Students describe, analyze and generalize relationships, patterns, functions using words. symbols, variables, tables and graphs.

Fifth graders observe a dice, talk about how many sides it has and use that number as the number that would go in the denominator's spot on a fraction. They then discuss what the likelihood is of it landing on 4, and put that number in...

Students count up to 10 or more M & Ms using verbal names and one-to-one correspondence, as well as use sets of M & Ms to represent quantities given in verbal form.

Middle schoolers examine the concept of standard deviation, calculating mean, and collecting data. They measure the standard deviation in a bag of M&M candy, record the data, and calculate the mean.

Students follow directions to make a stained glass window design of regular and irregular polygons with specific geometric elements. For this geometry lesson plan, students also analyze other classmate's designs.

Students discuss shape and number patterns and play a game practicing completing patterns. Then they rotate through five workstations that reinforce the concept of patterning.

Second graders ask questions and design an experiment to explore different spinners in "The Leap Frog" board game. They conduct their experiment, collect information and interpret the results using a graph.

Students sort gingerbread men, then identify the sorting rule that they used.

Fifth graders create mathematical creatures. In this geometry lesson plan, 5th graders create a creature from regular and irregular geometric shapes. Students review vocabulary and construct an original creature based on a rubric.

Students identify, model, and label simple fractions. They describe and define them as equal parts of a whole, a region and a set. Students use words to describe fractions. They use manipulatives to explore the many different fractions.

Students identify the numerator and denominator of a fraction.

Fifth graders examine line, bar and circle graphs in the newspaper and on the Internet. They complete sketches of graphs with an emphasis on selecting the best model to depict the data collected.

First graders use patterns in order to identify and recognize even and odd numbers.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

First graders sort, classify and write about how they sorted their mittens.

First graders, with partners, create and solve math problems using number and unifix cubes.

Third graders identify the different types of lines. They name five new facts about the quilts studied, the women, and community of Gee's Bend and begin to stitch the pieces of the Quilt top together. When finished student put all their...

Students review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Students work with given formulas to solve for specific variables. The calculation of the volume of a cylinder and the change in volume when there is a constant surface area is analyzed in this lesson.

Fourth graders participate in using the terminology of more, less, between, compare, and order. They compare whole numbers and use the symbols for <, >, =. They order whole numbers and practice with problems where they use this...

Students create patterns with shapes and words. In this patterns and shapes activity, students recieve an envelope with shapes with words on them. Students make patterns with the shapes that also create a poem. Students can add to the...

Third graders construct a dodecahedron that displays facts about two and three-dimensional figures. They use a pattern to construct a dodecahedron after writing facts about geometry onto each of the figure's twelve faces.

Students observe and demonstrate the concepts of over, under, and on. Using a cutout of a flower and a butterfly, they identify if the butterfly is over, under, or on the flower. Students complete a worksheet along with the teacher, and...

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the number of solutions to a system of equation. They solve using linear combination and graphing.
