problems containing decimals. In this money and sports lesson plan, 6th graders use words to communicate to each other.

Fourth graders compare fractions by using skittles and m&ms. In this math lesson, 4th graders explore the size of different fractions by cutting pieces of their pie for visual representation. Additionally, students discuss ways to...

Sixth graders investigate the cost of throwing a party.  In this cost of throwing a party lesson, 6th graders have to throw a going away party for 2 exchange students given a $350 budget.  Students work in groups to determine...

Learners begin the lesson by discovering that a fraction is one part of a whole. In groups, they practice reducting larger fractions into small fractions and discovering they are equal. They use blocks to identify the relationship...

  Students practice measurement.  In this fractions lesson, 6th graders measure volume of a liquid, e.g. 1/5 liter, and learn the vocabulary of fractions (numerator, denominator). Students solve sample problems in small...

Sixth graders practice using negative numbers by completing number equations.  In this math problem solving lesson, 6th graders discuss the different ways negative numbers can be used in a math problem and practice completing...

Third graders are shown an alternative method of determining the lowest common denominator of two or more unequal denominators. They complete a worksheet.

Young scholars investigate water usage at school and at home. They use graphs and tables to evaluate water usage. Students describe possible water conservation measures. They use graphs and tables to relate data as part of a written report.

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 choose the correct strategy to solve multiplication and division. In this algorithm lesson, students use at least two strategies that use properties of operations and estimation. Students also recognize the relationship between...

Learners use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.
