You sank my battleship! The iconic cry of the time-honored game, Battleship will be heard in classrooms with this learning game that requires only grid paper, pencils, and an introductory knowledge of the first quadrant of the coordinate...

A short video introduces place value in addition and subtraction. As a class, your students identify all even numbers up to one hundred and explain the pattern. They use addition strategies to fill in the missing numbers on the number grid.

Youngsters explore number patterns within a Hundreds Chart. They discover six specific patterns from six teacher-directed rules in cooperative groups and describe in words ONE of the three patterns in their Learning Logs. They prove for...

Elementary schoolers play a math game using a Tic-Tac-Toe Board. This simple idea can be used with virtually any grade level. A team of learners are the "O's," and the other is the team of "X's." Each time a team gets a problem correct,...

Study various types of mathematical models in this math lesson. Learners calculate the slope to determine the risk in a situation described. They respond to a number of questions and analyze their statistical data. Then, they determine...

In this math worksheet, students solve 4 grid puzzles in which the rows, columns and diagonals total the number at the end of each. There are helpful strategy hints on the page.

Investigate the properties of three-dimensional figures with this Arctic-themed math lesson. Beginning with a class discussion about different types of solid figures present in the classroom, young mathematicians are then given a...

Cut-and-paste a great activity into your lesson plans. Scholars analyze real-world problems involving proportions. To change things up a bit they cut-and-paste quantities to create a proportion on their way to solving the problems.

In this math worksheet, learners complete 2 exercises to reinforce basic multiplication skills. Students are given 26 products and must write 2 factors which, when multiplied, will equal that number. Then learners solve 4 multiplication...

In this math worksheet, students practice basic multiplication facts by completing 2 exercises. First students are given a product and must think of 2 factors which would multiply to equal that number. There are 26 problems. Then...

In this math worksheet, students practice basic multiplication facts by completing 2 exercises. First students are given a product and must think of 2 factors which would multiply to equal that number. There are 26 problems. Then...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders review the vocabulary associated with the special segments of a triangle and the associated points of concurrency and solve problems in which they find the indicated missing angle or...

Young scholars identify the formula to find the nth term. In this algebra lesson, students finish a pattern and identify missing parts in a sequence. They write an equation given a partial sequence.

Students create different shapes on grid paper.  In this two-dimensional geometry lesson, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper.  They identify all shapes they see once everyone has had a...

Third graders draw shapes that are congruent. In this congruency lesson, 3rd graders use grid paper to draw letters and figures and their congruent partners. They complete a worksheet while working in a whole class setting with the...

Students practice identifying points on a coordinate plane, creating charts, and calculating ratios. In groups, students play a "battleship" game where they determine the location of their own fleet and attempt to find the location of...

A different-than-normal problem that allows learners to practice their reasoning to find an answer. The problem bases itself off a graph drawing of a store that needs to install security cameras. The challenge is to find which placement...

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Fifth graders play Battleshapes which is a variation of Battleship with geometry. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders get a graph paper with four quadrants. They call out coordinate points and attempt to sink their opponents shapes. 

Students work on sudoku puzzles. In this algebra lesson, students complete a puzzle by finding the missing numbers in a square. They use logic to solve these puzzles.

Students demonstrate multiplication facts using an interactive whiteboard. In this multiplication lesson, students use an online activity on a whiteboard to master multiplication facts. Students complete an online quiz as a follow-up.

Fifth graders explore the four quadrants of a coordinate grid.  In this graphing lesson, 5th graders trace sea shells in each of the four quadrants of a coordinate grid and then label the ordered pairs on each shell.  For the...

Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Fifth graders discover the connections between algebra and geometry. With a focus on arrays and factors, they are introduced to multiplication. They develop an array for multiples of 2 through 10 and identify the factors of each row....
