Learners divide a poster board so everyone gets the same amount of area to decorate. Youngsters talk about the different ways to divide a rectangle. They measure their lines to make sure that each piece is equal and then decorate their...

Fifth graders show percentages on a 10 x 10 grid. In this percentages lesson plan, 5th graders color in the squares to show a percent.

Third graders prepare for a trip to view marine life. In this science lesson plan, 3rd graders assemble a picture of a Humpback whale on a grid.

Using a Smart Board, or a plain ol' white board or chalkboard, the teacher pulls up a grid and demonstrates how squares and rectangles can be divided up into equal parts. The class will get their own graph paper to draw shapes and divide...

Junior archaeologists examine types of artifacts from the Bronze Age on the internet. In collaborative groups, they create a story about a ship from this period and then construct a model of the ocean floor after their ship has sunk....

Here is a unique and innovative game which will help your charges learn the important skill of proofreading and editing their own writing. The class is divided up into groups, and each group uses actual samples of writing from students...

Examine the importance of sequence and series through contextual situations. Here, learners partake in a five-day unit that begins with the basics of arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. As it progresses, pupils apply the...

Identifying the location of ordered pairs on coordinate planes is the focus in the math lesson presented here. In it, 4th graders are introduced to coordinate pairs, the x/y axis, and the techniques associated with this type of graphing....

Ordered pairs, the x and y-axis - sounds like it's time to introduce learners to the plotting points on a graph! This presentation is great as it introduces the concept, provides an example of how to use a coordinate plane, and then...

Students investigate shipwrecks. In this marine archaeology lesson ,students collect data and make inferences about the causes of shipwrecks. Students work in groups to create their own model of a shipwreck using clay. Students then...

As part of their English grammar study, language learners engage in the games, exercises, and activities found in a 13-page packet that focuses on pronouns.

There are more than 600,000 asteroids in our solar system. Pupils analyze images of two asteroids in order to determine if they are the same age. They count craters for each asteroid and compare numbers. 

Learners determine how marine archaeologists use historical and archaeological data to draw inferences about shipwrecks. Students plot the position of a shipwrecked vessel, and draw inferences about the shipwreck from artifacts that have...

Did you know scientists can tell the age of an asteroid by looking closely at its craters? This final lesson of a six-part series focuses on two asteroids, Gaspra and Ida, in order to demonstrate the concept of dating asteroids. Scholars...

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...

In this Geoboard House worksheet, students copy a drawing of a house made on grid paper. Students may also create the shape using a geo board and rubber bands.

Students examine the variety of materials an artist uses when drawing and consider the impact of the material choice. In this art analysis instructional activity, students consider the different materials used to make various drawings....

Pupils explore measurements of a circle. In this lesson about circumference and radius, students practice calculating measurements of a circle. Pupils estimate, calculate, and practice with graphing all while learning how to find...

Students use a Factor Board game to identify the properties of prime, composite, abundant, deficient and perfect numbers. The game is comprised of the numbers from 1 to 30 placed in a 5 by 6 grid. Pupils figure out they can score more...

Students discuss and list the various ways to conduct a job search. In groups, students review the classified ads and decide on a number of jobs that appear interesting and for which they are well qualified. This lesson is intended for...

Plumb the depths of the Submarine Ring of Fire and explore seismic waves with this lesson. Junior geologists simulate s-waves and p-waves, calculate their speeds, and then apply the data to discover the material that makes up inner...

High schoolers explore how marine archaeologists use data to draw inferences about shipwrecks.  For this marine archeology lesson students plot the position of a vessel, draw inferences about a shipwreck and explain the possible...

Students examine the effect of the various ice ages on Wisconsin. In groups, they create a map representing the five geographic regions of Wisconsin. They must write out a description of each region to be placed on a poster board. ...

Students analyze problem solving techniques for equations with variables by playing a game called "Smackdown". They place variable cards on a grid and use the area model to calculate an answer after spinning a game piece to determine the...
