Learners analyze and classify sets of pictures using a mathematical classification system and create original works of Art Deco tiles using this new knowledge and four types of symmetry.

Help your young mathematicians completely master 10 by practicing one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, and recording numbers displayed. They make 10 with groups of two-different colored cubes and color in 10-frames to show how...

Learners study acute triangles. They measure angles using a protractor, then classify the triangles as either right, obtuse, or acute. Everyone creates a design for a Navajo rug using only acute triangles.

How can you see a number in nature? Here, learners discover both Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio by exploring a number of different resources.  Note: Some of the resources are older and may be missing some of the links, but...

Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data instructional activity, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean,...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Use a worksheet to go over the basic concepts of relations and functions. Included are clear definitions and examples of relations, domain and range, and functions and the vertical line test.  However, the problems are pretty...

Students practice grouping skills by sorting footwear of the class as a whole group. Activity can be extended by having individual students sort a variety of colored items using a sorting mat.

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...

Examine a coordinated geometry grid to decode the hidden message. Pupils write a coded message to their parents using letter coordinates from the grid.

First graders use Cuisenaire rods to study the mathematical symbols =, <, > for the relationships is equal to, is less than, and is greater than. They use the rods to show visual explanations of common number combinations.

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...

First graders listen as the book, "Try It With Triangles" is read to the class. They name the geometric shapes that they see in the story and view the Shape Vocabulary Cards as they name them from the book. They then cut out the...

Young scholars explore how objects stay the same size and only "look" like they change when closer are farther from the object. They sequence aerial photos and satellite images from closest to farthest.

Most young mathematicians are aware that the planets don’t orbit the sun in a circle but rather as an ellipse, but have never studied this interesting feature. This resource looks at the planetary orbits in more detail and helps learners...

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...

Ask elementary students to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show and...

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

In this statistics lesson, learners use an on-line form generator create a class-specific form, then complete the form, view a graph and data analysis, and draw conclusions.

Visit the Magic Treehouse and take your class on a trip through time with a reading of the children's book Mummies in the Morning. Using the story to spark an investigation into Egyptian culture, this literature unit engages...

Fifth graders study math patterns and relationships as well as learn about the heritage of Aboriginal peoples of Saskatchewan. In this patterns and heritage lesson, 5th graders research the daily lives of First Nations People in...

Fourth graders use the concept of number patterns to complete a portion of Pascal's Triangle as well as identify and describe the patterns represented.

Pupils use diagrams or lists to show relationships. They also identify the pattern of triangular numbers. The mathematics behind situations provide a way of problem solving to examine the answers.

Students act out the start of the given problem. They then brainstorm for ways to solve the problem and share solutions to the problem by identifying and continuing a repeating number pattern.
