Fifth graders review as a class how to do a two-digit multiplication problem. They discover that they are going to use M & M's to use in math problems and brainstorm how they are going to do that. They work on multiplication problems...

Students practice regrouping using the wonderful manipulative - unifix cubes. Once they have a tactile understanding of regrouping, students complete 5 worksheets containing addition problems that require regrouping. The worksheets...

Second graders use cards to create 3-digit addition problems and add them together. In this addition lesson plan, 2nd graders add numbers with and without regrouping. Students use a deck of cards to play an addition game in pairs. A very...

Learners solve problems using sine and cosine. In this precalculus lesson, students solve word problems using sine and cosine. They identify where it is appropriate to laws of sine and cosine and where to use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Seventh graders practice writing and solving expressions involving negative exponents. The teacher uses an overhead projector to do example problems while lecturing to the students. They use notes taken in class to help do the...

The teacher conducts a survey of each student's favorite color. The teacher then creates a pie chart identifying the information gathered. The students display mastery by creating their own pie chart displaying the same information.

Third graders investigate liquid measurements by estimating how many cups it takes to fill containers. The students predict the liquid measurements and then find the actual amount using the water in a bucket. Students then compare...

Students work with decimals. In this decimal lesson, students participate in a hands-on group activity that enable them to review to how to appropriately add and subtract decimals.

Students utilize "Judy Clocks" in order to explore the concepts of time and elapsed time. In this solid activity on time, students complete a worksheet on elapsed time, using their Judy Clocks to help them keep track of the time. A good,...

Young scholars participate in designing a city layout using grids and coordinates. They work on a city space and create a grid on a life size layout on the gym floor.

Young scholars explore various aspects of design innovation. For this design lesson, links are provided to three innovations from the Design for the Other 90% Web site in order for students to study and evaluate them. Young scholars are...

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.

Pupils 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.

Students solve problems using sine and cosine. In this precalculus lesson, students apply the properties of sine and cosine to solve non-right triangle problems. They use Heron's Law to find the area of a shape.

Second graders culminate their study of shapes by describing the shapes using the proper mathematical descriptors.

Tenth graders explore the exterior and interior angles of triangles. They use a theorem in order to prove a theorem about all polygons. Students use the theorem and its applications to find the angles of different types of triangles.

Students research destinations and the factors involved in taking a trip and explore how averages play a part in making decisions. They explore how to find the average speed and the distance to a particular destination, they estimate...

Students explore the concept of scale and ratio.  In this scale and ratio lesson, students work in groups to measure a given space such as a hallway, office, or gym.  Students measure their area using a meter stick. ...
