Students discuss word problems involving time and money. In this mathematics lesson, students solve word problems as a class focusing on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and simple fractions. Students then make their own word...

Students use  digital camera to document the needs for daily living. In this life skills and visual arts lesson, students create class books that include photographs of everyday objects that they use in their home, school and...

Students create a poster of how math is in their everyday lives. In this math lesson plan, students create a poster with different sections of how math affects them everyday.

Students brainstorm how math is used in daily life. They develop a class list of different topic areas in which math is used and work in small groups to think of specific examples of how math is an important part of their lives.

How likely is it that the school cafeteria will serve chicken tomorrow? Discover the concept of probability with the roll of the dice. Pupils evaluate the liklihood of several statments about everyday life. Then, a mathematical...

Engineering design projects serve as great opportunities for collaborative problem solving. In this case, students work in small groups designing, building, and eventually testing a structure that meets a teacher-specified objective. It...

Fifth graders utilize basic math computation on a pretend shopping trip to obtain everyday items and services such as an oil change and grocery shopping.

Compare and classify 2-D shapes! Kindergarteners inspect the attributes of plane shapes and examine shapes in everyday life. They label the circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles they find. This is the website where you can find the...

Ask elementary young scholars to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show...

Help your students explore shapes. They classify shapes and identify them in their everyday world. Plane shapes are explored, and they classify and identify the plane shapes.

Students use a protractor to measure angles. They classify angles by type: right angle, acute angles, and obtuse angles. Students build and draw right, acute, and obtuse angles. They discuss how do people in various professions use...

Students gain practice in the analysis of various types of graphs common in daily life. These examples often use graphic images like charts, graphs, tables, and pictures to supplement learning.

Students practice their logical thinking skills. In this reasoning lesson, students complete tasks involving geometric shapes, place value, and odd/even numbers.

Students practice telling time on an analog clock. In this time measurement lesson, students use individual analog clocks to identify the hour and minute hand. Students identify how to tell time by moving the hour and minute hand.

Students investigate simple linear functions by trying to guess a function rule from inputs and outputs. They write the function rule in algebraic form.
