Time is on your side. Scholars plot three points on number lines with different time units to represent the time it takes three people to bake pies. They determine the fastest baker and the difference in times between the bakers.

There's nothing improper in learning about fractions. Scholars apply an interactive to explore models for proper and improper fractions. They then answer a set of questions in a game that requires building models for given fractions and...

Step up or step down to rounding. Using a vertical number line, the activity shows pupils the significance of rounding up or rounding down. Teachers encourage scholars to write the number in unit form and decide which form helped the...

Construct a fraction kit with your elementary classes. Each learner will get various strips of colored paper. As a class, they fold the different colors into different sizes to recognize that each represents a different fraction. When...

Apply addition and subtraction of integers to solve problems with rational numbers. Pupils apply the rules for adding and subtracting integers to add and subtract rational numbers. Class members represent the problem with equations and...

Apply geometry to find the distance as the crow flies. An engaging lesson compares the distance a car must drive to the straight line distance between two locations. Scholars must manipulate a simulation, note the change in distances,...

Gain some perspective on linear pairs. Aspiring mathematicians adjust the vanishing point on a perspective drawing. They see the effect on linear pairs of angles and answer five challenge questions based on their observations.

Develop a graph to represent the distance between two cars. The assessment task presents a scenario in which two cars are traveling at constant speeds with one faster than the other. Pupils develop graphical representations to show the...

Read De la cabeza a los pies once for your learners before teaching them the body movements that accompany the book. Then, read it again and have the learners demonstrate the movements! There's also a chart to help...

Ribbit ribbit! Hop through a series of activities based on A Tale of Two Frogs. Kids read the Russian folktale and answer reading comprehension questions before working on phonics exercises, tracing dotting lines to make a path...

Rock out with the second installment of a five-part series on earth materials and processes. Your budding geologists make observations of given rock samples and posit classification systems for rocks. They then learn about the...

Will someone please constrain those pets? Pupils create two constraint equations on the number of cats and dogs for a pet sitter. They choose specific points and determine whether the point satisfies one or both constraints. The...

Reading between the lines helps discover important information! The 11th lesson of a 22-part series on American history has scholars use historical thinking skills to uncover the deeper meaning behind the words on a page. Using backward...

Engage young mathematicians in developing their basic arithmetic skills with these great hands-on activities. Using Unifix® cubes to model a variety of single digit addition and subtract problems, children build a basic...

Distance estimates would be easy if the world were a grid. Scholars work to determine the distance between two structures using a coordinate plane. As an introduction, the lesson focuses on vertical and horizontal distances.

For this simultaneous equations worksheet, students solve and complete 7 various types of problems. First, they solve graphically the system of equations shown. Then, students find the number of solutions that each pairs of equations...

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot lesson, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

Use the alphabet as a tool for teaching your class about geometric figures. Break apart capital letters into line segments and arcs. Classify angles as right, acute, or obtuse. Identify parallel and perpendicular lines. An excellent...

An extensive lesson explores equivalent fractions and is intended for three 60-minute periods. Young mathematicians compare and order fractions with like and unlike denominators. Included are worksheets, assessments, and answer sheets;...

Keep your mathematicians engaged using this group linear functions activity. Each of ten groups receives two graphs with both an image and equation, as well as a "who has" phrase to call out the next graph. Scholars stay on their toes as...

Sometimes it is difficult to grasp topographic maps. Here is a clever presentation designed to help your middle school earth scientists understand. Beginning with a side view of a pair of mountains, a graphic guy walks up one slope. As...

This dynamic 4-page packets challenges learners to practice number sequencing. The sequences get progressively more difficult. Your class must count by ones, backwards, by twos, and by threes. Students can complete this packet as an...

In this daily organizer worksheet, students study the left and right hand, the alphabet, and the number line to twenty to help them with their daily tasks.

In this printing worksheet, students practice writing the number nine. Students write the number several times on the given line. Students also color in nine buzzing bees.
