Learners explore how to tell time by looking at their daily schedule. Everyone's days start out the same (with school), but what does each learner do after school? How do they spend their time? 

Youngsters discover the difference between estimating and guessing. They estimate how many items are contained in a jar as they read a story. After the story, pupils discover the differences between estimating and guessing and create a...

Young scholars analyze data through graphs. They will complete a class survey on ice cream sundaes and tally and graph the responses. They then analyze the information from the class graph.

Compute fuel economy and gas mileage. Why? So you can teach rates and ratios, of course! Middle schoolers calculate the rate of miles per gallon for various vehicles. They research each vehicle, its mileage per gallon, and cost per...

Students examine gravity, mass, and friction. In this speed and motion instructional activity, students investigate how straight line motion is impacted by gravity, mass, and fiction as they participate in a hands-on activity.

Get those kids practicing basic math skills. They practice adding 3 numbers together by playing the game "Triple Addition Shuffle." Each pair of learners shuffles number cards together, places them face down, then flips them over to...

 In this geometry instructional activity, learners read The Greedy Triangle and use geoboards to construct geometric shapes. They identify the number of sides and angles each shape has.

Here is a real-life lesson plan! Learners must plan the dimensions of a rectangular fence to reign in a runaway dog. They survey what shape and size fence is needed and use formulas to find perimeter and area of the fence. They explore...

Here is a fast-paced addition game which reinforces the concept of place values. Learners view a PowerPoint on place value, then engage in the game using a whole-class format. This is a stimulating, and interesting math game lesson.

Primary geometers create a picture using tangrams. In this geometry lesson plan, students read Grandfather Tang: A Tale Told with Tangrams, cut out their own tangrams, and choose a character from the story to make using their tangram...

Where do the coordinates lead? As children brainstorm ways to find the location of different buildings, they learn about coordinate points and how to use them to locate areas on a grid or map. They practice using ordered pairs by playing...

Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...

Review operations related to rational numbers and integers using the include PowerPoint presentation, "Interesting Integers." Young mathematicians classify rational numbers as being natural, whole, or integers and read an article about...

Don't worry, this resource actually exists. Scholars learn about imaginary numbers and work on problems simplifying square roots of negative numbers. As an extension, they research the history of imaginary numbers.

Create a human fraction to learn about division of exponents. Scholars develop the rule for division of exponents by being part of a human fraction to explore and justify the rule. They also consider zero exponents and negative exponents.

Need to build a laser fence on Mars?  In this cute maximizing-area lesson, young explorers pretend to be prospectors on Mars and must determine the best way to use 20 meters of fencing in order to maximize their area. In addition,...

Explore parametric equations in this lesson, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path of objects in...

Help learners use a variety of methods to identify, visualize, and simplify polynomials with like terms. Several different visuals are used to introduce the instructional activity, such as colored pencils, overheads, interactive white...

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of slope. In this slope lesson plan, learners graph lines using a life-size graph. They use chalk on a blacktop to create a coordinate plane and use each other as the tick marks on the grid....

Students explore the concept of solving systems of equations. In this solving systems of equations activity, students watch YouTube videos about how to solve systems by graphing and by elimination. Students use an interactive website to...

High schoolers generate the equation of a polynomial given its roots and the end behavior of the function. They need to apply theorems concerning the multiplicity of roots, conjugates of irrational or imaginary roots to find a...

In this interactive Internet  assignment, physical science investigators answer 11 questions about the atom, the subatomic particles, and atomic structure. They can click on "Reveal Answer" to discover if they are correct. They also...

Students investigate nuclear weapons policies. For this global issues lesson, students research policies that the United States could institute to control nuclear weapon production. Students participate in a simulation to determine the...

Third graders examine living and non-living things and observe a plant growing in the classroom.  There are many additional resources to assist learning and extension work, they can read books, interact with PowerPoint...
