Sixth graders convert metric units of measurement. Classmates observe the use of a mnemonic for conversions. In groups, 6th graders practice converting metric units. They use a chart to describe how to convert between metric units of...

Sixth graders investigate the concept of prime and composite numbers. They use a review of multiplication to help explain factoring. Students are taught the definition of a prime and composite number and then practice independently.

Sixth graders use ratios to solve unit problems. Pupils write ratios in three different ways. In groups, they perform a bean activity, find ratios, and write them in simplest form.

Sixth graders engage in a lesson that explores the conversion process of fractions, decimals, and percents in relationship to their values to each other. Students demonstrate how to convert numbers interchangeably between fractions,...

Fifth graders investigate the concepts of composite and prime numbers. They factor different numbers and determine the number of factors for each. Based upon this information the number is declared prime or composite.

Eighth graders investigate the order of numbers and how they are located on the number line. They also review the symbols used to compare quantities in order to decipher simple expressions and graph them on the numberline.

Eighth graders investigate a lesson using the Order of Operations. The lesson has good instructions to carry out the lesson. The language is user-friendly for the average educator. They also use a Math writing journal to integrate...

Eighth graders explore sequences. They discuss the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric pattern. Students participate in workstation activities where they determine arithmetic or geometric patterns and predict the...

Eighth graders investigate concepts related to fractions. This includes adding, subtracting, and reducing. There is a creative worksheet that has them creating their own ice cream sundaes using fractions.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts and combining them into polynomials. The teacher uses direct instruction for delivery. They can use Algebra to make this activity hands-on for the benefit of kinesthetic learners.

Seventh graders review the concept of finding the areas of a rectangle. This lesson uses the classroom as a real life application for the formula of area. They measure classroom in order to compute the area.

Sixth graders practice graphing coordinates. For this geometry lesson, they use the x and y axis to locate points that must be connected in the right sequence to form a straight line.

Pupils participate in a lesson that is concerned with the solving of multiple step equations and inequalities. The use of algebra tiles translates the information well for the kinesthetic learners. Then the skills are used to solve the...

Students investigate the concept of manipulating polynomials. They go through the process of using algebra tiles in order to practice grouping of like terms and model the solving process.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson plan that covers the reading and interpretation of a circle graph. They review the part of a whole concept for percents and student observe and practice using the circle graph.

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson plan that covers the Rules of Divisibility. They play a game for a warm-up before the direct instruction. Following the rules being covered they finish the lesson plan using an assignment included in...

Sixth graders explore the use of shapes to create geometric patterns. they start with a simple example of dividing shapes in half to create two new ones. This can be extended to creating intricate patterns.

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

Students research prime and composite numbers. With a partner, students use graph paper to draw rectangles of various sizes. They list the dimensions of rectangles and discuss how the dimensions relate to the factors of each number....

Students investigate linear inequalities and the associated symbols. After a teacher demonstration, they translate given phrases into symbols. Students solve and graph solutions to linear inequalities. Using newspapers, they locate...

Seventh graders practice using the Order of Operations to simplify algebraic expressions. They start with some basic operations and move into gradual harder problems to bring to the level of mastery.

Seventh graders translate word sentences to algebraic expressions. In groups of three, 7th graders determine the number of times their heart beats in fifteen seconds. Using this data, they calculate the heartbeats per minute, in five...

Seventh graders explore the concept of the slope of a line. They see how to determine the direction of the line. Also students are introduced to the slope intercept algebraic expression in conjunction with the rise/run.
