Learners view examples of a ray, opposite rays, collinear rays, angles, and straight angles. They discuss and demonstrate how to use a protractor and complete worksheet problems on rays and angles.

Young scholars examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Second graders collect data from their families about their reading habits and graph them. In this graphing family reading habits instructional activity, 2nd graders interview family members about their reading habits. They then use a...

Sixth graders identify and replicate two dimensional illustrations of three dimensional objects. In this spatial visualization lesson, 6th graders practice viewing objects from various sides. Student participate in stations to view...

Learners differentiate between theoretical and experimental probability. In this probability instructional activity, students create a puzzle and calculate the probability of an event occurring. They use problems dealing real life...

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Students calculate the theoretical and empirical probability by dropping coins on a grid. They record their data and compare the theoretical and empirical data. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the experiment.

Learners observe and discuss cloud cover. They identify percent of cloud cover, calculate cloud cover by fraction and convert to a percent, and compare their models with the current real sky cloud cover.

Students examine the use of signal flags on vessels. They use measurements and symmetry to create their very own signal flag. Students work together and as individuals to solve problems and express their ideas.

Students use a given spreadsheet to investigate an iterative process by changing the variables. They design their own spreadsheet to investigate the iterative process.

Fifth graders show percentages on a 10 x 10 grid. For this percentages lesson plan, 5th graders color in the squares to show a percent.

Students work with dominoes to recognize the number of spots on each side as they relate to addition facts. In this seeing doubles activity, students make triangle shaped flash cards for the double facts. Students represent the correct...
