Students participate in various activities that increase their understanding of and ability to solve problems with fractions.

Fifth graders estimate their results and then prove through calculations. In this math lesson, 5th graders solve problems using multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. They also use mental math to solve their problems.

Students study word problems and learn to identify key words to solve the problems. In this word problems instructional activity, students role play as detectives to find key words in addition and subtraction word problems. Students then...

Students study related addition and subtraction facts. In this math lesson plan, students use related addition and subtraction to solve problems. Students use manipulatives to explore fact families.

Learners recognize the simple past forms in a folktale. They supply some of these forms when asked

High schoolers examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Students integrate biology and chemistry into a medical framework. They nterpret observations and data and evaluate their hypotheses in the light of the data obtained.. They make appropriate diagnosis and recommend treatment.

Seventh graders multiply and divide fractions. Using the teepee method, 7th graders model fractions as they find solutions to problems. They recognize that "of" means to multiply and explore real life situations when multiplying or...

Second graders practice the multiples of three as an introduction to multiplying by three.

Students explore number properties. They using multilink blocks to explore doubling of the numbers and explore the patterns to investigate 2 to the power of n and how it is written. In addition, they usse the 100s board, number line and...

A basic narrative is outlined for teaching a lesson on the addition and subtraction of integers. Using a number line, you can demonstrate how to find the sum of a positive and negative integer. On the right side of the page are links to...

Students demonstrate size and orbits of Earth, Moon, and Mars. In this space science lesson plan, students will use balloons to show how the size and distance between the planets and satellite compare.

Fifth graders examine multiplication. They construct arrays to demonstrate specific multiplication facts. They identify examples and non-examples of arrays. Students use counters to model the commutative property of multiplication.

Students study the effects of different salients and temperatures on vertical movement of an organism.  In this experimental instructional activity students design different shapes of foil to simulate drifting planktonic organisms.

Third graders explore how simple machines can affect their health and lifestyle. In addition, 3rd graders use their knowledge of simple machines to build a unique machine.

Fourth graders use number facts to estimate quotients. For this division lesson, 4th graders examine long division problems to determine which multiple of ten will help them determine a number that is close to a quotient. They adjust the...

Fifth graders review the concept of negative numbers and how the are placed on a number line. After the review, 5th graders practice placing negative numbers on a number line in a whole class setting.

Students analyze the way atoms function and how they combine to form molecules and various compounds. Using a software program, they create a diagram of an atom and write a summary about their functions. They complete a worksheet and...
