Pupils explore percent increases and decreases. They calculate the percent increase and decrease. Students use math to solve problems and communicate. They apply the given formula for percent increase/decrease.

Young scholars explore perimeter, volume, and area. In this math lesson, students explore how changes in dimensions of geometric shapes affect the perimeter, area and volume of the various shapes. Young scholars investigate the results...

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

Students explore the cost of a party. In this math lesson plan, students plan a party and determine the cost of hosting a party. Students use information from grocery stores to determine the unit cost of items for the party.

Students explore the cost of wasted water. In this math lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they collect data on how much water is lost when a faucet leaks. Students figure the cost of the water that was wasted.

Young learners compare healthy foods to junk foods. They examine the growing process of a vegetable from a seed all the way to maturity. The book, The Magic School Bus in a Pickle is used. Some nice cross-curricular activities in math,...

Students make multiplication squares. In this math activity, students review their multiplication facts and multiplication strategies. Students are introduced to multiplication squares when multiplying a number by itself.

Ninth graders investigate the Cartesian coordinate plane.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the coordinates of a drawing of a fish and examine the effects of moving the drawing on the ordered pairs. Students predict the...

Students explore mean, median and mode. In this math lesson plan, students analyze temperature data and figure the mean, median, and mode of the data. Students graph the data in a bar graph.

First graders explore the existence of patterns in everyday items. In this science and math integrated lesson, 1st graders match leaves with a name word card and organize them into four patterns. This lesson includes a reading of And the...
