Approach addition with young mathematicians in an engaging way through this penguin-inspired activity. In small groups, scholars think about times they have used addition in their real lives (there are some suggestions given), then watch...

Here's a resource that models rising water levels with a linear function. The task contains three parts about the level of water in a cylinder in relationship to the number of golf balls placed in it. Class members analyze the data and...

The world is full of patterns. Help learners quantify those patterns with mathematical representations. The first Algebra instructional activity in a compilation of four uses a series of activities to build the concept of patterns using...

It's probably a good idea to use the unit. Young mathematicians learn about conditional probability using Venn diagrams, tree diagrams, and two-way tables. They also take into consideration independence and the addition rules.

Factor polynomial functions that have two and three terms. Using Algeblocks, your class will create models to show their understanding of these concepts.

Use a vocabulary chart to introduce math functions. The class defines a list of mathematical vocabulary terms on a worksheet, as well as completes equations and expressions. They examine word problems and practice transcribing them into...

Learn about butterflies and place value in a series of interdisciplinary lessons! With several worksheets that reference butterfly facts in word problems, kids can practice science and math in one activity. Additional worksheets are...

These aren't models made of clay. Young mathematicians model given population data using exponential functions. They consider different models and choose the best one.

Searching for worksheets to include in an elementary math series on bar graphs? Then look no further! This collection of materials has exactly what you need to ensure that your students get plenty of practice reading and analyzing...

An assessment presents a chart displaying oil consumption Pupils use the chart to determine the greatest increase in consumption, and then apply that information to figure out when the consumption may reach 100 million barrels a day.

How many cups does it take to reach the top? Learners attempt to answer this through a series of questions. They collect dimension information and apply it to creating a function. The lesson encourages various solution methods and...

Use this number comparison and counting worksheet as an overhead projection for the whole class, because the answer is explained on the bottom half of the sheet. Cover the answer and reveal it once learners have tried it themselves. They...

To set up this activity, your class explores Minnesota's nickname as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and the back of the state quarter that features a Minnesota lake. Young mathematicians compare the number 1 to the number 10,000 with support...

This comprehensive resource applies simultaneous equations to a real-life problem. Though the commentary starts with a graph, some home consumers may choose to begin with a table. A graph does aid learners to visualize the shift of one...

Common Core is all about getting your learners to open their minds and think about the why and how. This problem has them thinking about unknown numbers and their relationship with one another when we round and...

Explore the effect of outliers through an analysis of mean, median, and standard deviation. Your classes examine and compare these measures for two groups. They must make sense of a group that has a higher mean but lower median compared...

By learning to select the best representation for three meal plans, students compare three meal plans to determine the best choice. Data for the meal plans is sorted on a table, as an algebraic equation, and graphed on a coordinate grid....

Leanrers observe models of fractions and use a calculator to represent numbers as decimals, fractions, and percents. They participate in calculator activities to view different representations of the same number.

The concept of counting money is reinforced for 2nd graders through visual representations in this slide show. This interactive presentation includes slides that ask for a specific money amount, students then must click on how many coins...

Young scholars practice counting sets of objects and numerals.  In this numerical identification lesson, students listen to the story, Bears Wears Buttons, and participate in a flash card activity where young scholars must...

Middle schoolers construct a three-dimensional model of a city using both similar and congruent figures and geometric transformations. City must have at least ten buildings with each building labeled and may be constructed out of paper...

Need a unit to teach fractions to fourth graders? Look no further than this well-developed and thorough set of lessons that takes teachers through all steps of planning, implementing, and assessing their lessons. Divided into eight...

Young scholars construct a book to illustrate number concepts. They write their numbers on a sheet of paper. Students in grade 1 discuss counting to 100 by different numbers. Pupils in grades (2-4) write basic addition or subtraction...

Use tables, graphs, and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. An envelope of sample problems is passed around the classroom, and each learner has the opportunity to solve the system in the envelope. This is a great way to...
