Students graph and solve equations and expressions. In this algebra lesson, students use simple factorization to simplify expressions. They review for an exam by doing basic algebra.

Students solve problems using the order of operation. For this algebra lesson, students factor, subtract, add and divide using the correct order to remove parentheses. They simplify expressions by combining like terms.

Students define equations and expressions. For this algebra lesson, students review important vocabulary words to do with equations and solving problems. They simplify equations and expressions using addition, subtraction, multiplication...

Sixth graders explore the concept of order of operations. In this order of operations instructional activity, 6th graders view a powerpoint about order of operations in society. Students post on a blog about order of operations.

High schoolers explore the Method of Solution. They identify the components of the Method of Solution. Students develop the method of solution for a project that includes how the computer will be used, the mathematical equations needed...

Students explore the definitions of segment and distance. They perform hands-on activities to form a segment and examine distance. Following teacher guidance, they construct congruent line segments. Independently, they find the...

Second graders practice with fractions and fact families. For this fractions and fact families lesson, 2nd graders participate in a series of activities to assist them with understanding fractions.  Activities include graphing,...

Third graders are introduced to how to divide by 3 and 4. They are told that are going to use the same procedures as they did on yesterday, except with new divisors. Students turn their attention to the Paddle Problem on page 206 of...

Learners identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.

Students explore number sequence in a variety of activities. In this number practice lesson, students play a game of finger flash and read the book Counting Crocodiles. Students discuss the counting elements in the book and chart the...

Students investigate concepts of working with fractions. They compare different fractions and put them in chronological order. The quantities are compared as either being larger or smaller also.

Third graders relate the process of division to subtracting equal groups. Through guided practice and teacher demonstration, they complete division problems using a subtraction method. Students complete problems independently for...

Students compare and order greater numbers. For this place value lesson, students use a place-value chart to identify which set of numbers has the greatest value.

Fourth graders create mandalas. In this mandala lesson, 4th graders look at these polygons in nature and man-made forms. They create their own by using tangrams.

Students identify and compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning to family activities and needs. They draw an accurate floor plan--either existing or a work in progress to scale. Then, students roughly sketch their bedroom...

Students listen to the book, "The Grouchy Ladybug" by Eric Carle and sequence the events in the story. Using a graph, they draw and color the animals that the ladybug meets next to the corresponding time from the story, and conduct...

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

Young scholars analyze patterns of exponential models by collecting data in paper folding and M&M investigations. They use graphing calculators to create scatter plots that lead to equations for the exponential models. They then...

Students surf the Web gathering information about graphs. The data collected is incorporated into an Excel spreadsheet and graphs of varying nature generated to further enhance student understanding.

Students study types of transportation. In this transportation lesson, students survey several classes to gather data on how they get to school. Students create a transportation graph.

Students explore statistics by completing a graphing activity. In this data analysis lesson, students define a list of mathematical vocabulary terms before unpacking a box of raisins. Students utilize the raisins to plot data on a line...

Learners explore geometry by analyzing different shapes. In this shape identification lesson, students discuss the characteristics that make certain shapes unique and the same characteristics that cause shapes to look the same. Learners...

Fifth graders explore the strategies to solve word problems using multiplication and division.  In this problem solving instructional activity, 5th graders recognize the relationship between multiplication and division to solve...

Third graders take poll and sort data, enter the data to create a spreadsheet and create bar and pie graphs.
