In this national symbols bar graph worksheet, students will ask their classmates which national symbol they would most like to visit and record the responses to complete the graph. There are 5 symbols from which to choose.

Students discuss and create their own patterns. They practice and improve on making patterns of their own using red, white, and blue paper for a national theme. The symbols are based on what the teacher picks for the class.

Young scholars find symbols and patterns in everyday life. In this patterns lesson, students break into groups and look for specific patterns and symbols. Young scholars record their findings. Students create a graphic organizer with the...

Students use objects and symbols to create original linear patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also translate patterns from one modality to another.

Challenge the class to utilize their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions to determine the intersection of the parent quadratic graph and linear proportional graphs. Using the pattern for the solutions, individuals develop a...

Help learners translate word problems into algebraic equations. They will rewrite words using symbols and evaluate algebraic expressions using real life scenarios, animation sequences, video presentations, and activities to help students...

Algebra students use manipulatives to solve linear equations. They use manipulatives, symbolic methods, and substitution to demonstrate each algebraic solution.

Second graders examine the designs on nickels before 2004 and after when the new Peace Medal nickel was minted. They research the events that preceded the new design and explore the symbols of friendship on the new coin. They work in...

Students demonstrate fraction symbols. In this fractions lesson, students use paper strips to represent various fractions. Students then use fraction circles to compare various given fractions.

Students access information at remote sites using telecommunications, identify impacts by reviewing past El Ni??o events, make and use scale drawings, maps, and maps symbols to find locations and describe relationships.

Fourth graders work in groups to research fair trade products from various countries in the world. In this fair trade instructional activity, 4th graders work in 5 groups and make a chart or graph to detail the important information from...

Young scholars study the types of symmetry that appear in different basketball symbols. They point out changes that rotate symmetry from one type to another.

Students use expanded notation. In this mathematics lesson, students determine the place value of a digit within a whole number. Students use manipulatives, words, and symbols to represent whole numbers.

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

Students recognize patterns and represent situations using algebraic notation and variables. For this variables and patterns lesson, students identify a pattern involving the number of tiles required to form a border around a pool given...

Students explore how math is relevant to Native Americans. Students investigate Indian culture through geometry. They describe and create geometric polygons and patterns. Students problem solve with tangram patterns to make Indian...

Students rewrite equations using algebraic symbols. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations using the slope and y intercept. They make predictions about their graphs and analyze the results.

Learners complete addition and subtraction activities. In this addition and subtraction lesson plan, students write a sum with missing numbers or symbols and use parts of their bodies to show the missing symbol or number. Learners guess...

Students make observations of effigy mounds and record them in a notebook. In groups, they must determine the scale of measurement and create their own grid to scale part of the Effigy Mounds National Monument. They also practice using...

Young mathematicians utilize video, the internet, and hands-on learning experiences in order to recognize that fractions aren't as "scary" as they first appear, and that we use them every day in our lives. The hands-on activities in this...

Groups explore sets of 10 items in two varieties (i.e. 3 white buttons and 7 black ones, or 5 bears and 5 bunnies). They brainstorm about their objects, write math sentences to represent what they have, and report their discoveries...
