Sixth graders participate in question and answer sessions and develop a skill-based resume. They identify and explain resume-writing situations in which an ethical dilemma may present itself. Finally, 6th graders identify and project the...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson.

Eleventh graders use technology as a tool to research authors of literature being studied. Then students use a presentation program to make final presentations. This lesson allows them to create an understanding of the context related to...

In these math lesson plans, students discuss how math problems are written to reflect real-world situations. They complete an online Math Hunt using specific web tools, and work individually to create their own Math Hunts....

Your class has gathered their data, so what's the next step? They need to display and analyze their data, and a bar chart is a perfect tool for the job. This resource provides the step-by-step instructions those kids need to construct a...

Middle school meteorologists get acquainted with basic weather instruments: the thermometer, barometer, psychrometer, and anemometer. For each, the question is asked, "Do you think you can make a _______________?" At these points, you...

First graders investigate objects using rulers and magnifying glasses. They record their observations using a data-recording sheet and write a characteristic for each item they observe. They use the ruler to solve math problems.

Students investigate optical illusions. For this optical illusions lesson, students explore perception. Students analyze optical illusions and determine common misconceptions.

Students construct the formula for the area of a rectangle.

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  For this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

Students meet NASA researchers who describe the relationship between force, energy and motion. They discuss how NASA's experimental X-plane is being tested to make space travel more reliable and show how proportionality and ratios are...

Young scholars observe liquids in different containers and then explore the concept that liquids have level surfaces. They identify those who are not at the center to reinforce the concept of liquid levels with a representational puzzle...

For this mathematics test bookelt, students solve problems studied during the year.  They solve problems covering topics such as probability, angle intersection, commission, percent, exponents, similar figures, and reading and...

For this online math worksheet, students determine the volume of cylinders given their dimensions. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

Second graders select appropriate measurement tools by choosing appropriate tools to measure objects in the classroom They create a page of a class book by writing, editing, and revising one page of a book and use technology in the...

Students use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve problems.

In this math worksheet, students use the graphic organizer to display their answers when learning about measures of central tendency. There are 4 boxes: mean, median, mode and range.

Young scholars participate in experiments at five stations to practice measurement. In this measuring instructional activity, students are presented different produce and objects and must measure with an appropriate tool. Young scholars...

Your learners will construct the perpendicular bisector of a chord. They use Cabri Jr. to construct a circle and a perpendicular bisector of a chord. They then measure lengths of the chords and perpendicular bisectors. Learners use...

Learners investigate cyclic quadrilaterals in this geometry lesson. They use Cabri Jr to explore the sum of the measures of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral. The dynamic nature of Cabri allows students to form and verify...

Students utilize a computer spreadsheet to record and analyze data. In this problem solving lesson, students compare their hand size to that of the principal. Students understand standard and nonstandard measurement.

In this recognizing fraction usage worksheet, students measure fractions in recipes, match fractions and pictures, and compare pizzas. Students solve 18 problems.

Students use centimeter rulers and the attached worksheet containing a scale drawing of a stained glass window. The actual measurements of the stained glass window are given, and students are asked to find the actual measurement of the...

Pupils identify and define intersecting lines and vertical angles. They draw two intersecting lines and measure one pair of vertical angles. Learners will also move a line to change the angles of a figure and describe the changes in the...
