In this numbers worksheet, students complete 12 tasks related to even and odd numbers. Students complete 12 different tasks that push them to think critical about the number operations they are performing. THis worksheet would be a great...

Students work collaboratively to determine how many crackers are in a large container. They then view a video to see how often people use estimation in their jobs, and another video to watch students work on figuring out appropriate...

Students develop number sense up to a million.  In this developing number sense up to a million instructional activity, students count their breaths in given time span.  Students use blocks representing 10's and 100's to create...

In this probability worksheet, students solve 5 problems, finding odds of certain months of school excursions. Answers are included on page 2.

In this images activity, students use different sized mirrors to determine how many angles and images are reflected. Students complete 5 sets of directions.

Take a closer look at increasing and decreasing behavior by zooming in on graphs. An AP® Calculus reference document examines how increasing/decreasing behavior should be considered in terms of intervals rather than points. The resource...

Elementary schoolers explore the concepts associated with comparison shopping, and the concept of need versus want. They also look closely at the power of advertising and become more aware of the messages that ads present. After taking...

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

I hate doing laundry, even if it is an independent living skill that requires me to count money, follow a sequence, and sort clothing by color. Learners with multiple disabilities discuss what laundry is, why they need to do it, and how...

Class members complete activities related to the story "Oklahoma Stone Soup." First, pupils read, discuss, and answer questions about the story. Next, to incorporate math into the lesson, learners make stone soup using a variety of...

Students explore the culture of the Mayans through a variety of activities. In this activity about Maya, students analyze pictures in books and on websites, produce scale models of Maya architecture, and create Maya mosaics. Students...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Teach your class a thing or two about making educated mathematical guesses. Learners read a passage that explains estimation and approximate and exact answers. They then respond to five questions about and related to the text.

Compare graphing an inequality in one variable on a number line to graphing an inequality in two variables on a coordinate plane. Young mathematicians work on a puzzle matching inequalities and their solutions. They then complete a...

Fifth graders participate in a lesson that is concerned with the mastery of math concepts related to probability. They play a math game that is an adaptation from Rock, Paper, and Scissors.

Learners explore logic and use Geometer’s Sketchpad and patterns of logic to solve a puzzle.

Eighth graders explore sequences. They discuss the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric pattern. Students participate in workstation activities where they determine arithmetic or geometric patterns and predict the...

Students read about the background of geometry in general to tap prior knowledge of the fundamentals. Then they use an application activity of measuring that is online and interactive for the student.

Students discover how air can move things by using their breath. In this physics lesson, students hypothesize then attempt to move a pencil 1 meter using nothing but their breath. Students record data from their experiment including...

Here is a very interesting way of studying triangles and polygons. Pupils work together and use pieces of string to create a variety of shapes. Depending on how many kids are manipulating the string at any one time, the number of...

Help learners determine the rate of change for the temperature of sand. They will collect data on the temperature of wet and dry sand over time with a heat lamp overhead. Then make a scatter plot of the data and find a linear model to...

Junior geologists sort rocks and soil. They separate a sample of river gravel by size, shape, color, and other characteristics. To include Common Core standards, you could have little ones graph the number of particles in each sample.

Youngsters search for an animal with body parts for each number from one to ten during a field trip to an aquarium. They count rays, fins, feet, gills, eyes, spots or anything. When they get back to the classroom, they compile their...

If you think you can do better, feel free to give it a try. Pupils learn about the work on Temple Grandin and consider ways to improve animal handling facilities. They work in groups to build models to showcase their ideas.
