Students, as a final project, draw a picture of their ideal neighborhood on a sunny day. In addition to the sun, their drawings include homes, trees, streets, and selected objects. Each object in their drawing has a written description...

Students match definitions with vocabulary words and learn basic facts about matter. Then, they see how to determine the physical characteristics of matter. They determine the mass, volume, and density of objects using appropriate tools...

Students investigate the properties of lines and congruent triangle theorems as well as apply geometric properties and relationships to real-world mathematical problems. Given two different scenarios, they examine maps that have been...

In this multiplying 2-digit numbers worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they multiply by the right-bottom digit and then the left-bottom digit. Finally, they add all numbers together and write the answer.

Third graders investigate the commutative properties of multiplication and focus upon the setting of cubes in the correct patterns to solve problems. They differentiate between numbers that have multiple factors and prime numbers....

Students model formulas for rectangles and squares. In this area, arithmetic and algebra lesson, students explore the formula for the area of squares and rectangles. They use squares to model the formula for the area and identify...

Students explore Cuisenaire Rods.  In this pre-algebra lesson, students work with a partner to generate addition problems with the sum of ten using Cuisenaire Rods. Students construct examples of the Commutative Property using...

Students investigate track and field dimensions, measure an actual track, and construct a scale model. The use of a meter stick, dimensional analysis, and the application of the distributive property to variables forms the main focus of...

Third graders study how to group animals by their physical characteristics. They examine how animals have adapted to have their needs met by the environment.

In this practice worksheet, students solve multiplication equations by using the distributive property, factoring, and the integer rules. They solve 32 problems on this one-page worksheet.

Young scholars compare types of chemical change. In this chemical reaction instructional activity, students use a variety of household items to investigate different types of chemical change. Young scholars will engage in a discussion...

Students explore water properties by conducting a class experiment. In this buoyancy lesson, students make predictions as to whether or not specific objects will sink or float in water. Students conduct the experiment and record their...

Students predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Students measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Ninth graders identify the different laws of exponents. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders write the rules of exponents and use them to solve problems. They use the product, quotient laws to solve problems.

Students observe bird nests. In this observation level, students explore bird nests using their five senses. Students compare and contrast bird nests while hypothesizing about the need birds have to construct the nest.

Ninth graders investigate quadrilaterals.  In this geometry lesson, 9th graders examine and classify quadrilaterals using the slope, midpoint and distance formulas.  Additionally, students create various quadrilaterals given...

Young scholars learn how to make patterns. Students first display their prior knowledge of patterns before delving into the lesson. They complete a worksheet and participate in a web-based class activity. They work in cooperative groups...
