Students gain an understanding of probability and make reasonable estimations.

Second graders practice with fractions and fact families. In this fractions and fact families lesson, 2nd graders participate in a series of activities to assist them with understanding fractions.  Activities include graphing,...

Fifth graders calculate the diameters and radius of planets as a book is read to them. In this diameter and radius lesson plan, 5th graders read the book Space Circles and calculate the measurements based on the information in this book.

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

Third graders make models of fractions and mixed numbers. Using fraction strips and drawing pictures, 3rd graders develop conceptual understanding of the equivalent forms. Students use the number line to represent and compare...

Sixth graders need to see the relevance in the mathematics they learn. This lesson builds on the concepts of least common multiple and greatest common factor. The lesson presents real-world problem situations for students to solve.

Students engage in a lesson that is involved with ratios. They use the jigsaw in order to actively take part in the lesson. Students play the game with the ratio puzzle pieces. The puzzle is completed while using the follow up exercises.

Students discover animal lifestyles by researching their ecosystem. In this animal statistics lesson, students research the geography of Kansas and discuss the reasons why wild animals survive in the open Kansas fields. Students complete...

Students compare two lengths using the area of a square. In this geometry activity, students solve problems using ratio and proportion of the two shapes. They solve equations by taking the square root of both sides.

Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Learners explore the concept of modular arithmetic and cryptography. In this modular arithmetic and cryptography lesson, students use applets to explore modular arithmetic using a clock and Caesar Ciphers. Learners exchange their ciphers...

First graders use various models to learn the Commutative Property of Addition. In this Commutative Property lesson, 1st graders use other students, counters, balances, and dominoes to apply the addition property. Students solve addition...

Young scholars investigate the side splitter theorem. In this geometry lesson, students estimate and solve problems dealing with ratios and proportions. They identify angles created by lines that are parallel.

Fourth graders explore place value to the hundred thousands place. In this place value lesson, 4th graders construct numbers while reading One Grain of Rice. Students discover zero as a placeholder and determine the value of each digit.

Seventh graders create a graph of their Christmas gifts. They develop categories, compute fractional and decimal parts for each category, identify the number of degrees to represent each fractional part, and create a circle graph to...

Young scholars write equations of a line. In this algebra lesson plan, students investigate the assassination of JFK through linear equations. They calculate the length of given line segments.

Third graders review the concept of place value and number sense. With a partner, they are given four cards with numbers on them. Using the cards, they practice making new numbers and completing addition and subtraction to find the...

First graders engage in using base ten blocks and dice for a fun engaging math lesson. They use a worksheet imbedded in this lesson as the game board to help them play this math game.

Young scholars, using their knowledge of place value and number sense, play this counting game in small groups, or as a whole class, to see who be the first person to reach 50 cents.

Students comprehend what makes up the physical community. Read and construct scale drawings and models. Explore the history of infrastructures and how the contributions of science, math and industry have led to the development of their...

Students use hands-on activities to explore transformations. They view a video segment that demonstrate how M. C. Escher employed geometry and transformations to create so many of his famous drawings.

Young learners answer six fill in the blank questions where they determine the missing addends for four addition word problems. They fill in the missing numbers on a problem that involves both addition and subtraction. Lastly, they...
