Fourth graders explore dividing equally. They divide three-digit divisors by one and two digit divisors. Students work real life division problems. They examine possible solutions to each problem.

Students explore one-to-one correspondence. Through activities, students examine rhythm and patterns. From the patterns discovered, students create a visual representation of the pattern with blocks.

The class explores even and odd numbers.They discuss the results when even numbers are added and when odd numbers are added together. Then work in pairs to find other odd and even pattern examples.

Seventh graders use ideas of uncertainty to illustrate that mathematics involves more than exactness when dealing with every day situations. The main standard of this lesson is statistics and probability.

Students will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the mode...

Fourth graders use triangle paper to design patterns using geometric figures and find the areas of those figures by counting units. Students are assessed by determining which figure has the greatest area and explaining their reasoning.

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.

Students work in small groups to explore spatial relationships while building with color cubes. Students must identify positions of blocks to partner, recreate a model, and color a sketch of their structure appropriately.

Students explore time by comparing the duration of an egg timer with how many pegs they can put in a pegboard. They experience one on one correspondence, as they place a peg in the whole. Students discover estimation of time and number...

Students match match one notice with one child for all children in their group. They will determine the correct number of notices needed by for the children in their group. Through activities, students discover one-to-one correspondence...

Learners use manipulatives to establish quantity. By singing a song titled "Five Little Cookies," students determine which strategy to use to find out how many cookies are left in the bakery shop.

Students will examine solids to determine which has the least surface area. They will also understand the use of units, square units, and cubic units. There is also the teaching and application of geometry formulas to perform calculations.

Pupils complete activities to learn notation and uses for positive and negative numbers. In this number system lesson, learners play a game similar to Jeopardy to learn how to solve problems with positive and negative numbers.

Seventh graders practice combining decimals and fractions to find sums which are either greater than 4 or less than 5. Students first approximate the value of each fraction and decimal, then they look for combinations to fit the guidelines.

If you have or can create a set of tiles, numbered one through eight, then you can implement this hands-on lesson about probability models. Individuals draw a tile from a bag, record its number, and then return it to the bag. They...

Students will display the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle and discuss in their groups what patterns they see in the rows of numbers. They will give responses and discuss that these numbers form what is called Pascal's Triangle.

Students explore solving addition and subtraction problems. They solve real life problems. Students participate in a simulation activity to find the missing addend. They demonstrate adding and subtracting whole numbers.

Seventh graders explore number sentences using a variety of strategies making each equation a true sentence. Students examine strategies such as patterns, trial and error, working backwards, and related problems. In groups, 7th graders...

What special relationships exist in right triangles? In the high school performance task, learners investigate Pythagorean triples. They then determine rules for the perimeter and area of right triangles given the shortest side.

Tenth graders identify the trigonometric ratios for right angled triangles. Through independent investigation, they discover the constancy between the ratios of any two sides of similar triangles. In an alternative method, 10th graders...

Students investigate integers and solve problems using integers. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems to help improve speed and accuracy of mental math. They develop a deeper knowledge of the way integers are used on a daily...

First graders investigate numerals and size by ranking different numbers based upon value. In this number sense lesson, 1st graders practice using the terms smaller, larger, less and more in order to organize numbers on a number line....
