Students solve equations with variables on both sides. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They graph their solution on a coordinate plane.

Fifth graders explore how people handle remainders in real life. In this remainders math lesson, 5th graders participate in skits to show what to do with remainders. Students complete worksheets with word problems.

Practice place value skills with this lesson. Learners put numbers in order from greatest to least, identify the values of particular numbers, and engage in an activity to compare numbers using manipulatives.

Students use a given spreadsheet to investigate an iterative process by changing the variables. They design their own spreadsheet to investigate the iterative process.

Fifth graders convert kilometers to miles and calculate the range that historical aircraft can travel. They choose destinations by distance that can be traveled without refueling.

Fourth graders discover that a polygon is a closed figure formed by line segments, and that the perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain lots of practice with...

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

Students investigate ratios of various objects.  For this ratios of various objects lesson, students draw pictures on graph paper and then dilate or shrink the image.  Students determine the ratio of their pictures. ...
