So Fast! So Slow!
Fifth graders give examples of objects that move slow and fast. In this physics lesson, 5th graders rank animals according to how quickly they move. They create a bar graph of organisms versus rates of speed.

Module 6: Congruence, Construction, and Proof
Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Parts of a Set
Calling all fraction novices! Use sets of objects to introduce scholars to fractions before they even have learned about numerators and denominators (but this is a great way to introduce these terms!). The first section has four...

A Mass of Pennies
Learners estimate and determine the number of cents (pennies) that are needed to equal the mass of a variety of common objects. They develop a process for measuring and explore concepts related to units of measurement.

Shapes and Tools
Young learners view different shapes drawn by the teacher on the board. The teacher identifies each shape by name and discusses the importance of knowing the difference between shapes when building something. The pupils complete the...

Recognizing 3-Dimensional Shapes
Three-dimensional shapes are all around us; expose young geometers to this concept as they focus on identifying four figures: cube, prism, sphere, and pyramid. Learners begin by matching four objects to the shape each...

2 More Than
Which one has two more? Each row of objects has a corresponding row, and mathematicians determine which one has two more than the other, checking it off. They work with single-digit values here and should be encouraged to write the...
