Second graders, in pairs, use arrays to explore the relationship between multiplication and division.

Sixth graders identify and draw two-dimensional representations of a three-dimensional object. Students investigate the views of an object and determine that three views are required (front, one side and the top). Students use these...

A hands-on lesson created students use beans as manipulatives to solve addition number sentences. Requires the book, Mission Addition by Loreen Leedy.

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

Seventh graders develop an examineing of absolute value through real world situations. They develop an examineing of when absolute value can be used in a given situation.

Students discuss the directions on a package of seeds. They open the package, count the seeds, and determine the planting requirements for the seeds.

Students toss candy and coins using their non-dominant hand while their partners records the results on a probability charts.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

Students experiment with several chaotic simulation, they build a working definition of chaos. Students reinforce their knowledge of basic probability and percents. They are reminded of previous knowledge that is pertinent to this...

Students explore and complete a variety of activities demonstration probability. They make observations about the results of the activities. Students complete and discuss conditional probability. Also, students draw conclusions about...

Second graders run for various offices. They dress up like a politician, pretend to be running for an office, and tell the students why they should vote for him/her. They explain why it is necessary for a community to have a government

Fourth graders determine the value of ? by measuring the circumference and diameter of circular objects such as soup cans, Oreo cookies, etc..

Students simulate the distribution of nonrenewable energy resources using cookies. They determine how the world's growing population effects the equitable distribution of these resources. They look at how engineers work to develop...

Second graders write and solve story problems which involve whole numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. They solve multiplication problems by using strategies other than counting all. They interpret and solve...

Learners design and build a snowplow using LEGO materials. They compete in an Engineer's Challenge to clear a path through Styrofoam peanuts.

Students use the internet to investigate public examples of sculpture. They reflect upon the possibility of being a reference of lifestyles that can exist in a society. A variety of media sources serve as inspiration for the lesson.

Fifth graders at this age are very interested in the adventures of knighthood and life in the past, so the unit will serve as a basis for teaching skills while maintaining high interest.
