Young scholars apply their knowledge of addition and subtraction of money into real life situations.

Students show the correlation between quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles and squares.

Students are introduced to basic aerodynamics through a discussion of thrust and drag and a hands-on activity. They examine the forces of thrust, drag, air pressure, aerodynamic shapes and Newton's Third Law Of Motion.

Students investigate the components of volume and use appropriate units and procedures to calculate the volume of several household boxes.

Students practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.

Students explore the concept of symmetry by drawing an the other half of an object. They pick from a stack of magazine pictures and draw it on another piece of paper.

Students, in groups, venture onto the schoolground on a scavenger hunt for shapes. They are given tasks: recorder, team leader, presenter, reporter, and behavior guidelines and a time limit. They search the school for shapes found in...

Students review plane figures by playing a game that resembles "Twister." They listen to directions to locate a large example of the figure which is placed on the floor.

Students create a set of fraction circles using a paper folding technique. They fold 10 inch circles of paper into the indicated fractions, identify the fractions, and use them to show equivalency.

Students study graphs and learn how to display information into a graph. In this graph lesson plan, students construct a graph of their own sorted data, and pick out things in graphs that are inconsistent.

Students identify the relationship between relations and functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate and find the slope of a line using a graph, 2 points and an equation. They calculate the slope from a set a...

Fourth graders compare fractions and put them in order using M&Ms.

Students count, record, and calculate money. They save, as well as to explain the value of jobs and working hard.

Students examine uses for ordinal numbers in calendars, and an ordinal chart. They order ice cream cone cut outs from 1st to 20th and complete a worksheet. (not given)

Students engage in a lesson plan to find out more information about insects. They collect and observe different insects found on school property. They research the insects once they have been classified. Also a video is used to create a...

Young scholars practice solving problems logically. Using the internet, students observe pictures and facts about the SR-71 Blackbird. They convert statistics about the aircraft. Young scholars explore terms of flight and convert them to...

Students identify class and types of materials in our environment.  In this investigative lesson plan students work in groups to process information about what actions should be taken concerning solid waste.

Third graders develop their algebraic thinking by recognizing a variety of patterns using concrete objects, numbers, tables, and pictures. In this George and Sam Save for a present lesson, 3rd graders communicate their mathematical...

Young scholars pull tootsie pops from a large grocery bag and tell the teacher three three things: 1. their favorite flavor, 2. probability of them getting their favorite flavor and 3. keep a tally of flavors drawn from the bag at the...

Students differentiate between bar graphs, line graphs, pictographs and bar graphs. After participating in a hands-on cookie activity, students label and draw their own graphs.

Students trace the routes of escaping slaves on their journey north by calculating the mileage each one walked and define and use accurately the term Underground Railroad. They read The Drinking Gourd by Jeanetter Winter.

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

Third graders read "Pigs on the Ball" by Amy Axelrod and discuss the geometry concepts presented in the book. They use Twizzler sticks and pipe cleaners to represent lines, rays and angles.

Third graders examine two-dimensional objects and create a 3-D image of the object. They make models of the Taj Mahal and buildings in Delhi.
