Weathering is not necessarily a result of the weather. Scholars conduct an experiment to explore the effect of surface area and volume on the weathering process. They create their own sugar cube rocks using the same number of cubes—but...

Students explore number sense by completing a statistical analysis game in class. In this data graphing lesson, students utilize visual references such as colored cubes and tiles to map out the results of an experiment outcome such as a...

Students play a bingo game to classify 3 dimensional shapes. In this 3 dimensional shapes lesson plan, students identify, describe, and classify shapes by playing a bingo game.

Students explore the concept of probability.  For this probability lesson, students use area to determine probability.  Students use charts and spinners to help determine the probability of events such as flipping a coin or...

Third graders review telling time. In this lesson on telling time, 3rd graders discuss various items that show length of time, including clocks, calendars and sand timers. Students review and practice what they already know about telling...

Students create their own counting book and brainstorm ideas with each other for a concept. In this counting lesson plan, students first read books such as Ten by Keith Haring.

Students study the Maya culture and their achievements in mathematics, how bacteria grow exponentially, use rational numbers to convert back and forth between Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit, how some architectural designs are examples of...

Learners explore concept of functions as relationships, as machines, as equations, and as graphs.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders examine models whose behavior can be described by a linear function.  The four page worksheet contains explanation of topic, three guided problems, and eight practice problems. ...

Second graders get many opportunities to practice their measurement skills.

In this thirteen page learning exercise, students solve four sets of exercises concerned with hypothesis testing.  A hypothesis testing summary is provided.

Second graders use data to graph information and draw conclusions. In this lesson on data analysis, 2nd graders practice gathering, sorting, comparing, and graphing data. Students differentiate data that can and cannot change over time.

Students use the partial products algorithm to complete multiplication problems. In this partial products lesson plan, students are introduced to the algorithm and connect the relationship to multiplication and division problems.

Students explore number sense by completing a number set worksheet. In this fractions instructional activity, students utilize pattern blocks as a visual reference to the fractions they practice identifying. Students read the book...

Fifth graders solve division problems using partial quotients. In this long division lesson, 5th graders practice seeing division as a process of repeated subtraction and estimation. This lesson provides a script for the teacher.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the frequency of pulling various parts of an ancient Greek sculpture out of a hat.

Learners receive a worksheet that describes a parade. They tell what the 10th item in the parade will be. Students draw the parade, and tell the pattern they see using letters. Learners design their own parade with the same pattern. They...

Students will use components to make a balanced decision. They will be able to rationalize their own decisions while understanding the perspectives of others. They will then develop criteria to quantify their decisions.

Sixth graders practice translating verbal expressions into algebraic expressions. In this introductory algebra lesson, 6th graders practice writing written/verbal sentences into algebraic expressions and vice versa. Students also review...

Learners explore the concepts of mean and variance. They observe properties of materials to their basic atomic or molecular structure. Students use spreadsheet software to record, tabulate and analyze collected information.

Students investigate the measurements and geometry of the school grounds. They conduct inquiry while measuring the campus and some of the city blocks. Then students draw a map to scale and categorize property types using a pie graph.

Students produce a vertical profile of a stream and map and define thalweg, point bar, and cut bank. They measure flow velocity differences across a stream transect and equate flow velocity with size of substrate sediment collected.

Students identify the passage of time. They also practice with basic mathematical concepts.

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