Second graders examine several coins to determine their values. Pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters are counted. Music is added to the instructional activity to enhance the experience.

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Pupils stack several different colored marshmallows-one on top of the other-in the tall cylindrical container. They ct a cardboard disk to fit snugly inside of the container on top of the marshmallow stack using a compass if necessary....

Students practice handling money by examining different world currency.  In this economics lesson plan, students utilize a coin booklet to trace individual coins and draw bills, later coloring them in their traditional colors....

Students explore number values by participating in a class game. In this number sense lesson, students utilize dice, cards, and chess pieces to move their piece closer to the end of a number line, the point of infinity. Students answer...

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to coordinate geometry. Learners find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane by using the Pythagorean Theorem. The vertical and horizontal change creates a right triangle, which allows...

Sixth graders engage in a lesson that explores the conversion process of fractions, decimals, and percents in relationship to their values to each other. Students demonstrate how to convert numbers interchangeably between fractions,...

Students compare and organize different fractions. In this fraction lesson, students use wax paper divided into squares to represent fractions. Students put them in different orders based on their value to complete their mathematics...

Fifth graders compare the relationship between meter in music and measurement in math. They practice sightreading music by determining the number of beats per measure, clapping and counting the rhythm.

Pupils collect objects to use in a classroom store. In groups, they must place a value on each object and take turns spending their fake dollar in the store. They predict how much they can buy and use addition and subtraction to...

Sixth graders investigate the concept of ratios and how they can be used to represent the comparison of quantities. The lesson is taught using a table or graph to compare two categories of data.

Students study the names and values of different denominations of paper money, count sets of money that include both coins and bills. They complete a money chart, read and solve word problems.

Young scholars explore measurements and geometric formulas. In this geometry lesson, students investigate pi as it relates to geometry. They collect data and use a chart to organize the data.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson that covers the reading and interpretation of a circle graph. They review the part of a whole concept for percents and student observe and practice using the circle graph.

Learners study the fractional values of Cuisenaire rods while working with favorite family recipes.

Fifth graders play a game using origami cubes with fractions and decimals written on them.  In this ordering lesson, 5th graders order the fractions and decimals while earning points for their team. 

Whether scholars understand independent and dependent variables depends on you. The 32nd installment of a 36-part series has learners analyze relationships in real-world problems through tables. They determine independent and dependent...

Third graders complete an experiment to introduce them to the concept of water pressure. In this water pressure lesson plan, 3rd graders create pressure in a water bottle and observe the force of water that is created.

Explore the concept of odd and even with your class using this resource. Learners take an online test demonstrating their knowledge of odd and even, sing a song about the concept, and engage in computer-based activities.

Students count aloud by tens. They use a number chart to color in every number that ends in a zero and then participate in choral counting by tens.

Young learners practice addition and subtraction to solve problems. They use a webquest application to model how to solve math problems using pictures, words and numbers, and also practice using multiplication and division.

Students work with decimals. In this decimal lesson, students participate in a hands-on group activity that enable them to review to how to appropriately add and subtract decimals.

Students use the partial products algorithm to complete multiplication problems. In this partial products lesson plan, students are introduced to the algorithm and connect the relationship to multiplication and division problems.

Students use reciprocal learning to coach one another in review of their prior learning about decimals. In this peer reciprocal learning decimal review activity, students participate in conversation, accountability, roles and...
