Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

Pupils work in groups to compare fractions. They check their answers using fraction manipulatives. They write their answers on a white board.

First graders practice modeling addition. In this hands-on addition lesson plan, 1st graders are introduced to the Commutative Property of Addition and the Zero Property of Addition through modeling and the use of manipulatives. This...

Third graders examine the relationships between rhythm and math, tone color and science, form and geography, melody and art, and harmony and social studies. Why, they are like cousins! Students, in groups, present projects demonstrating...

Second graders decipher a pattern using input and output. For this functions lesson, 2nd graders use input and output numbers to find a pattern involving addition and subtraction. Students use the pattern they discovered to help solve...

Students analyze problem solving techniques for equations with variables by playing a game called "Smackdown". They place variable cards on a grid and use the area model to calculate an answer after spinning a game piece to determine the...

Fourth graders, in pairs, receive three different types of coin bags. They pick coins out of the bag and tally what was picked fifteen times. They do it with all three bags for three separate tallies.

Young scholars explore the concept of fractions with coin denominations. They play a game involving trading equal fraction parts to coin values, and complete a 'Fraction Circles' worksheet.

Fifth graders work in small groups of five or six to conduct a series of investigations. While recording the results using pencils on individual tally worksheets rotating to different stations and comparing results with the other...

First graders practice addition and subtraction concepts using gross and fine motor movement. Working in small groups, 1st graders play a game to practice their addition and subtraction facts through gross and fine motor movement...

Students, using their knowledge of place value and number sense, play this counting game in small groups, or as a whole class, to see who be the first person to reach 50 cents.

First graders read a variety of stories containing mathematical word problems. They illustrate the math problems with manipulable counters.

Students explore probability through cooperative group activities and interactive video technique.

Second graders review the weather through a role-playing game.

n a class discussion Students identify events or situations as being likely to occur or unlikely to occur. Then, they work in pairs to generate likely and unlikely statements to share with the class.

Third graders flip a dime and a quarter to record and predict the probability of possible outcomes.

Second graders analyze the likelihood of simple events.

Third graders use two days to create, collect, display and analyze data. Classroom activities and practice build greater understanding to a variety of forms used to display data.

Pupils play a racetrack game using money vocabulary and adding coins with the same value. They read car racing stories and observe the reverse of the Indiana quarter. They locate Indiana on a map.

Students explore and complete a variety of activities demonstration probability. They make observations about the results of the activities. Students complete and discuss conditional probability. Also, students draw conclusions about...

While this activity was designed for students with special needs, it could be used with any group learning about the calendar or days of the week. Old calendar pages become the bingo board, and numbers 1 through 31 become the numbers...

Second graders read "The Cloud Book" by Tomie dePaola to jumpstart their cloud study. They offer examples of liquids, solids, and gases and chart them. They observe the making of a cloud in a demonstration. They discuss and draw...
