High schoolers participate in a lesson that focuses on the concepts of combining monomials to make polynomial expressions. They use algebra tiles to complete the exercises in the lesson. This is hands-on learning with successive problem...

High schoolers explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students use a applet that demonstrates chaos and probability of spread for a forest fire. High schoolers also play applets about the Game of Life and Rabbits...

First graders explore fractions with manipulatives. In this fraction lesson, 1st graders use paper foods such as sandwiches and pizza in order to find halves, thirds, fourths, eighths, and more. This lesson is divided up into 3 tiers...

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Third graders use pennies as manipulatives to solve simple division problems. They create division number sentences to correspond with each exercise. This is a good, hands-on way to teach the concept of division.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Students explore the concept of graph theory. For this graph theory lesson, students participate in hands-on activities that enforce graph theory. Students manipulate graph applets on the internet. Students create a graphical model of...

Students solve related addition and subtraction problems. In this addition and subtraction lesson, students use the book Ten Sly Piranhas by William Wise as the source of word problems for students to solve.

Students identify the different place values. In this algebra lesson, students represent decimal place values with manipulatives. They identify the correct place value using commas and mathematical reasoning.

Students investigate the creation of three dimensional drawings. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and complete orthographic drawings. They Cabri software to manipulate and move the drawings around.

Creative problem solving is fun and helps kids conceptualize content. They use grid paper, manilla paper, and markers to cut, draw, and show given double-digit numbers as many ways as they can.

Young scholars investigate the concept of manipulating polynomials. They go through the process of using algebra tiles in order to practice grouping of like terms and model the solving process.

Pupils explore the concept of polyhedra. In this polyhedra lesson, students use the Internet to manipulate virtual polyhedra models. Pupils create polyhedra models from straws, toothpicks, cardboard, Plexiglas, and other materials.

First graders identify a whole and the fractions 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 using pizza. This is a very nice lesson, in that not only do students practice their fractions, they also get to eat the pizza at the end of the lesson!

First graders practice manipulating shapes into different locations. They see that even though shapes may look different when they are moved into different locations, the shape remains the same with the same properties. They make...

Students manipulate shapes to find multiple lines of symmetry. They use color to visualize the lines of symmetry.

Students measure the area using feet and yard. For this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

First graders listen to a story, manipulate flannel board figures, and cut soft cookies and paper plates into equal parts.

Fifth graders evaluate data from a circle graph that compares time spent on various activities. They use the computer to manipulate their own data as they compare, examine, create and evaluate data using circle graphs.

Students act out computation problems. In this addition and subtraction lesson plan, students act out an addition story and write an addition sentence for it. Students continue this activity and answer the provided questions.

Students name numbers to 30, use the number keys on the computer, use manipulatives to add, and add numbers in any order. In this addition lesson plan, students learn the language of sum, equals, and a plus sign.

First graders practice number identification by reading a story in class. In this number sense lesson, 1st graders read the story A Wish for Wings that Work and identify objects within the book's photographs. Students count the number of...

How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...
