Students complete various activities for probability. In this probability lesson, students use coins, cubes, peanut butter and jelly, playing cards, number cubes, darts, and a Gauss Curve to study probability. Students must orally...

Fifth graders explore and examine how to make organized lists and find patterns to help them solve problems. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numerical patterns involving operations of whole...

Students read the story Lilly's Big Day and do language arts and math activities based on the book. In this language arts and math lesson plan, students read the book given and do activities that include matching activities, number...

Students use red and blue litmus paper to determine the category of common substances. They then set up an experiment using vinegar, water, and ammonia (or milk of magnesia) to determine that acids make the best solution for dyeing...

Students gather and organize data. In this radioactive decay curve lesson, students gather data as they follow the provided procedures for rolling dice. Students chart their data and examine interval results.

Students explore counting and graphing. In this math lesson plan, students practice counting from 1-25 and are exposed to two types of graphs: the pie graph and the bar graph. Students use Skittles to represent a variety of measurements.

Fourth graders perform probability experiments. In this math lesson, 4th graders complete a penny toss to evaluate and graph the combinations of outcomes. In a second activity, students draw M&Ms out of a bag and graph results. In a...

Students collect and analyze voltage data. In this math lesson, students investigate exponential functions using the TI and a Voltage Probe. They graph their data and analyze it using a table.

Eighth graders find ways to use math everyday. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model equation and problem solving as they multiply and divide numbers. They split up in to groups as they perform hands on operations. 

Fifth graders experience a lesson to investigate the methods for finding the area of a circle. They use the drawing of segments in order to visualize how a circle can be proposed of many parts. Then students brainstorm in order to derive...

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Students use tiles to find area. In this finding area lesson, students explore how to use square tiles to make shapes, then look at how they can be used to measure area. Students then explore how an area can be covered with different...

Students examine the life of Henry J. Heinz and how he began his career in food service. For this economic history lesson plan,students study how Henry J. Heinz started his business. Students will create and...

Students are able to convert large numbers into meaningful ratios. They are able to conceptualize 1 million. Students grapple with the concept of a million. They use this activity to convey the idea of millions by converting war death...

Third graders come up with a career for each letter of the alphabet.

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Help your students to identify even and odd numbers. In this number sense lesson, they read the book Madeline and use counters to identify which number has a "partner." Learners write down odd and even numbers on a whiteboard.

Demonstrate several ways to represent data with your class. They will use surveys to gather data and display the data using tally charts and graphs. Then answer questions according to the data.

Students use geometric shapes to describe body parts. In this geometry instructional activity, students use geometry vocabulary as they discuss body parts. They practice drawing bodies using shapes based on a wooden model that is poised...

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...

Young scholars design their own playground equipment. In this design instructional activity, students take pictures of equipment they like and make a class pictograph of their favorite ones. They investigate the design, research...

Examine wood bugs and their habitat. Learners gather wood bugs and examine their bodies. Then discuss their body parts and how they help them survive. They also predict where they think wood bugs live to then graph the class results.

Students examine each level of the food pyramid and how many servings they should consume during the day. They study the important nutrients associated with each category of the food pyramid.

Student observe the effect soap (or detergent) has on the movement of food color in milk. Pupils observe the properties of solids and liquids while making butter. They read a poem, Shaking, and listen for ryhming words. Studdents...
