Bring math and reading informational text together with a reading comprehension lesson. After kids read about isosceles, scalene, and equilateral triangles, they answer five comprehension questions to demonstrate how they can use context...

Developing fluency with basic addition and subtraction is fundamental to the success of all young mathematicians. This four-day lesson series begins with learners using ten-frames and hundreds charts to recognize patterns when adding and...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

An interactive assignment displays two example angles to teach how to measure them. When you click on the angles, a protractor appears! As practice, learners view a set of angles, estimate the size of each, and then enter the degrees in...

Students investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students read the book The Greedy Triangle and define the shapes mentioned in the book. Students make the shapes by using their bodies.

Students convert between decimals and fractions. In this algebra activity, students show their knowledge of numbers by putting them on a number line. They apply the concept of algebra to solving word problems. Students will use a Ti...

Students design an environmentally friendly home.  In this middle school math/science lesson, students watch videos on creating green design.  Students work in collaborative groups to determine what makes a house green and to...

In this globe learning exercise, students learn how longitude is measured on a globe. Students read the information before answering 5 questions. A globe will be required.

Loaded with concepts ranging from multiplying decimals to converting units to solving problems using the order of operations, a thorough practice packet is perfect for a fifth or sixth grade math classroom.

Sixth graders investigate the concept of an angle. They classify an angle according to its type. The lesson has students practice with acute, right, and obtuse angles. A unique part is when telling time using clock hands is related to...

Learners complete an Excel project on tessellations. In this technology and math lesson, students discuss tessellations and their occurrences in nature. Learners use the Excel computer program to create tessellations.

Eighth graders examine probability. Students read real life situations involving math. Upon completing probability problems, they express their answer as a fraction, decimal or percent.

A hands-on lesson created students use beans as manipulatives to solve addition number sentences. Requires the book, Mission Addition by Loreen Leedy.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Students investigate basic mathematical properties to solve multiplication and division problems. They solve word problems that are part of the lesson plan. Students are required to give written or oral justification for how they solve...

Second graders examine the commutative property of addition and the property of zero in addition and subtraction. They complete an asessment worksheet to gain practice reading and working number sentences horizontally and vertically.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Third graders review angle criteria and then stand. They demonstrate with their hands each type of angle called out by the teacher: right, acute, or obtuse. Music is added and students follow teacher in an angle aerobics class peppered...

Examine multiple ways to solve algebraic equations. Pupils will generate a problem solving strategy that addresses the prompt given by the teacher. They will then share their problem solving strategy with the class. Graphic organizers,...

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.

Pupils work with large numbers and recognizing mathematical symbols and the factorial symbol and its meaning.

Students use several examples to create a method for adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. They present these methods to the class and then practice applying methods to sample problems.

In this algebra worksheet, 10th graders apply inductive reasoning as they figure out the next number in the sequence or pattern. There are 53 problems.

Second graders further develop simple addition facts and their ability to record the facts.
