Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson plan, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Students investigate the differences when using decimals, fractions, and percents. They focus on the process of using them in real problems and how to convert them from one form to another.

Explore the concept of volume of prisms using an applet to perform the calculations. The link to the interactive applet is embedded into the lesson plan as well as a link to associated data sheets. Get your math class to the computer lab...

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

To foster number sense and build problem solving skills, pupils will work through a complex word problem. They will be asked to analyze the data given, solve the problem, then share their thinking process with the class. This activity...

Young scholars generate a list of numbers then classify them into groups of single digit and double-digit numbers. After listening to a children's book about double-digit addition, they work with tens and ones blocks to solve...

Everyone loves math when it includes food! This lesson plan tries to take the notion of combining like terms in algebra and comparing it to sorting apples and oranges. It takes a step-by-step approach to helping young scholars understand...

Students investigate the concepts of volume for rectangular prisms and spheres. They measure the volume of one balloon and then consider how many breaths it would take to fill the room with balloons. The rectangular prism being measured...

This hands-on resource has future trip planners analyze graphs of mileage, gasoline costs, and travel time on different routes. While this was originally designed for a problem-solving exercise using a Michigan map, it could be used as a...

Collect and analyze data. Pupils graph their data and model with it to solve real life problems. They use logic and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

Pupils engage in a lesson that has them practice solving equations using multiplication and division. They practice solving problems using the properties needed and then students practice changing word problems into an equation.

A question to ask your class is, How fast is your Internet? That depends on the data transfer rate (DTR), which is the unit rate used in this activity. Math students will calculate how long it takes to download a music file and a video...

You and your class will like this lesson on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and then...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Using a number line on the floor made from masking tape and manipulatives, learners observe a demonstration of the addition and subtraction processes. After completing several worksheets, they solve three-term problems using calculators...

Young scholars explore the concept of multi-step equations. In the multi-step equation lesson, students solve equations by the 'party method'. Young scholars make a flip book that shows the steps in solving multi-step equations.

Students practice using algebra to be applied to real world situational problems. The key concepts of translation of language to algebraic expressions is covered. They also look in depth at relationships between different quantities.

Students identify types of arcs and angles in a circle, find the measure of arcs and angles, and solve real world problems involving lengths of segments in circles, lengths, and areas.

Students compute mean, median and mode and compare mean, median and mode to a real-world application to identify their practical uses. They apply mean, median and mode to real-world statistical data. Finally, students organize data into...

Students investigate the use of The Order of Operations using a story. The solution of the story correlates with using the same thinking involved in the application of the Order of Operations. This brings the concept into real world for...

Students use physical models and graphs in order to solve problems that have their origin in the real world that require algebraic thinking. The words are changed into equations and inequalities in order to be solved. This requires...

Fifth graders study an airline flight schedule to study elapsed time. They use schedules, calendars, and elapsed time to solve real-world problems.

Young scholars calculate the perimeter of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of polygons to the real world. They find length, midpoint and slope.
