For this counting/coloring worksheet, students follow directions to color designs on a large ball that correspond to numbers. Worksheet is designed for fine motor and basic counting practice.

How do you put something as large as the universe in perspective? Use a series of scale experiments. Classmates collaborate around four experiments to examine the scale of the earth-moon system, our solar system, the Milky Way galaxy,...

When presented with categorical data, a two-way frequency table is a great way to summarize the information. Pupils organize categorical data using a two-way table, then use the tables to determine missing data and to calculate simple...

Have your class participate in a variety of sports and craft activities using this resource. With sports as the theme, learners work on art projects. Students create soccer ball prints, a three dimensional football, and a sports collage.

Examine wood bugs and their habitat. Learners gather wood bugs and examine their bodies. Then discuss their body parts and how they help them survive. They also predict where they think wood bugs live to then graph the class results.

Find the box with two green balls. The applet uses six balls, three green and three red, and hides them in three boxes. Pupils choose a box and click on it to reveal the color of balls inside. Using the chosen box, the simulation keeps...

Now this lesson sounds fun! Young scholars throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

As the Summer Olympics are approaching, incorporate Olympic-type games into the classroom. From straw javelin to cotton ball shot put, these games are sure to keep leaners engaged. The best part is that there is math involved! Pupils...

What a fun way for youngsters to practice numbers! Using Playdough (or another type of moldable dough, which can be made at home easily), learners create lengths to place over large number cards, tracing the numbers 1-10. Then, they...

Studying function means more than simply learning a formula. Learners must use functions to think through four problems and find solutions. Each task utilizes a different concept from a study of functions. Class members might...

If Earth is modeled by a grapefruit, what planet could be represented by a golf ball? This activity uses everyday and not-so-everyday objects to create a model of the Solar System.

Pupils practice estimation skills with the video series "Interactions: Real Math, Real Careers". They complete a hands-on activity for estimating large numbers.

Examine patterns of figures composed of six-squares and predict which of the twenty presented could be folded to make a cube. They then fold large-scale patterns of these figures to confirm their hunches.

Group that class and get them classifying and sorting figures as congruent or similar. They use magazines to identify and label similar and congruent figures, cutting out images and placing c or s next to each image.

Students watch a video clips before problem solving the use of angles in real world situations. They problem solve using spatial reasoning while connecting math to a sports activity that investigates the path of a bouncing ball.

Students study the pumpkin. In this pumpkin lesson, students participate in different activities that explain the history of pumpkins and how pumpkins develop and grow, read "The Great Pumpkin Story" and answer comprehensive questions...

Students are introduced to the idea of probability by discussing the likelihood of events occurring. Pupils describe events that are certain, impossible, likely, and unlikely to occur. They determine the likelihood of an event occurring...

Students test catapults. In this physics lesson, student conduct scientific investigations that require them to test catapults. Students practice their problem solving skills as they employ the use of the scientific method.

Students develop fitness levels and reinforce specific sports skills while integrating basic math.

In this adding practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems using any method they wish.

Students practice reading and math skills using technology.  In this main idea lesson, students retell the important events of A Birthday for Tia in sequence using Kid Pix.  Students create a bar graph using The Graph Club...

Students complete activities to study the number 5 and the concept of fiveness. In this number recognition activity, students recite finger rhymes and participate in activities to learn about the number 5. Students complete a related...

Students practice identifying spheres, triangles, and rectangles and the difference between plane shapes and space shapes. They identify shapes in the classroom and complete activity sheets.
