Explore measuring various objects using square centimeters. Learners create various shapes using five centimeter cubes, calculate the area in square centimeters of different classroom objects, and discover who has the largest mouth,...

Pupils are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

Students learn Counting and have fun all at the same time. They also learn subtraction and adding at as young as you want. They can eat M&M's when the self-taught lesson is finished.

Students explore the Mandelbrot Set. They are introduced to the concept of a complex number and function in order to motivate the discussion of Julia and Mandelbrot sets. Students investigate fractals and how they are built.

Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will...

Students copy and figure out the Mystery Codeword each day. They copy Mystery Code into journal. They match the number with the letter to decipher the code word. They draw a picture to match code word. At the end of the week, the...

Alegebra amateurs identify the slope and the y-intercept given a linear equation in slope-intercept form by correctly completing some in class problems. They write the linear equation in slope-intercept form that corresponds to the given...

Here is a quick 15 minute lesson intended to introduce subtraction. Learners count and subtract gummy bears to complete 5 problems. The lessons suggest that the gummy bears can be saved and used the next day, but gummy bears get gross...

Students use the internet to research the history of Fair Haven, Connecticut. In groups, they are introduced to the socio-economic developments and how the area has grown over time. They work together to create their own bridge design...

Learners solve math problems involving subtracting with regrouping. They practice the steps for subtracting in the hundreds place with regrouping, through teacher guided practice. Independently, pupils complete story problems involving...

Seventh graders study linear equations. In this algebra activity, 7th graders solve and write two step linear equations in one variable.

Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this...

Students identify patterns. In this pattern lesson students discuss what makes a pattern. They find a pattern hidden in the classroom. 

Students apply properties of right triangles to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students identify axioms and theorems using examples.

Student Teachers are given the opportunity to examine how to use a computer-based laboratory for inquiry. The practice is done to teach future teachers how to use these tools so they can be ready for use in the classroom environment.

Learners plot equations. In this graphing activity, groups of students play the "Green Globs" graphing game to practice previously learned graphing skills. However, the author does not include information about how to obtain the software...

Ninth graders explore the point-slope form of linear equations and graph lines in the point-slope form. After completing the point-slope equation, they identify the slope of a line through a particular point. Students explain the...

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

First graders review math skills with M&M's. In this math lesson, 1st graders practice addition and subtraction skills with M&M candies.

Learners explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. For this Mandelbrot and Julia set lesson, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Learners use Julia set and Mandelbrot...

Students participate in a nature walk to learn about their natural environments. In this nature study lesson plan, students brainstorm a list of things to look for on their nature walk. Students go on the nature walk and locate objects...

 Students explore the likelihood of events.  In this logical thinking lesson, 3rd graders are given several scenarios and determine whether the possibility of the described event actually happening is likely, unlikely, or...

Fourth graders, after being given a box of cornbread mix, follow the directions to make the cornbread. They utilize measuring cups to mix all the ingredients together and incorporate adding simple fractions while mixing up the cornbread.

Students practice methods of remembering by association. In small groups, children explore directions of numbers. Students practice procedures for digit reversal correction.
