First graders represent, compare, and order numbers. In this counting skills lesson, 1st graders use manipulatives to demonstrate one-to-one correspondence and to represent numbers. This lesson includes a teacher script to guide the lesson.

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

Students investigate numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers and number systems. They comprehend the meaning of operations and how they relate to each other.

After examining three sets of images, young counters determine which represents the desired number. There are six problems total, with numbers between 1 and 5. This would work well for kindergarteners during a day when you have...

Natural human interest in patterns and algebraic study of function notation are linked in this introductory unit on the properties of sequences. Once presented with a pattern or situation, the class works through how to justify...

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

This un-scaffold summative assessment tasks learners to use the height of a bouncing basketball, given the data in graph and table form, to choose the model that is represented. Learners then use the model to answer questions about...

This highly scaffolded, summative assessment tasks learners to choose the model that represents the height of a bouncing basketball given the data in graph and table form. Learners then use the model to answer questions about the...

Little learners recognize symbols, objects and how to depict numbers. In this matching instructional activity, they can match the number names with a set of items, model ordinal numbers, and complete a cute, cartoon-character worksheet.

The California missions were built with the hope of converting the local Native Americans to Catholicism, but exactly how different were their beliefs to begin with? Through analysis of a series of primary source documents,...

Create rows and rows of vegetables. Pupils use their knowledge of multiplication to find the number of vegetable shoots planted in a garden and ways to arrange the vegetables in the performance task. Teachers use the suggested unit...

Step up or step down to rounding. Using a vertical number line, the lesson plan 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...

What do hula hoops and the American system of government have in common? Using hands-on station activities, pupils consider the roles of the three branches of government. A script for teachers and writing prompts help round out a...

Second graders develop number sense. In this number sense activity, 2nd graders use multiple ways to represent numbers including written numerals, tally marks and manipulatives. Students correctly use place value to the thousands place.

In this algebra activity, students apply the concepts of a right triangle to help them solve for the missing sides of a triangle. They use the quadratic formula to solve word problems. There are 5 problems with an answer key.

In this nuclear decay learning exercise, high schoolers read about alpha and beta decay and the isotopes formed by the reactions. Students solve nine problems including writing the equations for the decay of radioactive isotopes,...

In this online number sequences activity, students work out the answers to eight comprehensive exercises with thirty-eight calculations involving a variety of sequences. Students answers are automatically graded online as they go and...

In this integers online interactive worksheet, students complete a chart on adding integers and rewrite 11 positive integer questions without the positive signs. Students solve 2 online integer word problems on the lines provided.

In this thermochemistry instructional activity, learners indicate whether the given processes are endothermic or exothermic reactions. Students complete the phase change diagram as well as define a given set of vocabulary words. Learners...

Learners practice grouping in different ways by putting numbers up to 1,000 in the correct place value. In this place value lesson plan, students estimate items in a jar and then count them out by grouping them by 10s.

Students explore expanded, standard, and written forms of numbers. In this number sense lesson, students examine the various ways of writing numbers as they complete a Venn diagram activity.
