Second graders investigate the physical properties of cantaloupe using their senses. In this life science lesson, 2nd graders estimate the weight of their sample. They get it's actual weight and compare it with their estimate.

Learners create a map. In this direction and distance lesson, students come up with familiar places in the community and calculate the distances from these places to the school. Learners create a map that displays these places and their...

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...

From catching stars developed by African pygmy tribes to chop stix pick-up or the Hanukkah dreidel, use this list of diverse multicultural activities to help your learners draw connections to unique cultures of the...

Pupils examine how archaeologists preserve context of sites through use of rectangular grid or Cartesian coordinate system, and develop sense of distance by pacing off and estimating distances.

Students find patterns relating the lengths of the sides of squares to their areas. In this squares and square roots lesson plan, students draw squares and find their areas. They estimate the sides of square when given the area. Students...

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.

Students use graph paper to construct a graph and determine the slope of a straight line. They determine the weight (mass) of paper clips with a pan balance. Pupils weigh an unknown number of paper clips, and to interpret the graph to...

In this math learning exercise, students try to fit a line to a set of data. Then they use the least squares method is based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the errors.

Students explore the concept of estimation. In this estimation lesson, students discuss making estimates through teacher led discussion. Students use the Internet to complete an activity where they must estimate the length of lines.

Second graders practice their estimation skills using blocks. In this math lesson, 2nd graders explain how estimating makes addition easier. They complete a worksheet after the lesson to reinforce new learning.

Students explore how jelly beans are produced. They discuss the origins of the jelly bean and view a video about how jelly beans are prepared, tested, shaped, finished, and shipped and estimate the amount of jelly beans in a jar and sort...

In this online math worksheet, students complete a 20 problem multiple choice online interactive worksheet with mixed skills including geometry, rounding, and three digit multiplication.

Students practice descriptive writing. In this unique writing lesson, students hear a story about a mitten. Then three grade levels come together to first, create a mitten on KidPix; second, describe the designed mitten; and third, try...

Fifth graders develop strategies for estimating ages, and illustrate results by graphing and interpreting scatter plots to compare x and y coordinates.

Middle schoolers estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Fourth graders investigate measurement of linear and curved surfaces. In this math lesson, 4th graders discuss how to measure curved surfaces and work with a partner to measure various curved surfaces.

Young scholars describe major topographic features on the Patton Seamount, and interpret two-dimensional topographic data. They create three-dimensional models of landforms from two-dimensional topographic data.

Young scholars determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available...

How accurate is data collected from a sample? Learners answer this question using a simulation to model data collected from a sample population. They analyze the data to understand the variability in the results.

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...

Students solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the sides and angles of a right triangle. They find the different trigonometric ratios and solve using sine, cosine and tangent.

In this circles and cylinders worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 22 various types of problems. First, they collect data for a radius and circumference for several different circles and calculate the quantity. Then, students find...
