Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Fifth graders practice multiplication and division facts while completing a pumpkin coloring sheet.  In this multiplication and division lesson, 5th graders color based on the answers and the color key.  

Students listen to the book Five Little Monkeys Sitting In a Tree, identify written numbers 0-9 and the symbol for subtraction; students subtract two single digit numbers using manipulatives, and recite the corresponding number sentence.

Students critically follow a chain of reasoning to devise a decent problem solving technique to be applied to a reasonable problem. They also examine how to use logical arguments.

Ninth graders divide in pairs 3 cards with the words possible, impossible and certain on them. Ask questions of the class and get the students to hold up the word that describes the event (for example) Tomorrow it will snow. You have...

Students figure out how to arrange seating in a concert hall given specific requirements. They better explain how dividing can allow us to arrive at mathematical solutions quickly and logically.

Young scholars look for patterns to solve problems involving statistics using different colored gumballs. They should be able to look for and find out all the possible outcomes based upon inference and trials.

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.

In this algebra worksheet, 10th graders rewrite algebraic expression using algebra. They follow specific steps to solve this word problem. There is an answer key.

Students work in groups to research clocks and practice telling time. In this telling time lesson, students use the computer program ProQuest to study circles, including radius and diameter, and practice drawing circles using a compass....

Students explore the creative aspects of problem-solving and practice creative problem-solving strategies in the context of a story problem. They decide where to locate ice cream stands in a town so that no one has to travel too far to...

Students experiment with scale to solve a problem presented in a video clip. They determine the correct size to use when constructing a model and evaluate the use of proportions in real life applications.

Students explore how to logically sort and store information in order to make it easy to manage and easily retrieved. They explore methods they can use to organize and manage information.

Pupils study

Students establish classifications of shapes by various properties (angles, sides, etc.). They introduce the important properties of common shapes. Students develop an awareness of the wide variety of ways the 2-D shapes can be alike.

Students discover that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. They are shown how a triangle is formed using three strips such as that the triangle is seen inside the strips.

Algebra learners must know how to use rational numbers to approximate irrationals. This resource asks participants to decide which number is larger without using a calculator. It makes a great exercise to use as a five-minute transition...

Students work together to develop logical arguments about pyramids and chain letters. They share their ideas with other groups and create a diagram showing the breakdown. They discuss the results.

Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. For this early elementary math lesson, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on KidPix.

Fifth graders classify blocks according to their attributes. In this math lesson, 5th graders will identify attributes of blocks, sort them, then form the groups into a Venn Diagram, and write ratios using the attributes.

In this missing square activity, learners find the missing square amongst a group of numbers with the number that logically belongs there. Students complete 1 problem.

High schoolers devise a strategy to solve problems that is done in a systematic and mathematical fashion. The finding of the unknown value is the focus of the lesson. To solve linear equations proficiently is the skill of the lesson.

Third graders focus on developing a systematic approach to problem solving while working on a problem that requires them to determine possible outcomes. They use a pegboard as a manipulative in this problem.

Students explore the problem of percentages. Students find a given fraction or percentage of a quantity. Students devise and use problem solving strategies on problems explored.
