Explore the concept of "how many times" where the word "times" is defined. Learners will determine the product and quotient in a word problem. Then use manipulatives to solve the problem. Finally, they will write in their math journals...

Young mathematicians put one foot in front of the other as they learn how to measure length in an elementary math lesson. Using paper cutouts of their own feet, children measure classroom objects as they discover the importance of...

What do animated videos have to do with mathematics? Using operations of complex numbers and their representations on the complex plane, high schoolers observe how mathematics could be used to move animations. The lesson...

Help your math class understand variables. This activity is for a visual learner. They will use weights and a balance scale to show how the sides of an equation are equal. Worksheet is included.

Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

Learning how to regroup can be a difficult concept to learn, as well as teach. This PowerPoint does an excellent job at visualizing the process with step-by-step guidelines and base ten animations. There are multiple examples for...

Third graders record in their journals the many ways in which mathematics is part of their world.

Learners identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.

Students work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare and...

In this isosceles triangles worksheet, students justify and determine the symmetry of an isosceles triangle. They explore the bisector of rectangles. This three-page worksheet contains two problems. Answers are listed on page three.

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers graph the functions on parallel axes and observe the location of the slope point in relation to the x and y axes.

Second graders write a Math Moments journal.

Fourth graders use manipulatives to practice math patterns.

In this everyday math learning exercise, 5th graders read short paragraphs regarding the environment and solve to make their decisions.  Students respond to 5 short answer questions explaining their reasoning in the spaces provided.

Students investigate the concept of the number one million. In this number concepts lesson, students read the book How Much is a Million? and brainstorm questions, such as "how many leaves are on a tree" and "how many hairs are on your...

Candy is always an effective motivator! A fun math activity uses M&M's and Skittles to explore two-way frequency tables and conditional probability. The candy can serve a dual purpose as manipulatives and experimental data.

Young mathematicians draw, create, and describe different shapes using triangles. They discuss attributes of the original and created shapes. Pupils classify the created shapes and draw and write in mathematics journals to communicate...

Piece by piece young scholars build a basic understanding of fractions in a Common Core-designed elementary math lesson. Through a series of hands-on activities and journaling exercises, and with the help of multiple...

Math is all about finding solutions and connections you didn't expect! Young mathematicians often first discover nonlinear patterns when graphing quadratic functions. The lesson begins with the vocabulary of a quadratic graph and uses...

Mathematicians calculate the area of a tangram piece without using formulas. They use a geometry journal to record activities during this instructional activity. They make a set of tangrams and use them to...

How can you tell how many thirds are in a whole? Or twelfths? Use a fraction strips worksheet to visualize how many parts are in one whole.

Use several shapes to practice finding the perimeter and area. Each page presents examples of different items, including money, the floor plan of a room, and a parking lot.

Scholars construct three-dimensional figures to study dimension and side views. Learners build models using linking cubes to match views of different sides. After practicing with models, they attempt to match three-dimensional drawings...
