Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Students review telling time to the hour and half hour on an analog clock. In this time instructional activity, the students learn how to determine the time in each of the 4 standard time zones.

Students make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

Learners conduct probability experiments.  in this number lesson, students use spinners and conduct probability experiments.  They collect and organize data on talley sheets.

First graders listen to Shapes and The Greedy Triangle to identify and describe examples of geometric shapes.  For this geometric shapes lesson, look for geometric shapes in real world places.  Students make a mobile of shapes...

Second graders observe and design manipulatives showing fractional parts.  In this fractional part instructional activity, 2nd graders create a paper hamburger using circle fractions.  Students navigate a website to find...

Second graders work with different types of patterns. In this pattern lesson, 2nd graders go to a pattern block webpage and use Unifix cubes to create their own patterns. They find patterns in the real world and draw their own...

Students examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. In this geometry and probability lesson plan, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of landing on a...
