So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

How can kids use math to learn about marine life? Combine math skills with science lessons in a resource featuring activities about life in the sea. Kids graph and calculate data, solve complex word problems, measure geometric shapes,...

In this number look-alike worksheet, 2nd graders look at the numbers in 2 stars, determine how they are alike and write another number in the middle that belongs to each group of numbers. Students make and fill in 2 additional stars...

In this solar storms activity, students read an excerpt from the book "The 23rd Cycle: Learning to Live with a Stormy Star". Students answer 7 questions about the effects of solar storms on radiation exposure, health risk of airline crew...

In this counting worksheet, students examine pictures of animals that live in the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They describe the animals by telling how many of a specified characteristic they have. Example: A sea otter has one tail.

Students study the basic methods for finding one's position on Earth. Latitude can be deduced from the height above the horizon of the pole star or of the noontime Sun, while longitude requires an accurate clock giving universal time.

Students explore symmetry. In this geometry lesson, student identify and define bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, pentagonal symmetry, hexagonal symmetry, and cubic symmetry. Students construct examples of these types of symmetry and...

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a coordinate plane.

Students study patterns. For this symmetry in nature lesson, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.

In this symmetry worksheet, students put organisms into categories of having line symmetry or rotational symmetry and answer questions about them. Students put 8 organisms into the chart and answer 3 questions.

In this consumer math challenge worksheet, students solve problems using the titles and prices of books at a book fair. Students solve 4 problems.

Learners explore measuring tools by calculating heights and lengths of random objects. In this distance measurement lesson, students utilize the Internet service MapQuest to measure the distance between their current towns and many other...

First graders listen to "One Is a Snail, Ten Is a Crab", a story about a crab with ten feet and counting by tens. They create their own crab to practice counting by tens to one hundred.

Young scholars use various types of people and the special places they each call home. They discover houses, like the world, are always changing. Students start out by brainstorming what was the one thing that made a house a home. They...
