Sorting big and small objects builds spacial reasoning classification, and visual discrimination skills. Your class will read a story about big and small bubbles, practice identifying big and small objects, then sort big and small balls...

What a fun way for youngsters to practice numbers! Using Playdough (or another type of moldable dough, which can be made at home easily), learners create lengths to place over large number cards, tracing the numbers 1-10. Then, they...

Model the flight of a ball. Small groups collect time data for how long it takes to toss a ball between two people. The teacher leads a discussion about projectile motion to get the class thinking about how to calculate the equation of...

Instead of the typical function application problems, learners think a little deeper through these ten problems. Multiple types of functions are represented and the questions add a variety of thinking to practice their skills. 

When presented with categorical data, a two-way frequency table is a great way to summarize the information. Pupils organize categorical data using a two-way table, then use the tables to determine missing data and to calculate simple...

Reinforce math skills with an eight-page exercise that stretches scholars' computation muscles through 13 order of operation problems. 

Reinforce math skills with an eight-page exercise comprised of 15 problems covering the concept of ratios. 

Boost math skills and inspire scholars to show what they know with a six-page independent practice that focuses on proportional relationships and percents. 

Have your class participate in a variety of sports and craft activities using this resource. With sports as the theme, learners work on art projects. Students create soccer ball prints, a three dimensional football, and a sports collage.

Examine wood bugs and their habitat. Learners gather wood bugs and examine their bodies. Then discuss their body parts and how they help them survive. They also predict where they think wood bugs live to then graph the class results.

Six word problems make up this mixed practice worksheet. Pupils work with money, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing using numbers up to 250. 

Reinforce math concepts with a mixed practice worksheet. Scholars use their knowledge of addition, subtraction, and working with money to solve five word problems. 

Students recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...

Now this lesson sounds fun! Young scholars throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

Students understand how they can incorporate dietary guidelines in their daily life.  In this investigative lesson students set dietary goals and incorporate an activity to learn how to create a new seed variety while studying...

Studying function means more than simply learning a formula. Learners must use functions to think through four problems and find solutions. Each task utilizes a different concept from a study of functions. Class members might...

High schoolers explore the formulas for volume of three-dimensional objects. They participate in various activities involving ice cream, ice cream cones, small candies, and gum balls, recording their calculations on a lab sheet.

If Earth is modeled by a grapefruit, what planet could be represented by a golf ball? This activity uses everyday and not-so-everyday objects to create a model of the Solar System.

Given ten pairs of numbers, mathematicians find the least common multiple for each. The numbers span from 2-30, and are generally introductory for this skill (no curve balls). Encourage learners to write out multiples alongside the...

Group that class and get them classifying and sorting figures as congruent or similar. They use magazines to identify and label similar and congruent figures, cutting out images and placing c or s next to each image.

Pupils to use cooperation, communication, problem solving, and math skills.

Third graders review the effects of gravity on how objects move. In groups, they design a roller coaster and share it with their classmates. Using materials given to them, they build their roller coaster and let a ball roll on the...

Students watch a video clips before problem solving the use of angles in real world situations. They problem solve using spatial reasoning while connecting math to a sports activity that investigates the path of a bouncing ball.

Learners investigate the art of baseball. In this sports instructional activity, students discuss their thoughts about the sport of baseball and create a baseball word list. Learners use pattern blocks and drawing paper to...
