Learners read the novel Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner. Using Lego RCX units, students build and program sleds to re-enact the "home stretch" of the National Dog Sled Race.

Learners discuss tables, multiples, fractions, ratios, and probability while participating in daily activities in this cross-curricular Math lesson using examples from Literature. State standards in Mathematics are addressed over the...

In this math worksheet, students compare the fractions while solving the proportions. They apply the comparisons to the 17 word problems.

Students use clock arithmetic to find remainders. In this patterns in math lesson, students explore the relationship between clock arithmetic and remainders using a computer applet. Students also identify patterns in Pascal's triangle...

Students simulate the distribution of nonrenewable energy resources using cookies. They determine how the world's growing population effects the equitable distribution of these resources. They look at how engineers work to develop...

Students develop an understanding of patterns and symmetry. For this symmetry and pattern lesson, students use real world patterns then analyze and extend them. Students also use real world items while discovering and observing...

This math review PowerPoint reinforces the concepts of fifth grade math. This interactive PowerPoint is modeled after the television show, "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" The questions given involve division, fractions and...

Students calculate unit rates with fractions and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson, students compare numbers, perform long division, and calculate the rate of different units through conversions. They model some of the problems as...

Second graders, in pairs, use arrays to explore the relationship between multiplication and division.

Fifth graders explore fractions of whole numbers as they make fraction bead necklaces.

Fifth graders investigate the interchangeable relationship betweeen fractions and percents. They discuss the concepts using teacher provided questions. Then sutdents work in cooperative groups to maximize scaffolding.

Students utilize peanuts to practice fractions.  In this math model lesson plan, students solve multiplication problems and fractions with real peanuts.  Students use drawing software to graph data from the math equations.

First graders use a clock to practice telling time and using fractions. They review the different parts of the clock and play a game using time. They help each other with telling time.

Aspiring statisticians create tree diagrams and figure probabilities of events based on those diagrams. They practice adding and multiplying fractions and explain complementary probabilities. Students use computers activities to make...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Fourth graders receive a fraction circle and show how each different part makes a whole. Students compare the different fractions that make up a whole. Students choose 2 fractions which are inside a bucket and they compare them both...

Young scholars make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is...

Third graders write fractions and decimals using unifix cube models and grid paper. They draw a garden using grid paper and label each section with the correct fraction and decimal to the tenths. This is a clever way to use manipulatives...

Young scholars participate in a game in which they compare fractions and graph the fractions.

Second graders explore fractions as something shared evenly. In this fractions lesson, 2nd graders watch a video and discuss how bookcases and drawers could be divided evenly.

Students create packages with a maximum capacity. In this geometry lesson ,students estimate using whole numbers, decimals and fractions. They calculate length, weight and mass of packaging.

Students investigate the use of multiplication and division of whole numbers to solve problems including equivalent ratios and rates.

Eighth graders explore representing fractions as ratios and proportions. They model proportions through the use of blocks, LEGO gears and activities with bicycle gears and pedals. Students work with bicycle gear boxes to observe and...

Middle schoolers create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be...
