Young scholars analyze different data in percentage form. In this statistics lesson, students plot data using box-plots, dotplot, and histogram. They compare and contrast the collected data using the boxplot.

Students use their knowledge and understanding of equations of lines to explore independent and dependent variables. They determine how to isolate a variable and how to predict data points not represented in data.

Fifth graders organize and display information in bar graph form using appropriate labels. Each student receives a box of Valentine heart candies, a worksheet of the tally chart and a worksheet of the bar graph.

Students identify the structure and key parts of tables and charts. They determine which data is meanjngful and make comparisons with the data. They describe the scope of the AIDS plague throughout the world.

Students use compasses and grids to map the locations of artifacts found in a simulated dig site. In groups, they role-play as future archeologists excavating a school site. Groups begin at their assigned datum and site the artifacts...

Second graders investigate the concept of addition and subtraction while manipulating a variety of different resources. They focus upon the use of the games in order to keep student engagement. Then students are given the opportunity to...

Young scholars practice map skills. For this map skills lesson, students locate the cities of New York and Paris on a map. Young scholars read about the flight made by Charles Lindbergh in May 1927 from New York to Paris. Students answer...

Fifth graders look at the Garrison flag and estimate how big it is. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders then calculate the area and perimeter of the flag.

Students solve linear equations by modeling. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve one and two step inequalities and equations. They use manipulative to create a visual of the steps.

Students study the importance of clean water to the survival of organisms and what activiities and material pollute water. They measure the temperature of water samples and create a class graph.

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Students apply their enthusiasm for imaginary play to create their own imaginary play space. In this novice architectural design instructional activity, students arrange and glue pre-cut foam shapes to a cardboard base to set up their...
