Students investigate the properties of two and three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate polygons based on similarity and congruence. They make observation and interpret the data.

Students distinguish between proper and improper fractions. They create a "Character Clue Box" that represents a fraction. Fractions are picked from a hat and then groups go outside and search for items that represent their fraction....

Students utilize a digital camera to record interesting objects in their environment.  For this ecology lesson, students participate in a mini-field trip around their campus as they take 2-3 pictures of the school environment....

First graders sequence the development of a plant. In this plant life lesson, 1st graders listen to a story about how a plant grows, students view a PowerPoint presentation and learn new vocabulary. Finally, students sequence the stages...

Fifth graders create polygons requested by their teacher. For this polygons lesson, 5th graders watch a video and listen to a song about polygons. Then, students take turns labeling various polygons and practice making polygons.

Eighth graders complete seven work stations that highlight math activities while they focus on the rules for Internet use and classroom rules for working in cooperative groups. After completing the activities, they complete a self-...

Pupils factor binomials and apply it. In this algebra lesson, students use patterns to factor difference of squares and FOIL to factor other binomials. They apply the concept of binomials to vertical multiplication.

Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using problem...

High schoolers investigate the concept of measurement and using a ruler with accuracy up to 1/16 of an inch. They practice using measurement with a ruler in different contexts. To help with the presentation of the lesson a PowerPoint...

Students investigate basic concept of fractions by using a version of the game Jeopardy. The game is played using a television monitor or projector for the integration of technology. The lesson is highly engaging and can hold student...

Young scholars explore the concept of linear inequalities. In this linear inequality lesson, students graph linear inequalities using Microsoft Excel.

Students work as a team to build a freestanding bridge from newspapers and masking tape and analyze the effectiveness of their group. In this teamwork lesson, students view and summarize a video on Service Learning Projects. Students...

Students explore functions using real world application. In this algebra lesson, students play a game as they apply concepts of function. They graph their findings and discuss it with the class.

Young scholars solve and graph inequalities on a number line. For this algebra lesson, students solve using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and graph their solutions using open or closed circles. They graph with...

Students solve systems of equations graphically. In this algebra lesson, students find the point of intersection of two lines if they are not parallel. They rewrite the equation in the y=mx + b form and graph using slope and intercept.

Students solve equations and label it as a function or not. In this algebra lesson, students make a table of values and graph their equation. They identify the domain and range of each graph.

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students investigate plate tectonics by observing a cracked egg shell.  In this Earth science lesson, students draw borders of continents on an egg shell, only to watch it crack in a glass.  Students record the breakup of the...

Students solve problems using matrices. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract and multiply matrices. They use the graphing calculator to simplify and graph linear equations.

Students rewrite word problems using symbols. In this algebra activity, students rewrite equations graphically, algebraically and verbally. They relate the concepts to the real world.

Eighth graders will create model drawings of bridges and integrate technology into the process of creating a visual representation. Technology is used in the industry of design and architecture. This instructional activity helps to...

Third graders talk about all the various ways they get to school. They make a list of all the bus numbers that the students use. They also list all the other methods of transportation used and solidify a hypothesis.

Sixth graders collect weather data to compare temperatures around the world. Using the Internet, learners collect data, put it into spreadsheets, and analyze and graph the results. An interesting way to cover the topic of weather.

Students complete a unit of lessons on computing area and volume. They play a Jeopardy game of basic area formulas, calculate surface area of shapes, develop a Powerpoint presentation, and conduct a simulation of finding the surface area...
