Students explore the concept of the corner problem. In this corner problem lesson, students use the TI-NSpire to determine the maximum length a rod can be and still pass horizontally around a corner. Students use similar triangles to...

Fifth graders model and distinguish between prime and composite numbers. Students are paired up with another classmate to complete this lesson. Students are assigned different numbers to work with, they use square tiles to form as many...

Students investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...

Seventh graders translate word problems into numerical expressions. Through guided practice, 7th graders discover how to take the information contained in a word problem and create a numerical expression using variables. They...

Students collect data, graph it, and use the data to find measures of central tendencies, and find probabilities.

Pupils calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students explore polygons based in their shape and number of sides. They find the formula for the area and use each specific formula for each shape.

Fourth graders study flight and compare various flights.  In this measurement lesson students complete a lab activity and record measurements. 

First graders practice nonstandard measurement and estimating and measuring lengths of objects.

Students examine the regions of the world, and identify the basic characteristics of industrialized and developing countries. They conduct Internet research on the economic and population characteristics of industrialized and developing...

Second graders work on the problem with a partner. They examine what they are supposed to be doing. They share the students's solutions making sure than they are looking for patterns along the diagonals.

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 calculate elapsed time and look for patterns.

Second graders read "The King's Chessboard" by David Birch. The teacher reads the story aloud and pauses at several points for students to calculate the next number in a pattern of doubling.

Young scholars explore patterns and geometric sequencing. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. Young scholars solve real life problems. They demonstrate, with cardboard pieces,...

Eighth graders study about precipitation and graph the information. They look for patterns in a scatter graph and make inferences based on what they see. They need to see a relationship between location and the amount of precipitation.

Fourth graders use properties of operations and problem-solving strategies to do mental calculations, and look for patterns in the solutions. They create an array, using each of the digits 1-9 exactly once to form addition problems...

Students state the general rule for a practical situation. They describe a continuing pattern. They use toothpicks to help visualize the problem and answer it correctly.

Fifth graders determine what it takes for a sequence of numbers to carry on infinitely. They examine patterns that can be made using linear combinations of 4 and 7 based on the use of four cent and seven cent stamps. They use appropriate...

Fourth graders play a game clarifying when a game is "fair". They play in pairs stressing that the idea that they work out a winning strategy for the first player. They look for patterns to suggest that they start with a smaller number...

Fourth graders solve a series of parallel problems. They use statistics, geometrical, and numerical aspects to solve the problem. Students create a pattern that answers the problem.

Young scholars use their classroom to look for various types of shapes. In their science journals, they record the shapes they find and identify those that can be used to solve problems or build structures. They share and post their...

Pupils investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used for...

Fifth graders read and write equations. In this equation writing instructional activity, 5th graders use real life scenarios to write equations. Students use manipulatives, draw pictures and make tables to understand how to write...

In this codes worksheet, students investigate eight codes used in everyday life. Fourteen activities are included as well as four miscellaneous exercise.  This worksheet has great student interest.
