Young learners listen to a read aloud of Gail Gibbons book, Apples and the story A Red House With No Windows and No Doors. They compare characteristics of a number of kinds of apples, graph them and create a apple print picture. Learners...

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,...

Do your fourth graders have a hard time showing their work when solving word problems? This helpful instructional activity provides two separate spaces for students to show their work and to fill in the answer. The first problem is...

Human graphs, anyone? Did you eat fruit today? What is your favorite costume? Have your K – 6 learners graph the responses. Early elementary grades may count and compare while upper grades compare responses of different groups or make...

In this multi-faceted introduction to pi, participants perform a bevy of pi-related activities. Ranging from measuring household items to singing pi songs and reading pi stories, this fun and non-intimidating resource serves to bring up...

State the population of the state. Pupils research census data on the total population, the number of children their age, and the number of children of the same age and gender in their states. They write these numbers in standard,...

Thirty seconds are all scholars have to develop an engaging commercial to showcase their talents and experience within a specific occupation. Pairs work collaboratively to keep each other on time to deliver information speedily and ask...

Students examine uses for water. In this water lesson, students discuss how they use water. As a class students make a PowerPoint by naming one swimming safety rule. Students compare and contrast fishing for fun and fishing for survival.

Let's build a castle! Dennis and Cody have big plans, but do they have enough blocks between the two of them to accomplish their goal? A great context that requires students to add and compare mixed numbers. Encourage the use of pictures...

There's more than one way to solve quadratic equations. Scholars learn how to solve quadratic equations using alternate methods. They use completing the square by making the linear coefficient even and the leading coefficient a perfect...

A basic set-up leads to a surprisingly complex analysis in this variation on the question of surrounding a central circle with a ring of touching circles. Useful for putting trigonometric functions in a physical context, as well as...

When they do, they learn. Using this resource, young mathematicians learn about platonic solids by actually building, touching, and examining the shapes. They connect their observations about the shapes to Euler's formula.

This PowerPoint addresses fifth grade math concepts, focusing mostly on geometry. The interactive math review game is in a "Jeopardy" style format and enables students to revisit the topics in geometry such as polygons, quadrilaterals...

In this limitations of formulas worksheet, students answer four essay questions about functions. Two questions refer to the limitations of formulas. They graph one function and explain how it specifies the rule of the function.

Students brainstorm how math is used in daily life. They develop a class list of different topic areas in which math is used and work in small groups to think of specific examples of how math is an important part of their lives.

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. In this measuring lesson, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students compare inches to...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 12 different types of problems. First, they find the volume and total surface area of a given circle. Then, students find the height and radius of a cylinder...

In this electronics worksheet, students perform mathematical operations using binary circuits to answer 11 questions. They explain and analyze schematic diagrams given.

Young scholars explore measurement and estimation with non-standard units. In this measurement lesson, students discuss items that could be used to measure; they use tooth picks to measure specific items around the classroom, both...

Students solve problems using scales and ratios. For this algebra lesson, students create drawings using scales of 1:12. They follow a key to help them draw different buildings using the right scales. They also complete word problems as...

In this graphing and analyzing worksheet, 9th graders first state if each graph represents a linear or nonlinear relationship. Second, they create a difference table for each set of data presented and determine whether it represents a...

In this function tables, money activity, students examine 2 different function tables, where they are given input information. Students determine the rule of the function table, then calculate the missing output values. The first table...

An outstanding presentation on fractions and their equivalents awaits your mathematicians. They view many excellent examples of models of fractions that look different numerically, but are actually the same in value. Terrific practice...
