Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a ruler.

Through an interdisciplinary lesson, emerging engineers explore the history of surveying systems. After discussing various systems, they perform surveys on printable pages. Using their geometric skills, they physically stake out plots...

When practicing problem-solving skills students have to hone their critical thinking. In this activity on problem solving, 5th graders have to determine which operation and what strategy to use when answering the word problem. This...

Second graders practice measuring the lengths of objects. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders use paper clips to measure objects in the classroom. Students use larger paper clips first and record their answers, then use the smaller...

Fifth graders explore geometry by exploring Pi. In this circle measurement lesson, 5th graders identify the relationship between the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle and how Pi is the key to unlocking any circular...

Students compare and organize different fractions. In this fraction lesson, students use wax paper divided into squares to represent fractions. Students put them in different orders based on their value to complete their mathematics...

Fifth graders discover how to use inverse operations to solve equations. In this inverse operations instructional activity, 5th graders explore visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Middle schoolers investigate road surface and calculate speed. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the roughness of a road and calculate distance and speed based on friction. They relate friction and energy to speed.

Students use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Two activities explore the concept of size, especially small sizes down to the nano. Scholars practice determining volume, mass, and density and calculate exponential increases and decreases. They then predict and test the effect of size...

Does standard deviation work for non-symmetrical distributions, and what does it mean? Through the use of examples, high schoolers determine the standard deviation of a variety of distributions and interpret its...

Look at climate change around the world using graphical representations and a hands-on learning simulation specified to particular cities around the world. Using an interactive website, young scientists follow the provided...

Creative problem solving is fun and helps kids conceptualize content. They use grid paper, manilla paper, and markers to cut, draw, and show given double-digit numbers as many ways as they can.

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

What linear equation will fit this data, and how close is it? Through discussion and partner work, young mathematicians learn the procedure to determine a regression line in order to make predictions from the data. 

Bring your young mathematicians into the fold. Scholars conduct an activity folding paper to see the relationship between the number of folds and the number of resulting layers in the 23rd installment of a 36-part module. The results of...

Early childhood students will develop listening skills as they read "Nuts To You" by Lois Ehlert. In this lesson students will learn about Students will learn facts about different types of squirrels and their behaviors. There will be a...

First graders listen to the book, So Many Cats, and discuss the number of cats in the story. They demonstrate simple addition problems using cat counters and a work mat in the shape of a house.

Students create art with the Manduca by placing gel on their body and letting them walk over colored paper. They discover what their footprints and movements are like. They create a piece of art by using the Manduca markings.

Young scholars investigate the components of volume and use appropriate units and procedures to calculate the volume of several household boxes.

In this scale drawings worksheet, 5th graders learn to solve measurement problems using scale drawings and models for the six word problems.

First graders practice identifying and creating patterns by using unifix cubes.  In this visual design lesson, 1st graders investigate reoccurring patterns using colors and shapes and extend what is being made with their unifix...

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...

Students study fractions. In this art lesson, students fold paper, use origami, making new shapes and discuss the area of the shapes created.
