Get your class out in the environment for hands on math activities. In this wetlands lesson, learners transplant native plants, calculate how much soil is needed, and perform math activities based on this experience. They then make...

Have a hopping good time teaching your class how to collect and graph data with this fun activity-based activity series. Using the provided data taken from a frog jumping contest, children first work...

Not only is pattern recognition an essential skill for young children to develop, it's also a lot of fun to teach! Over the course of this lesson, class members participate in shared readings, perform small group...

Students are provided with a multimedia Power Point presentation that explains the educational opportunities that are available at the St. Mary Catholic School. They are presented with all facts along with the community as a whole and...

Sixth graders find the perimeters of polygons and use perimeters to form polygons. In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders study vocabulary associated with finding perimeter such as polygon, line segment, variable, and formula. They make...

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks as edges.

Learners explore the concept of polygons on a two-dimensional plane. They identify polygons in everyday life and draw different polygons according to their classification. Using a geoboard and geobands, they consrtuct polygons and even...

Students research the new Foreign Language Academy and other free summer programs at colleges for teens. They write features stories about the opportunities and interview deans and university officials. Students also interview school...

Eighth graders determine which numbers are rational numbers. In this number lesson students answer a series of questions related to natural and whole numbers as well as integers and rational numbers. Students work cooperatively in groups.

Students measure distances using parallax. In this math lesson, students explain how this method helped astronomers with their studies of the solar system. They determine the length of their arm using parallax and compare it with other...

Seventh graders practice identifying coordinates by examining a city map.  In this graphing lesson, 7th graders create coordinate directions on an index card and practice locating these locations on a grid.  Students read and...

First graders, in groups, discover which colors absorb heat and which colors best reflect heat. They do this using the scientific method.

First graders identify combinations and patterns in this lesson. They manipulate an alien picture with 10 arms - 5 red and 5 blue. They use an individual alien picture to identify as many combinations as possible. Students compare...

Pupils investigate different equations and think critically how they could represent a real-life situation. They should write a word problem to coincide with the given equations. The lesson plan requires students to use critical thinking...

Students identify the relationship between relations and functions. In this algebra lesson, students investigate and find the slope of a line using a graph, 2 points and an equation. They calculate the slope from a set a data points...

Students investigate the concept of integers and how they should occur in the realm of irrational numbers. The lesson includes the use of positive and negative integers. The lesson is a good foundation in order to move into calculating...

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The lesson has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.

Learners use a visual to introduce the Distributive Property. The lesson is chronologically numbered and follows a distinct plan. The class works with the teacher to complete the lesson. The plan is not written in a traditional way, but...
