Pupils use the problem solving strategy of guess and check to investigate math word problems. They determine which problem solving strategy or strategies would work best in problem situations.

Second graders use The Berenstain Bears' to learn about money management. In this money management lesson plan, 2nd graders read The Berenstain Bears' Dollars and Sense book and complete the 'Rainy Day' worksheet. Students then discuss...

Students explore the concept of estimation. In this estimation lesson, students discuss making estimates through teacher led discussion. Students use the Internet to complete an activity where they must estimate the length of lines.

Students observe and draw small objects on the playground or in the classroom with and without a magnifying glass. They explore how lenses can affect the way that an object is observed from afar or remotely sensed. Afterwards, they share...

Eighth graders explore three-dimensional objects (prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones) to draw nets. They use the understanding of drawing nets to find the surface area of pyramids and cylinders.

Students identify shapes, create shapes, and make a pyramid, a drum, and a sail using their shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students also identify plane and space shapes.

Fourth graders, in groups, explore place value for whole numbers. They explore how to use base-ten materials to make sense of place value in the tens and ones column. They also explore whole-number patterns by using base-ten materials.

Students investigate the creation of three dimensional drawings. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and complete orthographic drawings. They Cabri software to manipulate and move the drawings around.

Students investigate orthographic drawings. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.

Students solve word problems using mathematical symbols. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and analyze it. They analyze the data using a table or graph after plotting the data.

In this reasonable answer worksheet, students estimate and circle the answer that make sense for a set of 6 word problems. Students choose from 2 possible answers.

Students recognize numbers and their value.  In this numbers activity, students observe where numbers and how numbers are used everyday.  Students identify why these numbers are important.

Students solve problems using equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the correct symbols and steps when solving word problems. They graph their lines and analyze the slope using tiles.

Fifth graders study place value. After forming teams, they play a game called, "Who Can Line Up the Number." Students observe numbers in expanded form and place representative digits in the correct order.

Fourth graders identify line symmetry. In this geometry instructional activity, 4th graders are given various pictures and identify if they are symmetrical. Students search through magazines for symmetrical pictures.

Students find locations based upon their latitude and longitude coordinates. In this latitude and longitude instructional activity, students locate points on a grid and learn how to use an astrolabe.

Learners investigate the relationship between angles of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of right and non-right triangles. They differentiate between vertical and supplementary angles.

Students find missing angles and sides of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students create intersecting lines to measure angles. They use Cabri Software to create virtual angles.

Turn your class upside down as they explore the reciprocal functions. Scholars use the unit circle to develop the definition of the secant and cosecant functions. They analyze the domain, range, and end behavior of each function.

Young scholars explore baseball. This is a cross-curricular plan that includes math, history, and agriculture. Pupils use their five senses to observe the materials a baseball is made from and identify the agricultural products used. In...
