Make math class feel like a day at the beach (minus all the sunburns, of course). Given information about a pail, a soup can, and a plastic pyramid mold, pupils calculate the volume of sand that can fit in each. They then design sand...

Learners gain an understanding of how the powers of 10 and scientific notation can be used to represent the scale of things in the universe. They relate the number of stars in the universe to the number of grains of sand on Earth's beaches.

Let's go to the beach! Danielle, Marty, and Phil collected shells at the beach. Can you determine how many shells each child has? Create a picture graph to make the data easier to understand. 

If it's warm, they will come! Learners find a line of best fit to show a relationship between temperature and beach visitors. Previous lessons in the series showed pupils how to create and find associations in scatter plots. Now,...

Encourage sorting and classification skills by asking, "What kinds of things are found at the seaside?" Kids sort objects by calling out the items found at the beach. They can choose from things like balls, dogs, bikinis, shells, and...

Hang out at the beach and listen to some relaxing tunes, all while developing basic math skills. An endless source of fun and learning for young children!

Help learners determine the rate of change for the temperature of sand. They will collect data on the temperature of wet and dry sand over time with a heat lamp overhead. Then make a scatter plot of the data and find a linear model to...

Author Faith Ringgold uses quilts to illustrate her books Tar Beach and Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad. In this integrated trio of activities, young scholars read stories, identify and create patterns, and design quilt squares of...

This performance task gives the population model of different types of flies and asks scholars to analyze the two populations. After interpreting the functions individually, participants compare the two populations and find the time...

What is the relationship between a hemisphere, a cone, and a cylinder? Using Cavalieri's Principle, the class determines that the sum of the volume of a hemisphere and a cone with the same radius and height equals the volume of a...

These addition word problems are written out in boxes that lend themselves to laminating and cutting out for a math station. There are 8 scenarios in all, each with an image and prompting learners to use the single-digit information to...

In this sun safety activity activity, students use their counting skills to connect the dots numbered 1-37 to reveal a beach hat. Students also read the sentence pertaining to safety in the sun.

Students identify marine animals that could become stranded due to coastal features and currents. They plot data on worksheets for locations of sea turtles actually beached or stranded. After plotting their points, they hypothesize...

Auntie Litter is here to educate young scholars about water pollution and environmental stewardship! Although the 15-minute video clip is cheesy, it's an engaging look at the water cycle and conservation. Learners start by illustrating...

Rows of Nautilus shells, beach balls, sand pails, and sea gulls array this handout. Kindergartners compare the relative sizes in each row and simply color any that are the same size. This page would make terrific take-home practice for...

This is an absolute must-have resource for early elementary teachers! Here you'll find a collection of activities and worksheets for each day of the month of June, with topics ranging from ordering numbers on a calendar or identifying...

In this geometry worksheet, students define important vocabulary dealing with circles. They measure cricles to the nearest degree. There are 11 word problems to be solved.

The djinni in this resource offers gold coins. Learners use the properties of exponents to make their decision as one offer increases exponentially. This makes a great group project. As the commentary suggests, start by having groups...

Several real-world problems are posed as a way to learn about vector fields in order to make some predictions after analyzing the data. The main problem comes from the tv show NUMB3RS and is based on solving a crime where a body has...

Young scholars read the book On the Seashore and complete activities such as reading a book, color and cut out animal cards, model rock making, shell graphing, shell patterns, and more. In this seashell lesson plan, students use the...

Students use tables of fish collection data to draw conclusions about where fish live in the Hudson Estuary. Given available data they interpret organized observations and measurements and recognize simple patterns, sequences, and...

In this beach ball counting worksheet, students count the number of dots on beach balls, cut out numbers from one to ten, and match the numbers with the total number of dots. Students match ten dots and numbers.

In this word problem worksheet, students solve one word problem by finding the shortest route following certain restrictions.  The fully worked out solution using a tree diagram is provided at the bottom of the page.

In this math lesson, students calculate the cost of bridge construction and time of completion. They solve and write short answers to 5 questions using mathematical operations.
