Students are introduced to basic aerodynamics through a discussion of thrust and drag and a hands-on activity. They examine the forces of thrust, drag, air pressure, aerodynamic shapes and Newton's Third Law Of Motion.

Students study graphs and learn how to display information into a graph. In this graph lesson plan, students construct a graph of their own sorted data, and pick out things in graphs that are inconsistent.

Students investigate the components of volume and use appropriate units and procedures to calculate the volume of several household boxes.

Students create a set of fraction circles using a paper folding technique. They fold 10 inch circles of paper into the indicated fractions, identify the fractions, and use them to show equivalency.

Students each receive a copy of the story problem worksheet. They read the story problems and think about them. They come up with a solution and solve the word problems, correcting if necessary.

Learners use their five senses to experience different types of rocks. In groups, they compare and contrast the information they collected. They observe rocks in their local community and describe their uses to the class.

Students explore the concept of symmetry by drawing an the other half of an object. They pick from a stack of magazine pictures and draw it on another piece of paper.

Students review plane figures by playing a game that resembles "Twister." They listen to directions to locate a large example of the figure which is placed on the floor.

Students are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...

Pupils use economic reasoning to analyze both the short-term and long-term benefits and opportunity costs of educational choices, identify incentives that may influence students' career decisions and solve an "economic mystery"

Fourth graders examine about traditional quilting patterns, the symmetry in such patterns, and practice creating patterns of their own. They design a quilting pattern, and groups make colorful "patches," of a pattern. They assemble the...

Young scholars receive 10 M & M's to study about fractions. As a class, they divide the ten M & M's into a half. They then take away two and use the eight M & M's to study about fourths. They also use nine to study about thirds.

Students conduct an experiment. In this movement lesson plan, students see how far a marble will roll after coming down a ramp. The students change the height of the ramp to make it roll faster and record their results.

First graders practice place value by completing problems that allow them to group 10 items together to create groups of 10 and see what is left over. In this place value lesson plan, 1st graders use cups to put 10 items in them, and...

Learners create a reading nook. In this measurement lesson, students find a spot in the classroom to turn into a reading nook. They need to measure how much space they need to fit learners and supplies into their nook. 

Students learn how to measure the diameter and circumference of a circle. In this circle lesson, students organize their data to create a graph. Students utilize their graph to make an inference about the slope of pi.

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this gravitational force instructional activity, students define several scientific terms associated with force. Students utilize a styrofoam cup and marbles to simulate a...

Students use input / output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They use patterns and relations to represent and analyze mathematical situations using algebraic symbols.

Young scholars use ClarisWorks to graph class' favorite candy bars on a bar graph.

Students explore various careers that involve math.

Third graders identify the phases of the moon. They use technology to access websites on the Internet dealing with the moon.

Students conduct research on various endangered animals. They conduct Internet research, create a bookmark with information about their selected animal, and sell the bookmarks to raise money for an organization dedicated to endangered...

Fifth graders utilize input/output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They incorporate patterns, number sequences and relations to represent and analyze mathematical problems and number relationships using algebraic symbols.

Students determine how they will finance their postsecondary education. In this student loan lesson, students create spreadsheets that help them budget their first year of college. Students identify methods to fund the budgets and...
