Pupils to use cooperation, communication, problem solving, and math skills.

Discover the difference between standard and non-standard units of measure with your class. They differentiate between rectangles and squares, read a book, measure a peer's height. They then discuss  measurement methods, make...

Students construct and maintain a school garden. In this gardening lesson, students plan the construction of the garden by writing letters to local businesses asking for supplies and materials; students build the garden using their math...

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Fourth graders implement real life application of money, problem solving, economics, and consumer awareness.  In this three week economics unit, 4th graders operate a business, write checks, balance accounts, and market their...

Students order numbers and sets of objects from 0 through 10 and organize and interpret information collected from the immediate environment. They read and interpret graphs usin real objects and the computer. Finally, students sort a...

Sixth graders design and draw a model playground to scale. They configure the layout to include a sandbox, slide, baseball field and other equipment. Their design includes adaptations for students with disabilities. Their designs are...

Make history come to life by using the Frontier House series to engage young scholars in the past. Your class will "prepare" for a trip to 1833 Montana. They will learn about homesteading, frontier life, inflation, and cost of living....

Students record their daily activities and graph the results using the educational software program called Inspiration. This lesson is intended for the upper-elementary classroom and includes resource links and activity extensions.

Ask elementary young scholars to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show...

Learners investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon lesson, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral triangles to solve...

Student work in design teams to research robots, create a drawing of a robot they want to make, build a prototype of their robot, present their prototype and research, and write a descriptive paragraph about their creation.

Second graders create a bar graph to pictorically represent the data collected from a survey of students. They use Excel to electronically create the graphs and data tallies. They then interpret their data using sentences to explain.

Students identify the properties and theorems of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students construct angle bisectors using a compass and straight edge. They identify triangular similarity and congruency.

Learners investigate Menelaus Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of polygons. They differentiate between boundaries point, interior points and area of lattice points.

Students prove and use Ceva's Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students analyze polygons for patterns and calculate the area of each shape. They relate polygons to the real world.

Students factor trinomials using specific steps. In this algebra lesson, students factor polynomials following the steps on a smart lesson. They review important vocabulary to help with solving the problems.

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. For this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Students practice solving systems of linear equations using the substitution and elimination methods. They determine if the system has one, infinite or no solution. Students also graph the linear equations.

Sixth graders review equivalent fractions by using folded paper and shading in different amounts. In this fractions lesson plan, 6th graders review fractions with the paper, and then go onto internet sites to practice concepts on...

Young scholars gain knowledge by measuring time and distance for solving unknowns in an equation. They also will design an airplane and chance to communicate mathematically by writing essays.

Second graders graph data based on a class survey of their favorite breakfast foods. In this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders take a class survey of their favorite breakfast foods. Then they take that data and put it into a computer...

Fifth graders utilize strategies to solve a variety of problems and create problems of their own. They write explanations of problem solutions and using a checklist, evaluate themselves.
