Fifth graders investigate the mean of a data set.  In this fifth grade mathematics lesson, 5th graders determine the mean of sets of numbers using a calculator.  Students use a blank role book page to create grades for students...

Young scholars investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Students participate in a "Jeopardy" review game. In this review lesson, students are divided into two teams and are asked to pick a question for a specific amount of play money. The game board can be drawn on a chalkboard with a column...

Students calculate fractions used in various food recipes in this Math lesson with real world applications. The lesson is geared towards upper elementary students but can be adapted for various levels of learners. State math standards...

First graders use probability terminology to describe all possible outcomes of certain events. In this probability activity, 1st graders use counters to create a pretend "purse" of objects. Students create their own probability...

Young scholars form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the instructional activity which...

Students explore and derive functions. In this calculus lesson, students graphs a function and find the derivative of each function as they compare exponential graphs. They relate and compare each function to its derivative.

First graders practice identifying and creating patterns by using unifix cubes.  For this visual design lesson, 1st graders investigate reoccurring patterns using colors and shapes and extend what is being made with their...

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring lesson, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure different objects...

Students conduct an experiment. In this movement lesson plan, students see how far a marble will roll after coming down a ramp. The students change the height of the ramp to make it roll faster and record their results.

Young scholars complete various activities for probability. In this probability lesson, students use coins, cubes, peanut butter and jelly, playing cards, number cubes, darts, and a Gauss Curve to study probability. Young scholars must...

Students collect and analyze voltage data. For this math lesson, students investigate exponential functions using the TI and a Voltage Probe. They graph their data and analyze it using a table.

Learners create a reading nook. In this measurement lesson, students find a spot in the classroom to turn into a reading nook. They need to measure how much space they need to fit learners and supplies into their nook. 

Eighth graders find ways to use math everyday. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model equation and problem solving as they multiply and divide numbers. They split up in to groups as they perform hands on operations. 

Stduents use fractions by bowling. They are required to make a math sentence after bowling and using greater than, less than or equal signs.

Students explore money counting.  In this money problem solving lesson, students calculate how much money their name is "worth" using the corresponding alphabet letters which have been assigned a coin value.

Fifth graders identify a set of data from a real world problem. In this statistics lesson, 5th graders identify the range, mode, median and mean using some manipulatives. They write words randomizing the letters.

Students explore area and perimeter. In this math lesson plan, students differentiate between area and perimeter and compute the area and perimeter of an object.

Students discover data reading and computations. In this math lesson plan, students collect nutritional data about intakes of certain foods compared with daily recommended allowances. Students create their own data charts based on their...

Fourth graders perform probability experiments. In this math lesson plan, 4th graders complete a penny toss to evaluate and graph the combinations of outcomes. In a second activity, students draw M&Ms out of a bag and graph results....

Students create a line graph on the life expectancy for males and females in Canada. In this math and health lesson plan, students review table and graph terminology, create line graphs, and analyze the differences in life expectancy...

Students recognize similarities and generalize patterns. In this math and technology lesson plan, students develop an understanding of number patterning by grouping stamps and counting by 10s.

Students explore counting and graphing. In this math lesson plan, students practice counting from 1-25 and are exposed to two types of graphs: the pie graph and the bar graph. Students use Skittles to represent a variety of measurements.

Students identify the main ideas or topics of a lesson or unit using the plus, minus and interesting graphic organizer. In this main idea or topic lesson, students examine the use of the PMI graphic organizer. They describe the item they...
