Students explore geometry by utilizing stackable blocks in class. In this shape identification lesson, students discuss the different characteristics of squares, rectangles and circles while creating them with building blocks in class....

Students define the five rules of loci. In this geometry lesson, students identify the locus of points that creates a circle. They calculate the distance from a fixed line and point.

Students investigate the different properties of a unit circle. For this geometry lesson, students identify the six different values of trigonometric functions. They solve trigonometric equations using values derived from the unit circle.

Students read graphs and charts to interpret results. In this algebra lesson, students interpret bar, line and pictographs. They draw conclusions and make predicitons based on these charts.

Learners solve quadratics by factoring. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations using two different methods. They solve the equations and graph using the intercepts.

Students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. In this algebra lesson, students write linear equations using the slope and y intercept. They write equations given two points that are on the line.

Fifth graders use the SMART Board to demonstrate how to use a protractor to measure acute, obtuse, and right angles. For this protractor lesson plan, 5th graders also complete an angles worksheet.

Students examine the outcome of adding one to a group of items. In this number sense lesson, students create stacks of chips and count them. Then, students add one more chip to the stack and count the chips again. Students discuss their...

Students investigate the associative property of addition. In this associative property of addition activity, students work in pairs and build addition problems with six blocks. They sit on either side of a desk so that they can "read"...

Students become familiar with appropriate containers for various shapes.  In this container lesson, students find containers that best fit their object. 

Learners develop a pictograph using the months of the year. In this months lesson, students place their name with their birth month on a large pictograph. They discuss the information they can see on the graph using the proper names for...

Students use a balance scale with beans or seeds to estimate how many of them would weigh as much as a teddy bear counter. In this estimation lesson plan, students hold items to estimate.
