Students complete a number of practical measuring investigations, with an emphasis on accuracy of measuring and communication of their findings. They examine how to measure by first becoming aware of the physical attributes of objects...

Fifth graders find perimeters, areas, and volumes of everyday objects and state the precision. They work in small groups in order to take measurements, perform calculations, and write a group report about the investigation.

49Students investigate the properties of right triangles. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing angles and sides.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

Students classify objects. In this math instructional activity, students sort and classify objects based on their characteristics. Students identify characteristics of objects.

In this investigating functions worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 18 different problems. First, they graph each equation on the graphs shown. Then, students make a rough sketch of graph on a coordinate plane. They also determine...

Students investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Students investigate the Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students solve for different parts of a right triangle. They identify the missing side or angle using the pythagorean theorem.

Students discover which learning style works best for them in a math setting. In this math comprehension lesson, students create different combinations of numbers that equal the sum of 11. Students determine if they are better visual,...

Students investigate the mathematical patterns of the Fibonacci Sequence. They determine how math is connected to music, specifically looking at music the uses the pattern sequence found in the Fibonacci Sequence.

Fifth graders investigate factors by utilizing mathematical terms.   In this number sense instructional activity, 5th graders discuss and define terms such as factors, multiples, and denominators.  Students create a Venn...

Fourth graders draw pictures and diagrams as they attempt to solve a mathematical problem involving the arrangement of eleven tables shaped like equilateral triangles and the seating of exactly twenty-five people.

Third graders demonstrate models to represent a 3 digit counting number. They use manipulative materials to represent place value in whole numbers. Students represent numbers in expanded notation.

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 instructional activity 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.

Pupils 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.

Young scholars 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...

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...

Young scholars 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.
