First graders read fluently. In this phonics lesson students practice reading strategies for fluency. They write a response in their journal about the book read in class.

Young scholars analyze and represent weekly sales figures using tables, bar graphs, and pie charts. They draw conclusions using bar graphs and pie charts. Students are told that each day at school they have the option of buying or...

Students study the Japanese art of Koi Nabori or carp kites. They create their own carp kites with repeating patterns.

Students use unconventional units of measure to estimate and measure.

Sixth graders represent division of fractions using manipulatives, such as freezer pops, candy bars, and models such as drawings squares. They develop an algorithm from these examples and solve problems using fractions.

Third graders name different kinds of shapes and then discuss what they know about them an what they would like to learn using a K-W-L chart whole group. They listen to the book, THE GREEDY TRIANGLE and then retell it to the class. They...

Students use their understanding of 3D on 2D to make a representation of a 4D form on paper.

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Students explore the world of geometric shapes by writing poetry. They use the Diamante Poetry worksheet. They select one geometric shape and, using the template, create their own poem.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Learners investigate current models for Lunar and Martian settlements and study the mathematics behind these designs. They design their own Lunar or Martian settlement with an explanation of why their model would work best.

Students explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

Sixth grade students: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

Fifth graders investigate the concept of finding the circumference of a circle. They demonstrate why the formula works with a hands on experiment. There is detailed instructions for carrying out the technical portions of the experiment.

Fifth graders explore fact families. They solve simple math problems. Students determine which mathematical property is used to solve the given problem. They are given five minutes to complete as many mathematical facts as possible.

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Students, by drawing on their own experiences, discuss and examine the basic physics of flight. They participate in a variety of activities regarding flight.

Students predict what computers, games, or products be like in 2030. They think about and design futuristic products.

Students brainstorm a list of nocturnal and diurnal wild animals they see in their community and discuss how the animals would be different if they were living during the Ice Age. Using a handout, they discover how archeologists record...
