Students review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

Students develop an equation for finding the volume of a commonly known piece of candy (M&M, Hershey's Kiss, Tootsie Roll Pop, Life Saver, etc.) by using calculus.

Students complete computer activities about estimating if items are more or less than a given amount. In this estimation lesson plan, students also estimate measurements around the classroom.

In this geometry worksheet, students create a map that uses various geometrical concepts. The final project is the creation of a "geometrical town." Rubric for grading is included.

Students explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

Students conduct a review that is done right before having a geometry quiz. They cover major topics that are part of the assessment. They use review cards as notes to pass to one another to reinforce the concepts before putting them away...

Students take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Learners practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Second graders get many opportunities to practice their measurement skills.

Students participate in an estimation activity to determine the length of a hallway or to estimate how many people can fit in the school stadium or gym.

Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.

In this geometry learning exercise, students solve a total of 8 word problems. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Fifth graders determine which container made from a single sheet of paper has the greatest volume. They look the solutions made by three different students before working on their own examples.

Students display knowledge of line of symmetry by designing a geometric stained glass window pattern.

Second graders design a successful kite for Kite Day.

Second graders, in groups, prepare a list of proposed record ideas for the class book.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

Students work together to convert scale dimensions to determine the true size of the International Space Station. They create a full-scale outline of the station. They share their layout with the class.

Second graders investigate rice or gohan as it's called in Japan in a couple of experiments. They tally the results.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video and attempt practice problems on the area and perimeter of rectanlges and squares.

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at area and perimeter and how math is involved in the operations of a ranch. The accompanying interactive component lets students investigate a variety of rectangles to get a target...

Compare the areas and perimeters of rectangles when given a context or picture. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this exercise, students practice comparing area and perimeter. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a tutorial video, get hints, and try questions repeatedly.
