Young scholars visit a school or public library and study how information is organized. In this information management lesson, students answer a group of questions about the organizational method of the library. Young scholars then...

As a follow-up activity to being introduced to the Dewey Decimal Classification System, 3rd graders listen to poems from Jackie Mims Hopkins' book The Shelf Elf Helps Out and sort book jackets by category and call number.

Young readers sort pictures into real and make believe categories. In this real and make believe lesson plan, students have a discussion about things that are real and things that are make believe.

Beginning readers practice identifying alphabet letters using upper and lower case letter tiles. Each class member is given a T-chart, letter tiles, and a name card. They then separate the letter tiles in their name from those not in...

What’s in a name? Letters, of course! Partners place the letters of their names on a Venn diagram. Letters they have in common are named and placed in the overlapping area of the circles, while letters unique to just one of the names are...

What's so special about slope? Pupils first match cards with slope and y-intercept to graphs of linear equations. They continue the lesson by matching equations in slope-intercept form to the same graphs.

Learners first determine the slope-intercept and standard forms of inequalities given graphs, and then determine key features of the graphs.

Round and round we go. Learners first complete a task on writing equations of circles. They then take part in a collaborative activity categorizing a set of equations for circles based on the radius and center.

Identify the identity. Learners first solve equations to find the number of solutions. Scholars then determine if given equations are always, sometimes, or never true, leading to the concept of identities.

Do your kindergartners love playing with toys? Bring that passion to this matching activity, where they draw a line from illustrations of toys to matching toys. For extra fun, have them do the same activity with actual toys and hula hoops.

Maestro Magnificent, swimming pool, magic wand. Persons, places, and things are the focus of a worksheet that asks kids to identify the common and proper nouns.

Winning a lottery game with 60% odds sounds like a no brainer. This is when the math kicks in to show players that in the long run, they lose money the more often they play. Here is one simple question that opens the doors to a nice...

It all depends upon the terms. Pupils use the interactive table to sort polynomials. The scholars determine the names for the types of polynomials based on the number of terms.

They say it runs in the family. Small groups use a card sorting activity to group graphs of functions into families. After grouping by families, the class develops conclusions for parent functions and create a graphic organizer.

M&M's are always a great manipulative to use when teaching math. In this graphing lesson plan, learners predict how many of each color of M & M's there are. They count up each color and plug the data into a graph using the...

Students construct patterns with apples. In this mathematical thinking and patterning lesson, students compare and contrast several types of apples. Students complete patterns with a SmartBoard activity, and then draw apple patterns on...

Based on a selection of images, learners create a bar graph depicting how many of each image is shown. There are two graphs, each with three images to chart. After they are finished, scholars can analyze the data and draw conclusions. To...

Go fish! Preschoolers and kindergartners work on matching and patterns. This resource prompts little learners to match certain fish to the correct fisherman. They then count the types of fish and write the number in spaces provided....

When physical science classes are becoming familiar with the periodic table of elements, you can use this set of printable cards to help them memorize some of the members of the metals, metalloids, and nonmetals groups. There are 24...

With so many different types of triangles, it can be a challenge for young mathematicians to keep them all straight. Luckily this set of printable triangles is here to engage children in comparing and sorting triangles by their...
