Fourth graders devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically (guess and check, make a drawing, use equipment). The use of logical reasoning is a focus of this lesson.

Students are able to assess a problem and use systematic methods to solve the problem. They also find out all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events using tree diagrams.

Students listen to the problem read to them. They answer some simple questions using number sentences. They then compose a written record of the solution and share their approaches used.

Learners find strategies for investigating number problems. They find a common multiple of a group numbers. The teacher introduces the problem and students read and think about it. In groups, learners discuss the problem and write...

Seventh graders participate in several learning/research stations in which they view artwork from various countries of the Eastern world and collect information on the populations of the Eastern countries. They then use this information...

Fourth graders listen to the story of a farmer who only likes to be able to see nine sheet from his window. His wife has brought him another sheep - what now? They work together in pairs to solve the problem and share solutions.

Students explore geometric shapes using pattern blocks. They use specific shapes to fill in triangles, color-in their solutions, and discuss the results with a partner.

Students explore math and art concepts, create digital art examples of the concepts, and incorporate these works into a PowerPoint portfolio with explanation and analysis.

Ninth graders discover what it means to "brainstorm." They explore a given simple number pattern and then, working in groups, brainstorm more complicated number patterns. They display them around the room and then solve the number...

In this math and sports worksheet, students read and review the statistics from the performance of teams in the Cricket World Cup. They identify which team played the most matches and who won the most. Students also compare the...

Students complete activities to study the concept of place value notation. In this place value lesson, students use cards for the days of the month that only number from 1 to 9. Students find a subtraction pattern to determine the amount...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders explore two examples of arguments that can be formalized with mathematical induction.  The one page worksheet contains two problems with explanation. 

Pupils watch the teacher demonstrate on an overhead projector how to graph various equations before the students try them on their own. They start with pencil and paper; once they grasp the concept they move on to punching in the...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

For this multiple intelligences assessment worksheet, students will work with a partner to answer questions designed to determine one's learning styles.

Fifth graders add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers. While receiving coaching and praise from his/her partner, each student will multiply whole numbers (three digits by two digits).

Students are introduced to the component's of Ohm's Law. In groups, they practice their problem solving skills by reviewing problems solved earlier. They participate in activities that help them gather information on the importance of...

In this ELL, reasonable answers worksheet, students answer 6 multiple choice, word problems where they must choose the most reasonable answer from 3 choices. A definition of reasonable is provided.

In this secondary mathematics learning exercise, students use logical thinking and the five clues to determine who will receive which Christmas gift.  The one page learning exercise contains one problem.  Answer is not...

Second graders create a bar graph to pictorically represent the data collected from a survey of students. They use Excel to electronically create the graphs and data tallies. They then interpret their data using sentences to explain.

Ninth graders identify quadrilaterals and label the vertices of quadrilaterals. they justify their identification of the quadrilaterals. Students work in groups to identify and create quadrilaterals

Students classify, flip, slide, and turn a quantity of quadrilaterals.
