Help young learners visualize the concept of "a million." To convey concepts of numeration and literacy, they will listen to the book How Much is a Million? by David Schwartz. They should be able to make self-to-text connections....

A learning task that involves creative ways of thinking permits children to use paper models as a way to visualize the fraction one-half. Learners can fold or cut their models in such a way that the unshaded regions, and shaded...

Working backwards can sometimes help you see a path to solving a problem. In this chapter, properites of quadrilaterials are proven by looking at flowcharts and working the probem backwards. Worked through examples are given, along with...

Students listen carefully and put pieces together following the teacher's instructions. They point to the different shapes and sizes as they are being called out and count the number of items they have in front of them. They decorate...

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

Students solve linear equations and identify the unknown. In this algebra lesson, students define a variable and use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve. They change the equation depending on the value of the...

If you are looking for a simple way to review equivalent fractions, this is a great resource. Using a visual means and a series of examples, learners review this skill. There is a worksheet provided and a prompt to encourage pupils to...

Base ten blocks serve as visual representations of numbers that include decimals to the hundredths place. Children compare and order decimals in their math journal as they build the corresponding numbers with base ten blocks.

How much is a million? This unit has a set of lessons investigating large numbers on the order of millions and billions. A culminating project has groups creating a slideshow and poster about large numbers found in the school and/or...

Students collect data from an experiment they perform. In this data lesson, students use multiple representations to solve practical problems; describe advantages and disadvantages of the use of each representation. Then, they evaluate...

Here is an interesting lesson on how old things are designed for young scientists. In it, learners compile a list of their birthdays, and the class puts them in sequential order from youngest to oldest. Then, they sequence 15 objects...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers recognize symbols that influence the choices that we make consciously or unconsciously in everyday life. They look at the symbols and choices that others make. They identify and apply knowledge of...

Students use index cards, counting cubes, and their own understanding to identify how division problems can be solved by using multiplication. In this division lesson plan, students use their multiplication skills to solve division...

Students study the law of sine and cosine. In this pre-calculus lesson, students create a triangle and identify the different ratios of a non-right triangle. They use the properties of sine and cosine to solve.

The best way to teach young scholars how to compare fractions is using visual means. This instructional activity suggests a variety of ways to help learners understand this concept using a SMART Board, Kidspiration, videos, computer...

In this visual height of buildings worksheet, 2nd graders practice estimating how tall four other buildings are compared to a building that's 10 feet high.

In this angles in alphabet letters worksheet, 3rd graders study 6 capital letters and answer 8 mathematical questions relating to the angles of each letter.

For this decimals worksheet, students evaluate a set of 100 small cubes, some of which are shaded and some which are not. They then answer the first 6 questions by writing the decimal for the shaded and unshaded regions on the spaces...

In this connecting dots worksheet, students see a specific number of dots in a box. Students connect as many dots as possible and on a table, record the number of lines used. Students see a pattern.

In this visual thinking worksheet, learners match a group of 9 geometric shapes with the robot that could be constructed using them. There are 4 questions.

In this shape counting worksheet, students write how many of each shape they see in the pictures. They complete 3 examples in this visual thinking exercise.

In this visual thinking worksheet, 1st graders compare shapes and identify the pattern. Students identify and match four shape patterns.

In this visual thinking worksheet, students solve 3 problems in which an intricate block design is copied on a blank grid. The directions could be confusing to students on this page.

In this visual thinking worksheet, students analyze 50 different symbols in a grid. Students must find 10 specific symbols in the puzzle and color or circle them.
