Elementary schoolers use a function machine in order to help them look at the relationship between input and output, and to look at the rule for the change. The machine is actually a cardboard box, and it serves quite well for the...

Students explore the aspects of a frog's anatomy that allow it to be such a good jumper and jump and record the length of each jump to determine which style of jumping allows them to jump the farthest.

Students explore the concept of counting using music.  In this counting lesson, students use the song "Five Little Frogs" and the felt board set to discover one to one counting.  Students repeat the song as they watch and role...

Middle schoolers perform mathematical operations to create proportional measurements, after listening to the David Schwartz book, If You Hopped Like a Frog.

Students search for and generalize an algebraic pattern. They make and analyze a coordinate graph.

Middle schoolers brainstorm several animal/personal scenarios, select one, and write out an explanation of the comparison. They apply the measurements/characteristics to themselves and use algebraic equations to demonstrate the comparison.

Do these items have the same ratio? Through a learning contract, pupils master proportions by practicing proportions via word problems, graphs, and with manipulatives. An exit ticket checks for understanding at the end of the...

Students discover the importance of NOT getting involved in someone else's fight and NOT to getting others involved in their fights. For this beware of the dogs lesson plan, students read the Bible verse: Proverbs 26:17 and participate...
