Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

Students research principles of flight. They design their own paper airplanes and make predictions about the performance of different designs. Students keep track of their findings in an electronic journal.

Students explore geometric shapes.  In this kindergarten geometry lesson, students create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares that when assembled form a scarecrow, a pumpkin, and a crow. ...

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Students engage in a study of measuring distances between geographical locations on a map. They are able to define and use the map scale in conjunction with the metric system. For this lesson they make their own maps and measure the...

Sixth graders work with mathematical expressions by interpreting, analyzing and problem solving with them. In this two step algebraic problem solving lesson plan, 6th graders use algebra tiles to solve equations.

Students use E-STAT to examine demographics. In this social demographics lesson plan, students use statistical data to determine if a particular family is in need of assistance. Students will discuss social and educational policies and...

First graders conduct an experiment. In this density lesson, 1st graders work in groups to test 10 different objects to see which ones sink and float. Students discuss why certain objects float and others do not.

Students discover the three elements of art. In this visual arts lesson, students examine line, shape, and color of works by Torres-Garcia and Picasso. Students then identify the elements of art in works by other artists.

Students investigate the interior angles of a triangle. For this geometry lesson, students create the formula to calculate the angles inside a triangle. They observe the total sum of a triangles angle on the navigator.

Students explore how to handle criticism in the work place. In this conflict resolution lesson, students examine how criticism deters assertive behavior and role-play on how to respond to criticism in the work place.

Second graders investigate the physical properties of cantaloupe using their senses. In this life science lesson, 2nd graders estimate the weight of their sample. They get it's actual weight and compare it with their estimate.

Students determine the density of different substances. In this physical science lesson plan, students rank them according to their density. They discover the relationship between volume and density.

Explore division by modeling problems and grouping with manipulatives. This video focuses on dividing whole numbers by unit fractions and modeling the problems with unit blocks.

Visualize solutions to multi-digit division problems by modeling them with virtual manipulatives. This interactive exercise focuses on calculating quotients by working with area models and visualizing the distributive property of division.

The lesson will help students develop an initial understanding of division and clarify how the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division relate to and are separate from each other. The lesson begins with a...

This resource consists of a detailed, hands-on lesson plan for dividing fractions using manipulatives such as fraction bars.

Just like multiplication, addition, and subtraction, division problems involve patterns and there are methodical ways in which manipulatives can be used to solve division problems with small dividends and divisors of 1 through 10.

This tutorial on signed numbers features lesson plans, practice pages, examples, application problems, and interactive work. Teacher resources include overhead manipulatives, card games, a Bingo game, and graphing calculator downloads.

Cyberchase video clip in which Bianca, who is babysitting, must take two girls trick-or-treating on Halloween. Students are asked to determine how the two girls will split their candy equally between the three of them. [3:27]
