Second graders observe and demonstrate how to add and subtract three-digit numbers as they relate to word problems. They discuss an annual bike ride in Iowa, and solve problems on an activity sheet along with the teacher. Students draw a...

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students explore the parts of the cell. In this cell instructional activity, students use foods to create cell models that represent the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, and...

Students practice adding numbers to twelve. In this computation lesson, students construct paper domino patterns and play games in which they use the the dots on the dominoes to make addition problems.

First graders practice place value by completing problems that allow them to group 10 items together to create groups of 10 and see what is left over. In this place value lesson plan, 1st graders use cups to put 10 items in them, and...

Third graders review telling time. In this lesson plan on telling time, 3rd graders discuss various items that show length of time, including clocks, calendars and sand timers. Students review and practice what they already know about...

Students watch videos and fill out worksheets about the turtles and their journey to the Costa Rican beach. In this turtles lesson plan, students learn and discuss survival, predator and prey, and stages of development.

Second graders collect data by spinning two spinners and creating sums, organize the data, and make conclusions from the data. Each students makes a spinner. They spin and record the number of the section each time. Students work in...

Second graders have an opportunity to work in pairs as they search for the missing addend to complete a mathematical sentence. They identify and demonstrate the ability to change the order of the addends and still produce the same sum....

Students explore color, light, refraction and reflection.  In this light lesson students measure solar position and compare it to time.

Students consider the factors that relate to decisions regarding genetic disorders. They read case studies and complete a provided Bio-Ethical Decision-Making Worksheet.

Using a varity of strategies, young mathematicians solve multistep word problems. They play a logic game as a whole group, and then work with a partner on a computer to complete a worksheet that requires a variety of problem solving...

Young mathematicians listen to the book Sold!: A Mathematics Adventure by Nathan Zimelman where they encounter ways to solve story problems. They then create and solve start unknown addition and subtraction equations. Resource builds in...

This lesson engages learners in a variety of activities to build 1 to 1 correspondence, estimation, and problem solving skills. They discuss problem solving strategies, hear the story Ten Flashing Fireflies, compose their own word...

Students practice skip counting strategies, estimation, and higher number addition. They estimate the number of seeds in bell pepper, and count seeds in groups of tens and ones after the teacher removes seeds from the pepper.

Scholars investigate the concept of adding positive and negative numbers. They practice adding using the number line for scaffolding. This can be done as a game for younger learners, but may also be helpful for engaging the older pupils.
