Really neat! Kids choreograph a dance phrase and then measure the distance and speed of the phrase using a timer and a meter stick. They collect the data on a table which they use to determine an average. A series of observation and...

By overlapping combs and window screening and by looking at a printed set of consecutively larger circles, learners observe Moire patterns, which provide a visual of what happens during wave interference. 

What a fun way to practice counting! Print these cards for an easy go-to matching game. Partners take turns playing a memory game, flipping the cards over to try to match a number with the card that has the corresponding number of...

Students explore the the benefits and problems associated with a barter system in the Colonies and trace its relationship to the development of interdependence that this system creates. An experience of bartering is created in this lesson.

Fifth graders review the concept of a line of symmetry by using pieces of paper that have pictures such as, letters of the alphabet, polygons, and designs made from polygons in order to determine if they have symmetry. The fine,...

In this number sense worksheet, students count and identify which set of objects have more or less. Students write their answer in the box provided.

In this fractions worksheet, learners solve 7 problems in which the fractional part of a set of objects is given to show each of the two colors in the set.

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area lesson, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to make a...

Candy: the ultimate high-interest item. A worksheet with photographic-quality images of delectable jelly beans provides 4 opportunities to match numerals from 3 to 8 with sets of the corresponding number of candies. It also introduces...

A chart at the top of this worksheet distinguishes subject pronouns from object pronouns. In each of 20 sentences, learners select the correct form from two given choices. A set of 15 sentences labeled "more difficult" follows. 

Students participate in activities about the five senses. They explore objects, listen to stories and discuss the senses with classmates.

Rules may carry a negative connotation with many adolescents, but this simulation activity reminds them of the importance of a fair and consistent set of laws. It's very simple: pupils are arranged in rows, with the first person in each...

Mornings can be hard with sluggish mathematicians. Get them thinking using this set of 14 morning math problems. Pass these out or simply project them and have students complete individual problems in their notebooks. Skills include...

Rather than simply have your scholars memorize multiplication facts, be sure they understand the process behind each equation. There are four arrays of objects here; mathematicians write a multiplication sentence for each. Next, they...

Here are the number of animals Jackson saw at the zoo; scholars organize data into bar graphs using this instructional activity. Encourage labeling, but consider having scholars do these on another sheet because there isn't room for the...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Which image has four fewer? There are three sets of objects here which introduce subtraction concepts to beginning mathematicians (although the word subtraction and its symbol do not show up here). They count the number of...

Young mathematicians put one foot in front of the other as they learn how to measure length in an elementary math lesson. Using paper cutouts of their own feet, children measure classroom objects as they discover the importance of...

Using a variety of objects, learners conduct buoyancy experiments. They make predictions on which object will sink or float and test their predictions. They use a graphic organizer to record their findings.

A simple pair of counting worksheets (each featuring five sets of objects) gives visual learners an easy path to math. In the first worksheet, they count umbrellas, leaves, airplanes, acorns, and strawberries, circling ten objects in...

Focus on the key word fewer with young counters as they draw familiar sets of objects. For each, they examine an original set (i.e. candies in a jar) and draw a set with fewer. There are nice, clear graphics and kids will enjoy the...
