Seventh graders calculate percentages, convert fractions to decimals, and decimals to fractions using information from a basketball game.

Eighth graders will create model drawings of bridges and integrate technology into the process of creating a visual representation. Technology is used in the industry of design and architecture. This instructional activity helps to...

Third graders explore multiplying whole numbers by one- and two-digit numbers using a fun game. When the bell rings student takes first card and writes it on the board. When teacher rings the bell students match numbers with someone from...

Teach the class how to add using front-end addition. They are given a shopping list and use it to practice adding from the largest place value to the smallest. Computational math and shopping, what fun!

Multi-step problems are part of the progression when learning to solve equations. These 12 problems require only two steps to arrive at an answer. Either print the page out to assign as homework, or have learners write down the problems...

Second graders study money amounts less than a dollar. In this math activity, 2nd graders practice counting coins. Students read various stories and discuss how money was used in the stories.

Students compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.

Students compare and contrast differences and likeness of whales/fish and toothed/baleen whales and discuss what they know about whales and what they would like to study about whales. They then describe the characteristics of a mammal.

First graders explore the zero property of addition and subtraction through the creation of a class book. Includes an assessment sheet.

Students experiment with a simple periscope to see how it reflects light. They draw a diagram of the path a ray of light follows as it travels from an object, through the periscope, and into your eye.

In this machine representation of a number worksheet, high schoolers explore definitions such as floating-point, round-off error, binary representation of a number, mantissa, and sign bit. They identify significant digits and determine...

Learners examine the change in the diversity of animals living in an area before and after development. In order to do this, students need to have access to an area near their school which is undeveloped. A good, "real life" lesson plan.

Students describe migrations and life cycle pattersn of a key alfalfa pest, the Porato Leafhopper. They define the Economic Inquiry Level and Economic Threshold. Students evaluate data in relation to profit as it applies to IPM. They...

Student use the Ti calculator to graph sinusoidal graphs. In this calculus lesson, learners use the CBL to collect and analyze data of sinusoidal graphs. They manipulate their collected data and make predictions.

Seventh graders discuss water issues and its affect on salmon population. They recreate a sampling river with fish (cheddar) and scoop them to tag them (which means they exchange them for pretzel fish.) They complete a spreadsheet to...

Second graders write and solve word problems related to career stories.

Third graders measure the speed at which they can walk in order to understand speed and distance traveled. They then research the history of transportation and express data in a class timeline.

Students explore how ice cream is made in a factory and at home. They help make ice cream in the classroom. They measure out the ingredients. Students share the ice cream when it is done.

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students explore weight. For this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Students read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...

Students estimate how many children in their class it would take to equal the mass of one adult bear. They then weigh and record their measurement on a chart to check their estimate.

Students explore the nature of the air we breathe by observing petri dishes that have accumulated particulate matter from the atmosphere. Students make mathematical calculations and inferences about the effect of this matter on...

Young scholars create an illustration of how to solve math problems. They use appropriate resources for solving the problems. Students have to demonstrate how drawing diagrams and using pictures can help them by using KidPix. On Slide...
