Second graders rotate through a variety of stations designed to offer practice in manipulating data. They sort, tally and count items and then create bar graphs, tables, and pie graphs to record their findings.

Young scholars develop algebraic equations to solve problems involving farm animals. They watch a video, use manipulatives to determine the number of birds and pigs on the farm, and create original problems for their classmates to solve.

Students study fractions with the use of manipulatives. They use Cuisenaire Rods to visualize problems and solve them.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts and combining them into polynomials. The teacher uses direct instruction for delivery. They can use Algebra to make this lesson hands-on for the benefit of kinesthetic learners.

Students explore the concept of misleading statistics. In this misleading statistics lesson, students play a game of tag and graph the number of times each student gets tagged. Students use the graph to determine the fastest runner in...

Students study relationships between angles, side lengths, perimeters, areas and volumes of similar objects. For this lesson students also create and critique inductive and deductive arguments concerning congruency, similarity and the...

Students explore the concepts of multiple digit addition and subtraction. In this addition and subtraction lesson, students read the book You Can’t Buy a Dinosaur with a Dime and then discuss methods for solving a particular math...

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Rational expressions are just fancy fractions! Pupils apply fractions concepts to rational expressions. They find equivalent expressions by simplifying rational expressions using factoring. They include limits to the domain of the...

Zero in on your pupils' understanding of solving quadratic equations. Spend time developing the purpose of the zero product property so that young mathematicians understand why the equations should be set equal to zero and how that...

Looking for a different approach to triangle congruence criteria? Employ transformations to determine congruent triangles. Learners list the transformations required to map one triangle to the next. They learn to identify congruence...

Eighth graders investigate how to combine polynomials using different operations. The use of tiles is done in order to accommodate those who are kinesthetic learners. The sequencing of the lesson is easy to follow.

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Learners explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students perform various probability experiments including flipping a coin, picking m&m's out of a bag, and the birthday problem.

First graders practice subtraction with manipulatives. In this subtraction lesson, 1st graders use M&M's to count and then take away. They write number sentences to match their subtraction problems.

Students investigate orthographic drawings. In this geometry activity, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

Students investigate ratios of various objects.  In this ratios of various objects lesson, students draw pictures on graph paper and then dilate or shrink the image.  Students determine the ratio of their pictures. ...

Students notice a number pattern in the book The Rabbit Problem by Emily Gravett. For this number pattern lesson, students represent and describe numbers appropriate to their grade level.

Learners solve area problems.  In this area, circumference, and perimeter lesson, students solve area and perimeter problems using standard and metric units of measure.  They identify the best customary unit of measure for a...

Students investigate triangles and congruences. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. They differentiate between similar and congruent triangles.

Learners identify the ratios of trig functions. In this trigonometry lesson, students construct triangles and use it to derive the values of sine, cosine and tangent. They use Cabri software to create the visual of the identities.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry instructional activity, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired...

Students find the mean, median and mode. In hs statistics lesson, students collect, plot and analyze data. The identify the effect the central tendency have on the data and line.
