Provide Algebra I learners with a logical approach to making connections between the types of sequences and formulas with a lesson plan that uses what class members know about explicit formulas to develop an understanding of...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Win the war of the worlds! Scholars solve a variety of problems related to an alien invasion. They determine where spaceships have landed on a coordinate map, devise a plan to avoid the aliens, observe the aliens, and break a code to...

The brother-sister pair Carlos and Clarita need your class's help in developing their new pet sitting business. Through a variety of scenarios and concerns presented to the siblings, the learners thoroughly explore systems of equations...

Students learn about how robots are programmed to play games. They then construct robot applications (basic computer codes) for playing tic-tac-toe comprised of if-then logic sequences. Students then compete in teams using their...

Young scholars learn how to make patterns. Students first display their prior knowledge of patterns before delving into the instructional activity. They complete a worksheet and participate in a web-based class activity. They work in...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

Fourth graders determine a way to place numbers in the nine circles that are arranged in a triangular pattern so that each side has an equal sum. They use each number once and practice adding single digit numbers.

Students find strategies for investigating number problems. They find a common multiple of a group numbers. The teacher introduces the problem and students read and think about it. In groups, students discuss the problem and write...

Students try to figure out the strategies to the game Noughts. Students logic must play a part in the process of the game. Students apply the symmetries of regular polygons. Students devise ways to critically follow a chain of reasoning.

Students solve various word problems that deal with common denominators, and write the mathematical explanations they used to obtain the solutions.

Sixth graders investigate how colors, objects and geometric shapes have been used symbolically in art during specific time periods. They use this information to create symbolic artwork and write a descriptive/informational piece...

Young scholars read the short poem for each number to help them with number formation. For this numbers lesson plan, students follow directions of the poems.

Fifth graders explore and examine how to make organized lists and find patterns to help them solve problems. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numerical patterns involving operations of whole...

Students practice counting to four. For this counting to four lesson, students access an e-book at "I Save A Tree.com" where they count items up to four. They examine the text and images which can be seen in both Spanish and English.

Students plan, design, and create a school/community garden.  In this planning, designing, and creating a school/community garden lesson, students research materials needed to start a garden.  Students determine the cost of...

Students listen to the math problem and discuss. They work alone or in groups to come up with the possible solutions and put their pictures of the bottle arrangements on the wall so that the class can refer to them.

Students are introduced to the given problem and describe in their own words the situation represented in a bar chart and tally chart. They then use a bar chart and tally chart to make sensible predictions.
