Students write numbers and create drawings that demonstrate the grouping of objects. They write the numbers 1-10 on their paper, list a different object next to each number, and create an illustration that demonstrates the correct number...

Kindergarteners arrange manipulatives or everyday objects in groups of one through five. They identify groups seen in pictures of nature and compare same numbers of different objects.

Students sort objects by color. In this classification lesson, students identify the color of the objects and categorize them according to color.

Upper graders use the properties of right angle trignonmetry to measure objects such as the school flagpole. They solve real world problems using these properties.

Explore parametric equations in this instructional activity, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...

Teach how to explore exponential equations.  In this Algebra II lesson, students investigate the graph that occurs as a hot liquid cools.  Students model the data algebraically.

Budding mathematicians use sets of concrete materials to represent, count, and match quantities to 10 or more given in verbal or written form while participating in hands-on activities. This activity uses the book 1, 2, 3 To The Zoo.

Students explore the differences between man-made and natural objects. In this lesson designed to compare properties of objects, students differentiate between natural and man-made objects and complete an activity designed to show what...

Young scholars calculate the rate of speed of various moving objects within the classroom setting, or outside under a controlled environment.

Use the book, The Gummy Candy Counting Book, to practice counting up to ten objects in a group. This lesson nicely-combines language arts and math in a way that should lead to effective teaching.

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...

Math pupils, by viewing a video, discover the history of pi and some of the applications of its uses in the world today. They conduct an experiment by measuring the diameter and circumference of various circular objects to calculate...

Upper graders add and subtract decimals, using concrete objects and story problems. Note: The Concentration Cards and Homework assignment link at the bottom of the plan doesn't work.

Students discover the ability to estimate based on viewing photographs of objects.  For this number sense lesson, students view photographs of numerous objects in which they must train their eyes to create an educated guess of how...

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

Students graph linear http://www.instructional activityplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving instructional activity, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example...

Students examine a selection of shapes and identify which shapes tessellate and why. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. Students describe the features of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional...

Students examine the concept of standard deviation, calculating mean, and collecting data. They measure the standard deviation in a bag of M&M candy, record the data, and calculate the mean.

In this number recognition worksheet, students view illustrations of birthday cakes and count the number of candles on the cake. Students answer 20 true or false questions based on the number of candles.

Students participate in hands-on activities in which they count and match objects to 10 or more using one-to-one correspondence and make a record of objects counted, which be kept in a math portfolio.

The students compare themselves and their shadows to various objects big and small. Students use their data to set up proportions to solve.

Learners conduct an experiment to study friction. They complete a KWL chart on friction and conduct an activity about the amount of friction on a moving object. To conclude, pupils create a table or graph of the data collected and they...
