Second graders graph data based on a class survey of their favorite breakfast foods. In this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders take a class survey of their favorite breakfast foods. Then they take that data and put it into a computer...

Students study of how much electricity is used in their home and the actual cost for the electricity. They create a realistic conservation plan for their home focusing on the areas that tend to use a great deal of electricity....

Students use Internet software, The Difference Bar, to work out the difference between two numbers by breaking numbers into parts. Students use mental strategies to work out the difference between any 2 two-digit numbers. Students...

Young scholars use an Internet tool, The Take-Away Bar" to solve subtraction problems. They use mental strategies to subtract a two-digit number from a larger two-digit number. Students write and solve subtraction problems. They...

Students take pictures of items related to parent functions around the school. In this parent functions instructional activity, students take photos of an item that has a shape of one of the parent functions that they studied in class....

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...

Students use the lesson, "Squirt", to support students' development of multiplicative thinking. Squirt encourages students to anticipate multiplicative measurement relationships, e.g. three measures of A fit in B, by partially filling a...

Learners use an Internet tool, "The Take-Away Bar" to solve subtraction problems by breaking them into parts. They write and solve comparison problems. Students make sensible estimates and check the reasonableness of answers. They use...

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.

Students participate in paper recycling. They are taught to environmental awareness of recycling and its importance in their future. Students discuss and identify the problems of how they can minimize waste. They brainstorm suggestions...

Young scholars utilize a trajectory formula in order to discover the physics of a thrown ball.  In this physics lesson plan, students videotape the trajectory of a thrown ball or basketball shot and analyze the action by breaking...

Third graders estimate the volume and mass of one marshmallow using appropriate standard units. They design and carry out an investigation to find the average of volume/mass of one marshmallow.

Ninth graders experiment with paper folding to create geometrical shapes. Students analyze the Copymaster of the problem. After the students have worked on their own for a while, stop them and discuss.

Third graders are introduced to the problem with a short discussion about parking. They then solve with a partner. As they work ask questions that focus on the strategies they are using to make the calculations.

Students complete the following problem by using logic: Three couples, the Smiths, the Jones and the Browns wanted to go to the Brown's yacht that was moored a little way out in the lake. There was a dinghy to take them to the yacht but...

Students attempt a problem that Students has the potential to have more than one solution. Hence the problem is accessible to a wide range of students. The problem is essentially about finding patterns and this is typical of a number of...

Students discover how to estimate the age of redwood trees. They measure the trees' diameters by using string to calculate the circumferences. Students conclude by discussing the science of dendrochronolgy.

Students are introduced to the topic of estimation. Using various methods, they estimate and calculate the answers with the use of a calculator. They develop a practice to always estimate answers involving percentages and use a...

Young scholars explore ratios and their relationships to fractions. They explain the process of identifying ratios and describe their comparison. Students write ratios as fractions and by using colons. They convert the ratios to...

Learners notice differences between frogs and turtles. For this frog themed lesson, students review what frogs are and practice counting to five with the help of music and a coloring worksheet.
