Working as a pair, two kindergartners will sit at a table and will pick two handfuls of counters. They will combine their individual handfuls into one, and count their own selection. They will then draw and record their count on a record...

Young scholars solve volume problems. In this geometry lesson, the class watches a video about clean water (link provided) and individuals compare the volume of different prisms, including an actual drinking glass. Extension activities...

What a scam! Middle and high schoolers pose as journalists exposing consumer fraud. In this lesson, they write an article for a magazine using data collected during previous investigations (prior lessons) to defend their findings that a...

Geometers employ a straight edge and compass to duplicate and bisect segments and angles, construct perpendiculars, parallel lines, figures, and circles with points of concurrency. Ample practice with 65 questions across 8 worksheets. No...

Explore the many paths to get to four in this addition and subtraction worksheet! Learners walk through the steps of the options: adding two numbers, adding three numbers, and subtracting two numbers. They examine which...

Fourth graders utilize fraction bar manipulatives to compare a variety of fractions to the fraction value 1/2. Pupils are put into groups, and they begin to see how fractions that look completely different actually represent the same...

What are the chances that there will be rain and lighting today? Use this activity to study independent and dependent probabilities with your class.  Learners explore the differences between P(A and B) and P(A or B) using mock...

If a can has a volume of twelve ounces, how tall it should be? If you can work with volume formulas, it's is an easy measurement to find. After finding the volume of figures in the previous lesson of the series, learners now...

A steal of a deal — get four angles for the value of one. An interactive resource allows individuals to visualize all four angles that have the same reference angle. Pupils answer questions by using the interactive to create the...

Find out if vectors are equal in the classroom. Pupils use the interactive to create vectors showing the movements boys perform in rearranging classroom furniture. The scholars determine which boy moved furniture the farthest, or if they...

Use this plasma clouds worksheet to have learners find the density of 10 different plasma clouds using a given formula which uses the reflection frequency to determine the density.

Scholars will compare fractions using objects and pictures. They view pre-made pictures and concrete objects of fractions. Then use small white boards to draw pictorial representations of fractions.

Discover the procedure to add and subtract matrices. Pupils use the interactive and discover the pattern in adding and subtracting matrices. Scholars adjust the entries in the addends and see the resulting changes in the sum. They also...

Eighth and ninth graders solve and graph 24 different problems that include completing input/output tables and graphing the pairs. First, they find the missing values for each table and write the rule for x. Then, students write the...
