Pupils use this problem to develop spatial skills. As the students handle the shapes and join them together they strengthen their understanding of the attributes of shapes. This lesson also gives pupils the opportunity to make up their...

Second graders work on the problem with a partner. They examine what they are supposed to be doing. They share the students's solutions making sure than they are looking for patterns along the diagonals.

Students observe the axis of a graph on the board and add the title and axis labels. They plot two points on the graph and join the two with a line and work to describe the story in each of the graphs.

Third graders use number sense and appropriate problem solving techniques to solve the assigned problems. They write out the solutions to the assigned problems. They work in groups to solve the problem before reporting back to the whole...

Learners review the days of the week and see if the students can recite he sequence using different starting days. Learners retell the problem using their own words to check that everyone examines.

Students generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Students work in pairs, to make a square on the geoboards with a rubber band (or draw one on the dot paper). It can be any size and in any location and share their answers with the class.

Pupils examine the math problem, think about it and discuss with their classmates. They work on the rest of the problems in pairs using problem solving strategies and fractions.

Third graders are introduced to the problem with a short discussion about parking. They then solve with a partner. As they work ask questions that focus on the strategies they are using to make the calculations.

Students examine different problem situations that could be encountered during the building of the capitol building. They are divided into small groups and given a card with a problem written on it. Then students brainstorm in order to...

Students learn the combined gas law, undersand how it incorporates all of the different relationships that they have already learned, and manipulate it to solve numberical problems.

Fifth graders determine which container made from a single sheet of paper has the greatest volume. They look the solutions made by three different students before working on their own examples.

Second graders explore the concept of inequalities. They use the mathematical symbols =, <, > to show relationships among numbers. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore the situation.

First graders investigate the aspect of time, including days of the week using a calendar. They use problem solving strategies and a monthly calendar to find a solution to the problem.

Fourth graders use algebra to begin solving a problem. The problem has a real world application to engage learners. The main skill is converting fractions and decimals. Also finding the right number sentence for the word problem is...

Students identify constellations with and without a constellation finder.  In this creating constellations lesson plan students construct a constellation finder to help them to identify the constellations. 

Young scholars draw constellations. In this astronomy lesson, students create constellations from star groupings projected on a chalk board. Young scholars connect the "stars" to create a pattern on the board. Student can create new...

Students explain and use ideal gas law and use the law to solve problems. They use conversion factors to convert mass to mol. Also students use stoichiometry skills previously learned.

Students talk about the types of insects that you might see if you looked in the garden. They then brainstorm for ideas about how to solve the problem, sort objects into categories and display the results and count the objects in a...

Ninth graders divide in pairs 3 cards with the words possible, impossible and certain on them. Ask questions of the class and get the students to hold up the word that describes the event (for example) Tomorrow it will snow. You have...

Students reflect on the needs of male, female, and juvenile inmates upon release from long-term and short-term imprisonment. They examine a post-jail program for Rikers Island inmates by reading and discussing "City Creates Post-Jail...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students solve a word problem in which they must determine the age of their teacher and his children in 1987.  The one page worksheet contains one problem with the solution.

Students learn what happens when a city's population grows too rapidly for the city to accommodate it. They examine and discuss examples of cities growing rapidly today, what problems occur with rapid growth, and ways to solve these...
