Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

Young scholars gather information by analyzing graphs, diagrams and pie charts. In this graphs and diagrams lesson, students complete addition and subtraction problems. Young scholars discuss a pie chart. Students use information to...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the mastery of counting by ten's. They practice counting to varying quantities not to exceed 100. Students could also use manipulatives that are separated into groups of ten.

Students explore the concept graphing data. For this graphing data lesson, students use weather data from their local weather and some other city and graph them. Students plot the local weather vs. another city. Students record...

Students describe the difference between an estimate and a guess. They create reasonable estimates based on observation and hands-on activities. They synthesize estimated based on interaction with online activities.

Students receive activity bags to bring home and share with their families. They are excited to have "homework" and they accomplish several skills by completing the activities within the bags. This is great for special needs students.

Students find zero pairs and add integers using zero pairs and a number line. They generalize rules for adding integers. The class view approximately 10 minutes of video divided into three segments.

Students find zero pairs and add integers using zero pairs and a number line. They generalize rules for adding integers. Students complete a matching activity on the Internet that helps them practice adding integers.

Second graders explore how to incorporate a new type of technology, the cash register and/or a calculator, as a motivational tool for solving real life problems. They practice estimating money and counting back change from $20.00.

Students, in groups, determine the volume of a box large enough to hold a million dollars. They calculate the dimensions of a bill and the volume of the money.

Students find percents and unit price using popcorn.

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.

Learners simplify simple equations. Using a maze game, young mathematicians speculate about the size of different algebraic values and what other equivalent expressions might look like. It is a nice beginning activity for introducing...

Students practice visualization as a strategy for reading and comprehending math word problems.

Students create cartograms of populations during 1790.

Students discuss elements of word problems: key words, data, computation clues, and unnecessary information and use the four steps of problem solving to find a solution and check for reasonableness.

Read aloud your choice of books about counting on and counting back (a list is provided, or tell stories of your own). Your learners will write horizontal equations to portray what happens in the story. They build a paper chain and...

Students analyze the multiplication facts from zero to ten in the ten lessons of this unit. The concepts of mental multiplication and solving word problems are important components of this unit.

Students explore the concept of absolute value inequalities and equations. For this absolute value inequalities and equations lesson, students discuss how to solve absolute value inequalities and equations through teacher led discussion...

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students work in groups to research clocks and practice telling time. In this telling time lesson, students use the computer program ProQuest to study circles, including radius and diameter, and practice drawing circles using a compass....

Learners take derivatives of exponential functions.  In this taking derivatives of exponential functions lesson, students prove the derivative of an exponential function is the exponential function.  Learners find derivatives...

Learners participate in guessing their partners' hidden Lego pieces from their verbal clues. They work in partners to accomplish their goals. They are meeting a variety of math standards by completing this lesson.

This instructional activity is a compilation of interdisciplinary, technology-infused activities that focus on the often complicated and sometimes controversial issues related to toxic chemicals in children's environment. Special...
