Second graders subtract two-digit numbers. In this mathematics lesson, 2nd graders subtract both with and without regrouping. Students use manipulatives and place value mats to assist in problem solving.

Let's partition rectangles into equal parts. Assess learners on their ability to divide shapes into equal parts, and their ability to explain their thinking.

Fourth graders engage in a activity that is about the concept of rounding decimals. They review place value and focus it upon the practice of rounding. Students use 10 base decimal grids or models to help make connections with the skill.

Where are all the addends? Addition novices solve 36 equations by filling in the single-digit addend to achieve the given sum. They reference several examples, each of which include object sets to help learners visualize the...

Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

Learners step up to the plate as they first complete an assessment task using linear equations to determine the best company from which to buy baseball jerseys. They then evaluate provided sample responses identifying strengths and...

Drive or take the school bus? Class members determine the amount each student would have to pay in a carpool situation. They then evaluate  the cost in a set of provided examples. I think I'd rather take the school...

Students study the concept of addition. They create verbal number stories with numbers from one to five. They draw a slice of bread with a line down the middle and cut the bread shapes out of a "slice of bread" and a handful of raisins,...

Explore scientific notation in this mathematics lesson. Young mathematicians explore multiple representations of large number in scientific notation through the use of models, visual representation and expanded form. The lesson provided...

Young learners apply divisibility rules to determine if a number is a factor of another number. They discuss what numbers are factors of another number and identify patterns using divisibility rules.

Fourth graders become familiar with a chart and use the information to create a flight plan.  In this flight plan lesson plan, 4th graders access background knowledge of the role of flight controllers and the number concepts they...

Students practice number sense with the book Cool Cats Counting by Sherry Shahan.  In this number instructional activity, students listen to the book and count from 1-10 in English and Spanish. They practice their alphabet,...

In this function learning exercise, students describe a function and write six different ways a function may be modeled. This two-page learning exercise contains eight problems.

After reviewing how to write numbers in the expanded form, give learners the opportunity to practice their new skill. This activity has 12 three-digit numbers for them to asess and compose in expanded form.

Third graders explore math functions by completing problem solving activities. In this division lesson, 3rd graders utilize the division strategies acquired earlier to divide multiple digit numbers by 4's. Students complete problems on...

Eighth graders review their understanding about numbers and number systems through playing the Number Game. They create a list of numbers and based upon the characteristics and properties of the numbers they will earn points.

A nose knows! Connect animals to their noses with a fun science activity. Animals include elephants, rats, pigs, and even humans. For a science exploration, kindergartners answer questions about what they can smell. A great addition to...
