Learners explore the different phases of a crystal.  For this mineral lesson students grow their own sugar crystals using a sugar recipe. 

Students explore fractions. In this fraction lesson, students play an interactive game and use manipulatives to practice working with fractions.

Don't table the resource on writing expressions for relationships in tables. Scholars investigate relationships between variables and write algebraic expressions involving multiplication and division. These expressions help solve...

Time to put it all together! Building on the concepts learned in the previous lessons in this series, learners apply the Remainder Theorem to finding zeros of a polynomial function. They graph from a function and write a function from...

Help your math class understand variables. This activity is for a visual learner. They will use weights and a balance scale to show how the sides of an equation are equal. Worksheet is included.

Who wouldn't want $20,000 to spend? But, the question becomes, what do you spend it on? Learners discuss loans, interest, and making adult-like financial decisions. They role-play a scenario that depicts the choices of a girl who took...

Kindergartners are introduced to basic shapes. Learners spend 45 minutes a day in geometry centers carrying out the activities outlined in this ambitious plan. There are games, hands-on activities, interactive websites, art projects,...

Students make a crystal snowflake decoration out of string, pipe cleaners, food coloring, boiling water, and more. In this snowflake lesson plan, students let it dry over night and see crystals in the morning.

Second graders participate in Math-Eze activities to comprehend word problems. In this word problem lesson, 2nd graders recognize why a hexagon is the best shape for a beehive. Students calculate how far bees must travel to find 2 lbs....

Second graders engage in a instructional activity which focuses on adding two-digit numbers and the regrouping process. They identify when the regrouping process is necessary and make appropriate "trades" to complete an addition problem.

Students listen to the book Mouse Shapes and identify the shapes in the book as it is being read. In this shapes lesson, students identify the shapes in the book, and then play with cut out shapes that they can hold in their hands.

Students create homes for fairytale characters. In this early childhood lesson plan, students develop literacy, language, and problem-solving concepts as they create block structures related to specific fairy tales.

Students linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson plan, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an...

This plant structure and function PowerPoint addresses the main organs and the factors that affect its development as well as going into detail about the specializations at a cellular level.   The cell functions and system...

Kids engage in a series of activities that ask them to consider differences and similarities in characteristics, both visible and invisible. With this new understanding, the class investigates the Special Olympics program and develops...

Use this math lesson to help your fourth graders further their understanding of ordering fractions. After completing some whole-group activities together as a class, pairs of students play an online game which has them compare fractional...

Fourth graders use fraction strips to compare and order fractions. Identify various ways a figure can be divided. Find equivalent fractions. Recognize and order fractions with the denominators 2,3,4,5,6,8,10, and 12.

Students create images from simple shapes.

Explore the concept of density within states of matter—gases, liquids, and solids—through a group experiment in which young scientists test objects' texture, color, weight, size, and ability to sink or float.    

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Students solve word problems using the correct math symbols. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph their equation and analyze it. They find the line of regression and use to draw conclusion.

Students use scientific methods to investigate the effects of overpopulation of seed plants on growth in a limited living space. Students relate seed plant population findings to that of other organisms.

Students become "shape detectives" as they identify, name, create and describe common shapes within pictures and objects found within the learning environment. Suggestions include incorporating shapes into all learning areas and daily...

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.
