Students investigate non-standard linear measurement.  In this cross curriculum measurement instructional activity, students listen to the book Measuring Penny by Loreen Leedy, and identify pages in which non-standard measurement is...

Students investigate city management and government by creating a fictional city in groups.  In this civics lesson, students create rules and a mascot for their fictitious city which they create from poster board cubes....

Students collect and organize data about themselves. In this data analysis lesson, students discuss their favorite calendar dates and explore ways to display the data.

Two activities explore the concept of size, especially small sizes down to the nano. Scholars practice determining volume, mass, and density and calculate exponential increases and decreases. They then predict and test the effect of size...

Stop and drop what is in your hand! Pupils investigate how form effects drag in the 12th part of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups create equally weighted objects and determine which one falls the fastest by collecting data.

Students draw a net (a two-dimensional pattern that can be formed to make a solid) for making an open top box on grid paper. They cut out the net and fold up each side to form the open box and tape the sides, then find the volume of the...

In this volume worksheet, students list the steps they would use to find the volume of different gallon tanks. Students complete 5 measurement problems.

Sixth graders investigate the area of polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, 6th graders calculate area of prisms using geometric formulas. They work with prisms and other rectangular shapes.

Sixth graders investigate surface area.  In this surface area lesson, 6th graders design a box of candy that has a volume of 30 cubic inches.  Students are trying to minimize surface area while keeping volume constant. ...

Fifth graders explore polygons in various shape activities. In this polygons lesson plan, 5th graders discuss and identify polygons by their number of sides. Students sort ceramic tiles by the number of sides on each piece. Students...

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes that...

Young scholars practice addition facts, record data, and construct a bar graph. In this probability lesson, students participate in a board game in which bicycles move towards a finish line based on players completing addition problems....

Fifth graders explore the concepts of range, median, mode, and mean through the use of graphs drawn from models. They use manipulatives to represent data they have collected within their groups, and compare the differences between mode,...

Ninth graders factor equations and find prime numbers. In this algebra instructional activity, 9th graders find the factors and prime factors of a number using multiples and relatively prime numbers.

Learners visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

Second graders identify fractions as part of a set. They explain concrete and symbolic representations of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents in real-world situations. They complete a web-based cookie baking lesson.

First graders listen as the teacher reads a story involving cross-continent traveling. Students collect a random sample by tossing an inflatable globe and recording whether they touch land or water each time they catch the globe in order...

For this algebra worksheet, students get ready for the SAT Exam with-lots of questions dealing with what is on the test. There are interactive answers and immediate feedback. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

Students investigate the relationship between perpendicular and parallel lines on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate lines based on their slopes.

First graders represent, compare, and order numbers. In this counting skills lesson, 1st graders use manipulatives to demonstrate one-to-one correspondence and to represent numbers. This lesson includes a teacher script to guide the lesson.

Students review the concept of measuring length. In groups, they travel to various centers throughout the classroom. They experiment with using different objects to measure the length of items given to them by their teacher. They are...

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Fifth graders solve equations. In this algebraic equations lesson plan, 5th graders use the inverse operation to solve an equation. The teacher reminds students to perform the operation on both sides of the equation. This lesson plan...
