Learners explore the concept of the binomial system of nomenclature for classifying organisms. Students travel on a field trip to observe organisms displayed and their common names. Learners complete several classroom activities and...

Have your class practice alliteration using this lesson. Learners listen to stories with alliterative elements and create their own sentences illustrating this technique. The lesson is incomplete, but could be enhanced to provide a...

Students observe the cracks in school walls and pavements. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore the factors to be considered before building a structure. They complete a graphing and calculation...

Students solve problems using the pythagorean theorem. They use critical thinking skills in order to use a systematic process to solve the problem. Upon solving each problem the uniqueness of the lesson is asking students to give an...

Have your class review how to identify right angles. Learners identify right angles, and then write the number of angles found in each shape.

Young scholars explore line,shape,color and repetition,to create unity and movement. They discuss Joseph Stella's Battle of Lights, Coney Island and visuals of roller coasters. They use colored pencil techniques and create an artwork.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math instructional activity, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. For this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

High schoolers explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals activity, students discuss Sierpinski's Triangle using an applet. High schoolers discuss the patterns involved with fractals. Students discuss the area of Sierpinski's...

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Sstudents explore and analyze the properties of geometric areas.  In this geometry lesson, sstudents use technology to simulate spinners and dartboards in order to fing areas of circles and sectors of circles and compare and...

Second graders use empty pizza boxes and pattern blocks to create a Save and Rave Box, which is a 3-D portfolio.

Students calculate percentages using the Percent Tricks method. They multiply and divide whole numbers. They count total number of candies in a bag and calculate the percent of each color.

Fifth graders work with polygons.

Third graders spell words and define homophone.  In this making words lesson, 3rd graders decipher words from letter strips in an effort to identify the "secret word". Students use a set of letters to spell different words. 

In this math worksheet, learners find the values associated with the geometric transformations. They read the instruction sheet for completing matrices with translations, rotations, reflections, and scaling by adding and multiplying...

Students use maps to learn about the U.S. Census. In this 2010 Census lesson plan, students visualize census data on maps, use map keys to read population maps, and explore the concept of population density.

Students are introduced to the basic trigonometric identities. Using a diagram, they discover why the parts of the unit circle as named as they are and use equations to finalize the Pythagorean trigonometric identities. They also review...

Fifth graders review the terms narrative and classic poetry. They are introduced to SMUGGLER'S SONG and compare the structure to recently read poetry. They join in on the refrain reading the story together as a class.

Learners explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Learners place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Young scholars actively engage in the careful analysis of chromosome banding patterns and identify examples of inversion in homologous chromosomes.
