While this lesson focuses on a study of the Hudson River, it could be used as a template for a discussion of map skills, converting measurements, and plotting a route. The lesson includes vocabulary and other resources to make it a...

Using real life examples, learners discuss probability and ratios. They begin by answering a set of questions, and then participate in a probability activity involving a bag of colored cubes.

What are terms, factors, and coefficients? This slideshow provides definitions and examples of various parts of algebraic expressions, and provides guided practice problems in writing and identifying parts of algebraic expressions for...

Students examine the concept of fractions. For this fractions king lesson, students review math vocabulary and discover the equivalent forms of fractions as decimals and percents.

Students discover math measurements by creating a skit with classmates.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize objects in a paper bag and index cards to create a short skit focusing on debate over the size of the objects....

Students explore a calendar. In this calendar and math instructional activity, students view a video clip about using a calendar. Students participate in a game in which a game board is used to identify days of the week, dates, and months.

Start off your young English language learners with this packet of materials, which covers three weeks of instructions. After completing the unit, kids will have practiced the letters K through Z, read several story books, talked with...

Look up! Turn left! This activity on giving and following verbal directions will excite your learners. A "finder" leaves the room while you and the class hides an object. When they return, learners must use words on the cue cards...

Students are asked what activities or things that they do each day. They are then asked do you do that in the morning, afternoon, or night? Students are then asked which of those things do you do first, second, third, and etc.

Learning how to define vocabulary words related to solving parallelograms will assist your learners in identifying different parallelograms. They use the navigator to view different shapes created by moving the parallelogram around.

Your class will use a TI calculator to drag vertices of rectangles and triangles to observe what happens to ratios of pairs of sides within each figure. They will apply the definition of similarity to identify similar shapes. The...

Sixth graders find the perimeters of polygons and use perimeters to form polygons. In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders study vocabulary associated with finding perimeter such as polygon, line segment, variable, and formula. They make...

Solve systems of equations with your super smart upper graders. They solve systems of equations and then graph two lines to find where they intersect. The focus on the activity is to have learners explore moving a point to...

What can an upper grader do with an exponential function? They can solve and graph it, identify its important characteristic, and differentiate graphs based on shifts in graph bases that are greater or less than one. This 45 minute...

Oh that Pythagorean Theorem is so useful. Learners engage in a 45 minute learning activity that requires them to solve for missing angles and sides of a right triangle. They'll use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the rations of sides and...

Students work with patterns. For this pattern lesson, students find AB patterns in nature and the manmade world. They create their own AB pattern using math manipulatives and visual arts. 

Have the class factor and solve trinomials of integers in the form x2 + bx + c, where b and c are positive. They relate factoring to area and then follow a specific format to factor their trinomials. Tiles are used to help them...

Nested triangles have been created so that they share a common vertex and vertex angle. Learners drag the endpoints of the side that is opposite the common angle to discover the conditions that make the nested triangles similar. When...

Young mathematicians solve composition of functions. They add, subtract, multiply and divide functions and then identify the domain and range of each function. An embedded animation shows three different applications of function...

Students create a project applying their math skills as they discuss energy conservation. For this geometry lesson, students define vocabulary relating to the environment and energy conservation. They construct a building that allow lots...

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students work on vocabulary lesson plans.

Students explore the shapes all around them. In this early childhood lesson plan, students use their creative thinking skills to compare shapes to the form ob objects in their classroom.

Fifth graders problem solve to determine if a fundraiser will be successful in the money raising activity. In this problem solving lesson, 5th graders read a book about fund raising and write down important vocabulary words. Students...
