First graders examine the number line as an addition strategy. In this math lesson, 1st graders create a number line and use it to help them solve addition problems.

First graders solve number sentences. In this problem solving lesson, 1st graders construct addition sentences using a part part whole mat. Students demonstrate problem solving strategies using cubes.

Third graders create their own chenille stems to use during this and future lessons. As a class, they discuss the difference between equal and non-equal groups. In groups, they brainstorm a list of items that come in groups of two,...

First graders identify different coins and use their values in combination with each other to buy different objects. In this coins lesson plan, 1st graders identify the value of a quarter, dime, nickel, and penny, and use them to buy items.

First graders explore money. In this coins value lesson, 1st graders discover the values of all the U.S. coins and practice arranging them in order to buy objects. They will play a game as a class to practice the skill of using money to...

Students examine debating procedures. In teams, students research the effects of European-Aboriginal interaction. Students collect, analyze and interpret information to support their side of the debate.

Students examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to...

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Students engage in the lesson that covers local community history by taking a field trip to a local graveyard. They do various activities prepared by the teacher that includes finding local important people who once lived in the community.

Students explore the Mandelbrot Set. They are introduced to the concept of a complex number and function in order to motivate the discussion of Julia and Mandelbrot sets. Students investigate fractals and how they are built.

Students examine a sculpture by the artist Jin Soo Kim, and discuss the concept of recycling paper. They create a tree sculpture using recycled paper and reusable paper products.

Fourth graders identify major components of a "Cinderella" story in order to create a database.

Twelfth graders problem solve limit/function value situations. They solve the problems using a graphing calculator, which allows them to see the function's graph, and infer the function value and limit from the graph.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Students build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using...

Young scholars build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by...

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

Young scholars explore uses of the calculator. They explore using reading strategies to solve problems. Students recognize when calculators are useful. They construct real life situations for calculator use.

By studying cave paintings, students learn about prehistoric cultures and the stories and ideas they wished to communicate to others through art. The lesson plan presented on this website aims to show young students the significance of...

Use this activity from Crayola as part of your Kwanzaa celebration. The lesson plan incorporates social studies and visual arts as students learn to create the traditional Adinkra weaving patterns used on Kente cloth. Combine several...

In this lesson, students will study examples of treasure maps and make a list of features and symbols. They will use their imaginations to create their own treasure maps and compose narratives to describe them.
