Kindergarteners practice basic addition and subtraction. In this math instructional activity, students sing a song about pigs on a farm to help them understand the concept of adding and subtracting things together. Some excellent...

Learners celebrate the 100th day of school with a variety of math and language arts activities based on the number 100. They make books, count objects, and draw their predictions about life 100 years from now. They also estimate the...

Pupils discover the importance of healthy eating. Using food nutrition labels, they read and examine the nutritional value. Students collect the data on a spreadsheet and create a graph. They analyze the media influences on product...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks and fraction identification cards to create and identify fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, 4th graders identify fractions in a pizza, and make fractions with markers.

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Fifth and sixth graders use food and candy to help them represent division of fractions and develop algorithms to solve fraction problems. They discuss dividing whole numbers by fractions. Pupils use sticks and chocolate bars to...

Sixth graders interpret and replicate patterns. In this patterns lesson, 6th graders are given an item with a definite pattern which they must replicate using a calculator or computer and then justify how they relate. Students...

Students examine the art form of Mexican paper cutting and discover how to make a pattern. After reading the book "Look What Came From Mexico", they discuss Mexican folk art and view some samples. Individually they create a Mexican...

In this early childhood math practice worksheet, learners examine 3 patterns and draw the shapes that come next in each. Students also create their own pattern using 2 different shapes and 3 different colors.

Second graders use black and red construction paper to symbolize different one digit numbers that add up to 10. In this sums to 10 lesson plan, 2nd graders discover different combinations and patterns that can lead them to the number 10.

Students create tessellations. In this geometry lesson plan, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

Students extend patterns that are created by their teacher by using jellybeans. In this patterns lesson plan, students use 3 different colored jellybeans.
