In this unit designed for second graders, youngsters are introduced to conducting surveys and creating tally charts based on the data they gather. Students then construct bar graphs, and observe the relationships between the two...

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Learners classify items and numbers by using a Venn diagram. In this Venn diagram lesson plan, students use the computer to do this and classify pictures and numbers.

Students define matter, the chemical properties of matter, and the physical properties of matter. They name physical and chemical properties of matter (by classifying using a Tree Map). Students determine the mass, volume, and density of...

Students study directional skills and participate in a scavenger hunt to find flowers. They compare, group and classify the flowers by their similarities and differences.

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Learners explore pyramids. In this math lesson, students discuss where they have seen examples of pyramids. Learners classify pyramids as three-dimensional figures and identify their attributes.

Students sort and count objects. In this sorting skills lesson, students work in small group with various objects that can be sorted and counted in groups.

Students investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

Students explore water properties by conducting a class experiment. In this buoyancy lesson, students make predictions as to whether or not specific objects will sink or float in water. Students conduct the experiment and record their...

Pupils sort, classify, and write about how they sort a variety of shells.

Young scholars demonstrate knowledge of sorting and classifying by color as they sort gummy bear candies.

Young scholars use Venn diagrams to represent classifications of shapes and to use counting arguments to find the number of objects in a given set.

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students classify, weight and organize items during this lesson. This lesson works great as or with an introduction of the Periodic Table of Elements.

Students, after making quantitative and qualitative observations of their rocks, construct a Venn diagram or dichotomous key to classify their rocks.

Students explore weight. For this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Students examine how to take a sample by looking at rocks in the schoolyard. In this sampling lesson, students discuss ways to classify rocks by color, size, and weight. They think about how many rocks would make a good sample of...

Students participate in a nature walk to learn about their natural environments. In this nature study lesson plan, students brainstorm a list of things to look for on their nature walk. Students go on the nature walk and locate objects...

Students apply higher level thinking skills to determine rules for sorting and classification. In this pre-algebra lesson plan, students nominate classmates who they think satisfy the unspoken "rule" established by the leader. As...

Students explore one to one number correspondence. In this early math lesson, students make observations about and classify plants in order to gain an understanding of using numbers to describe their world.

Second graders explore and analyze plane shapes. In this plane shapes instructional activity, 2nd graders evaluate shape attributes to classify shapes correctly. Students work in groups to create different shapes.

Students sort, classify and write about what characteristics they used to sort fish counters.
