Students apply math skills to assess the range, mean, mode, and median of data sets. Using a "Reaching New Heights" worksheet, they review and discuss how to calculate the answers. Students write complete explanations of all their...

Fourth graders work with patterns while using large numbers. In this patterning lesson, 4th graders go over the definitions of the words: predict, estimate, attendance, increase, and decrease. They complete worksheets in which they track...

Young scholars read the book On the Seashore and complete activities such as reading a book, color and cut out animal cards, model rock making, shell graphing, shell patterns, and more. In this seashell lesson plan, students use the...

Students work in pairs to test the strength of spaghetti strands. They collect and graph data to determine a line of best fit. Students create a linear equation to interpret their data. Based on the data collected, students predict...

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences lesson, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds chart by coloring...

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...

Students compare food prices to find the lowest unit price and make choices about where to shop and what to purchase on weekly items, cost comparisons and items needed. They collect grocery ads and weekly sale flyer's to expedite their...

Young scholars identify and interpret the function, usefulness or utitlity, form, beauty or aesthetics, and meaning, context or story, of objects and how they learn new skills and make things that they learn traditionally, by observation...

Students evaluate food prices. In this real world math lesson plan, students compare the cost of various grocery items to determine which is the best deal. They work in groups using grocery ads to decide how to get the most product for...

Fourth graders use math in a living room redecoration lesson. In this geometry lesson, 4th graders get the dimensions of a living room and need to find the amount and cost of paint and flooring. They read different scenarios and decide...

Students compare prices and determine percent increases and decreases of items in order to make wise purchases. In this percent increases and decreases lesson plan, students calculate the amounts based on grocery store ads.

In this probability worksheet, students make a set of cards with letters (instructions provided) and use them to solve 5 probability investigations.

Second graders practice problem solving strategies. In this problem solving lesson, 2nd graders use strategies such as guess and check, acting out, drawing pictures and looking for patterns to solve problems. Students work in groups to...

Students predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Students measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Students predict the outcome of a question and conduct a survey and record their findings on a bar graph.

Livestock managers reinforce math and science skills while learning about the nutrients found in manure. They predict which animal produces the largest amount and which animal's manure contains the most nitrogen. Finally, they compare...

You're going to wish you had a watermelon for this lesson! Class members read about watermelons and make a salad in class to sample. They also perform estimates, measurements and calculations on a watermelon. They predict what percentage...

In this math learning exercise, students use the laws of probability in order to make predictions about the average and future outcomes in the word problems.

Students read "Moosey Saves Money" and use mental math to determine if Moosey is saving any money. For this math computation and estimation lesson, students discuss the story in relation to saving money, recording in their math journal....

Students analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make a...

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

Students examine scatterplots and determine the equation of a line using the slope-intercept method. Students interpret graphs, draw inferences, and sketch a curve of best fit for the graph. Based upon patterns in the graphs, students...

In these equation worksheets, students solve 2 multi-step word problems. Students must set and solve equations as well as make predictions given their equations.

As an experiment is demonstrated for them, students write down their observations and brainstorm questions that can help them understand what they saw. After watching the experiment again—which demonstrates a soda can collapsing due to...
