Fifth graders explore angles by using protractors. They recognize, describe and determine the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. Students recognize the right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle and vertex. They identify...

Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. For this early elementary math lesson, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on KidPix.

Students explore the concept of experimental and theoretical probability. In this experimental and theoretical probability lesson, students collect data by conducting a survey of their classmates. Students compare their data and discuss...

Eighth graders collect data from Bottle Biology compost columns and record using Excel spreadsheet.

Students organize and interpret data using bar graphs.

Pupils determine if they are tasters or non-tasters and then replicate the experiment with family and peer group members. They collect data from the experiment to determine which trait is dominant.

Students examine a set of data based on a realtor's sales for a specific amount of time. Using this information, they calculate the mean, mode and median and how to skew the data to different points of view. They determine which...

Students create survey questions to discover why students join clubs. Using sampling methods and question phrasing techniques, they conduct the survey both in and out of school. Once students analyze their survey information, they...

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that explores probability. They use candy and model cubes to experiment with different outcomes that can be charted if the students can proceed to the objective of the lesson. They discover how...

Students create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra instructional activity, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

Pupils discuss the different types of storms that can hit land. They locate specific coordinates on a plane grid. They discuss lonsgitude and latitude to plot the coordinates of a tropical storm. They practice finding coordinates that...

Students compare and contrast the visible structures of three insects based on photographs. They differentiate characteristics of crane flies, ants, and wasps then create a simple classification system.

Students engage in a lesson that is about the concept of earthquake design. The lesson includes the integration of technology and how it can be used to create buildings and structures for withstanding an earthquake. Students also define...

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

Students explain the standard growth pattern of a monocot seedling and word process a finished essay.

Ninth graders identify the different parts of a wave. In this physics lesson, 9th graders observe wave behavior as it travels through a boundary. They determine the relationship between wavelength, frequency and velocity.

This helpful lesson explores the probability in tossing a coin and throwing dice. Specifically, it looks at the probability of getting numbers that are significant to the game of craps, assuming that once the math is understood, most...

Fourth graders problem solve a problem from a local business using data, generating graphs, and draw conclusions. They submit their findings in a business letter format with feed back from a company's plant manager.

Eighth graders determine which of two solutions is more acidic by adding each to a given base. Students have to apply this analysis process to a problem scenario involving an alien creature.

Students apply math skills to assess the range, mean, mode, and median of data sets. Using a "Reaching New Heights" worksheet, they review and discuss how to calculate the answers. Students write complete explanations of all their...

Students explore the implications of obtaining loans. They assess interest rates, amount to be paid back, and the implications if they do not pay back the loan on time. Students develop a comparison chart.

Students identify oviparous animals. They brainstorm a list of animals that lay eggs, read "Chickens Aren't The Only Ones" by Ruth Heller and then add to the list. Students complete a booklet that shows an egg and an oviparous animal.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Students practice descriptive writing. In this unique writing lesson, students hear a story about a mitten. Then three grade levels come together to first, create a mitten on KidPix; second, describe the designed mitten; and third, try...
