Students compare data and determine the appropriate way to organize the data. They use physical graphs, pictographs, and symbolic graphs to display their data. In addition, they complete a Venn diagram.

In this math activity, students solve 4 story problems which pertain to Halloween. Students estimate, calculate prices, and convert liquid measures to solve these problems.

Third graders measure the heat created at each center.

First graders role-play addition and subtraction operations with teddy bears. They practice with the bears first, then write and solve the problems.

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Second graders draw a picture of a pond scene which includes various animals. They exchange pictures and tally the number of animals drawn. Then they record the number on a chart and write a story about their pictures.

Students learn the key words to look for in multiplication and division word problems, to help them decide which operation to use. They analyze, wrte, and solve multiplication problems.

Students work in groups to describe plants using numbers. In this number instructional activity, students use numbers to define plants and then use numbers to write descriptions of themselves.

In this composition functions worksheet, high schoolers solve 1 short answer problem. Students find f(g(-3)) given the f(x) and g(x) functions.

Students explore the concept of running a business. In this running a business instructional activity, students put their plan of action into practice. Students market a product and try to maximize profit.

Learners simulate analyzing artifacts in archaeological lab by using real techniques that archaeologists use. Students practice measuring skills, drawing, writing, and brainstorming, and make inferences based on evidence.
