Third graders complete a worksheet.  In this fractions lesson plan, 3rd graders review fraction vocabulary, use the SmartBoard to divide fractions and complete stations where they work with fractional parts of a whole.

Students use expanded notation. In this mathematics lesson, students determine the place value of a digit within a whole number. Students use manipulatives, words, and symbols to represent whole numbers.

Learners investigate relations in this algebra lesson. They graph the set of ordered pairs that determine a relation. Using a TI-83 Plus, your learners will enter the coordinates in a list, create a scatter plot, and manipulate the...

Students identify and manipulate shapes to create tessellations. In these geometry/spatial relations lessons, the students use of a variety of modalities such as literature, music, writing, and art as introductions to the concept of...

Young scholars classify angles. In this angles lesson, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Young scholars participate in a...

Students explore proportions and ratios. In this solving percent problems lesson, students examine percent problems including tax and percent of change.

In this reading comprehension lesson, students use the book "The Magic Pot," to explore many concepts including; story elements, sequencing, and phonics. Students also practice making doubles using coins and "magic pots." This very...

Students investigate the history of money as it was back then compare to now. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the type of money used in medieval times, the value of the currency and the coins used. They make a budget using...

Young scholars draw diagrams to help them solve word problems. In this geometry lesson plan, students follow step by step directions to set up a word problem and solve it. They write a paper on their prefer rules or strategies.

Students define properties of fractions and solve for them. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite fractions from mixed numbers to improper fractions. They reduce fractions using the GCF and convert the denominators correctly when...

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects and...

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point activity, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

Young scholars construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. For this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Young scholars identify powers and relationships between...

Elementary schoolers examine the attributes of triangles. In this triangle lesson, learners compare regular triangles and right triangles. They explore vertices and angles and investigate obtuse and acute angles. Pupils draw multiple...

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

Review the concept of subtracting positive and negative integers. Learners review the rules for subtracting integers, use manipulatives to visualize the process, and complete an assessment.

Sometimes a skeleton is all you get. This lesson outline provides teachers with a basic lesson flow. Pupils will pre-test, order place value names, use manipulatives, and build and compare numbers. How this is to be done is not...

First graders manipulate plastic coins to show equivalencies between pennies and dimes and to show specific values using them. They practice independently to stamp different values a variety of ways.

Fifth graders build area models to represent multi-digit multiplication. This lesson is not complete, but having pupils learn first through hands-on experiences builds a solid mathematical foundation.

Practice place value skills with this activity. Learners put numbers in order from greatest to least, identify the values of particular numbers, and engage in an activity to compare numbers using manipulatives.

Students explore the concept of multiplying polynomials. In this multiplying polynomials lesson, students watch a video clip about basic math skills. Students work in groups on an exploration about why a binomial squared equals a perfect...

Students explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool lesson, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Students identify and draw one line of symmetry in a...

Learners analyze the real number system. They discuss real numbers, rational and irrational numbers, integers, whole numbers, natural numbers and more of the real number in the system. They differentiate between all these numbers.

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...
