Learners use a shortcut method to change one metric unit to another (Ex: kilometers to centimeters), by using a diagram which uses words students can relate and remember.

Sixth graders explore different geographic relationships in like drawing lines, rays, and parallelograms. This instructional activity could be used for review because it covers more than one concept. The students should have prior...

Ninth graders investigate the concepts of ratio and proportion.They solve examples with the teacher for ratios and proportions. A basic fraction review is used for a warm up in this lesson. The primary focus of the lesson appears to be...

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.

Sixth graders explore probability. They analyze a class chart and list the letters of the alphabet according to frequency. Using the data collected, they complete probability problems.

Sixth graders study the probability of single events. Given a bag of marbles, they discuss and find the probability of single events. In groups of two, 6th graders complete additional activities, predicting the probability. Students...

Geometry adventurers study circumference of a circle as they listen to Sir Circumference and the Dragon Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander. In groups, they use string to measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects and...

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that explores probability. They use candy and model cubes to experiment with different outcomes that can be charted if the students can proceed to the objective of the lesson. They discover how...

Sixth graders inspect prime and composite numbers. Using graph paper, they draw as many different shaped rectangles as possible. They use the dimensions of the rectangles to discuss prime and composite numbers. Students create a chart...

Young scholars participate in a lesson that covers the concept of finding the circumference of a circle. The teacher covers relevant vocabulary with the students. They work in groups to measure objects and calculate the formula to find...

Sixth graders practice the conversion of percents and fractions. They focus on the fact of both fractions and percents are part of a whole. In the independent practice the students also work with solving proportions.

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

Ninth graders investigate the finding of the diameter of a circle in order to extend the practice towards finding the circumference. They differentiate between the distance measured across a circle from that of around the perimeter.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson that involves the concept of inequalities. They translate the words of problems and put them into a visual illustration. The illustration should include a number line for assessment.

Tenth graders investigate the Elimination Method in the solving of equations. They solve the equation using this method in examples with the teacher and then transfer the new knowledge to independent practice.

Students will construct a golden section and a golden rectangle and study their characteristics and connections with the Fibonacci series. They import pictures from the internet and download them into the Sketchpad. Using their "golden"...

In this calendar worksheet, learners learn to use a calendar to find the elapsed time using the dates in the word problems. Students solve six problems.

In this mean, mode, and median worksheet, students solve the word problems by finding the mean, median, and mode. Students solve six word problems.

Seventh graders are grouped according to their ability level with a captain who is elected by the students in that particular group. Students demonstrate their knowledge of rational and irrational numbers by defining them. Students use a...

Students explore all the careers that deal with math, science, technology and engineering. They assess the importance of clearly explaing yourself in writing, making public presentations and utilizing technical jargon in dealing with...

Third graders discover how the use of pattern is evident in dance, math, and visual art. They create a tessellation pattern, as well as a square dance that show an understanding of the principles of design (balance, repetition, rhythm,...

Fourth graders interpret the weather data they gathered in Investigation 6. They take an average of each component in each season. They compare the same components of each season and write the differences they see between the seasons.

Students measure the circumference of an object to the nearest millimeter. They also measure the diameter. The relationship of the two measurements is taught and how the value of pi came into existence.

Students focus on the shape of numbers.
