Students apply understanding of fractions by converting a recipe to feed the class and the whole grade level. They calculate how many cookies the class would eat and multiply each fraction in the recipe accordingly.

In this equation learning exercise, learners match equations with diagrams and solve for y, then draw bar diagrams to illustrate given equations, and solve.

Students construct aluminum foil boats that float while holding the greatest number of pennies. They investigate the concept of water displacement, record their results, and watch a Bill Nye video on buoyancy.

Young scholars experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.

Students find percents and unit price using popcorn.

Young scholars, 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 explore the relationship between mass, volume and density. They use model boats to discover how changing mass and volume affect density. This is a very engaging lesson which provides great demonstrations and hands-on activities.

Students examine fractions in this lesson. They practice with how to reduce and perform operations on fractions.

Sixth graders work with mathematical expressions by interpreting, analyzing and problem solving with them. In this two step algebraic problem solving lesson, 6th graders use algebra tiles to solve equations.

Students explore the Civil War through original maps.  In this mapping lesson, students calculate distance and show it on an original map. Students examine the type of landscape and its landmarks and draw symbols on the map.

Students solve one step linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students manipulate their variables and numbers to answer each problem. They make sure the equations stay balanced at all times.

Students determine the cost of a t-shirt using a variety of mathematical operations to solve problems. Then they use a spreadsheet to calculate the cost of lettering a t-shirt and display this information in a graph.

Students collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

Students, in groups, measure and record each other's height. They identify measurement conversion methods and use online resources to convert measured heights to multiple systems.

Seventh graders practice math skills while they become familiar with Texas' Boom & Bust economy and the natural history of the east Texas Piney Woods.

Young scholars research and collect data regarding temperature changes for a specific location and find the mean, median, and mode for their data. In this climate change lesson, students choose a location to research and collect data...

Students work with patterns to develop formulas that will help them determine total cost. For this patterning lesson, students watch a video about an NBA trainer. (not included) They work in groups to access the assigned Internet...

Second graders become familiar with need strategies for computation of money problems and estimating sums. In this computation lesson, 2nd graders solve real life problems to understand estimation and money problems.

Help third graders make sense of the Common Core math standards with this simple checklist. By rewording each standard as an I can statement, children are provided with clear goals to focus on as they participate in math lessons.

Learners demonstrate their ability to operate with rational numbers through a five-question assessment that includes questions ranging from simple operations with integers to solving two-step equations with rational coefficients.

All hail the king! Young mathematicians put their skills to the test as they strive to become the king of math.
