Students use their Halloween candy to practice sorting and classifying. They compete a Venn diagram comparing their candy wrappers. They develop ways as a class to catorgize the candy in different ways.

Students investigate relationships among fractions and use cut out pizzas and fraction circles to compare equivalent fractions. They exchange fractional parts of construction paper pizza circles to use as many different fractional parts...

Third graders investigate unusual bats and draw their own interpretation of the bat. They use rhyming words to write a creative story about bats. Facial features of microbats and megabats are observed and then classfied in groups.

Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

In this health and diet instructional activity, students ask ten of their friends what their favorite vegetables are. Then they tally their votes and shade them in on the graph provided.

In this counting book worksheet, students complete a 21 page book with an apple tree theme. Students read the sentence telling how many apples the tree should have and cut and paste apples to match that number. There is one tree for each...

Fifth graders use Cuisenaire rods in order to discover how to represent fractions with real objects. In this lesson on fractions, 5th graders first examine and learn the colors, lengths, and numerical values of each rod; then, students...

Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.

Learners graph linear equations and then find the person in class whose linear equation graph is perpendicular to theirs. For this graphing inequalities lesson plan, students graph their perpendicular slopes and then once their find...

In this metric system worksheet, students follow the directions on how to make a metric flip book. Students complete 6 pages in the book.

Students define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

Students identify the slope of a line given two points on the line. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations by finding and comparing slopes of lines. They differentiate between the steepness of the slope and the line.

Learners read books, learn about the letter f, play with plastic toys, and more to do with frogs. In this frogs lesson plan, students also play a game of leap frog.

Fifth graders explore fractions of whole numbers as they make fraction bead necklaces.

Students create paper quilts of their own using the isometric grid that tessellates the plane or the fraction quilt square.

Fourth graders conduct an experiment involving size and relative ability in smaller species using Madagascar cockroaches. They make predictions about how many pennies the roaches can pull, compare the results to human strength, and...

Students create different shapes on grid paper.  In this two-dimensional geometry lesson plan, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper.  They identify all shapes they see once everyone has...

Fourth graders use graph paper to make models of perfect squares. They be given a word problem in a worksheet imbedded in this plan. They may work in small groups or work alone to figure out the answer.

Sixth graders compare distances between objects in the solar system. They investigate how light years are measured and when using them to measure how distances compare with one another. They write an essay exploring the possibility of...

Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

Students explore the seasons. In this winter and summer lesson plan, students read The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats and Summer by Maria Ruis. Students compare the 2 seasons as they create t-charts, try on seasonal clothing, and create...

Students complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. In this weather report lesson, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a month. Students...

In this biography/autobiography activity, students read a few biographies and discuss the term and it's characteristics. Students then brainstorm what makes a good biography/autobiography and create an 'All about me' poster....
