Students listen to a folktale and determine the problem and solution in the story. They rewrite the ending by coming up with a different solution to the same problem. They interpret the problem and solution in the folktale and...

Students identify the plot of a text. In this literature lesson, students listen to the book The Great Kapok Tree and identify the problem and solution. A graphic organizer is used to help reinforce the concept.

In this electrochemistry worksheet, students balance 10 chemical equations and complete 28 additional questions about electrochemical cells.

Students explore animal characteristics by creating illustrations. For this animal identification lesson, students read a list of animal descriptions which they draw using crayons or colored pencils. Students view their drawings and...

In this adding and subtracting fractions worksheet, students solve 5 sets of problems related to the adding and subtracting of fractions. First, they identify that each fraction has a common denominator and then simplify by adding or...

In this algebra worksheet, students identify the age of a man and a woman given their combined age and some clues to help write the equation. There is an answer key with this problem.

In this fraction worksheet, 4th graders solve for fractions reading word problems.  Students read and solve for 6 problems using the given information provided in each.

Fourth graders explore, analyze and discuss how to interact with others in ways that respect individual and group differences. They identify and practice the skills used to compromise in a variety of situations. Each students studies the...
