Young scholars calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

Students use cross-multiplication to find the unknown respiration rate of an astronaut. In this multiplication lesson plan, students also use the same process to find missing values in proportions.

Young scholars demonstrate visually Mankind's relative place on the earth's timeline. They familiarize themselves with the use of the metric system in measuring and producting a timeline.

Students explore data collection through the use of tally marks. After a demonstration of the use of tally marks students complete various inquires where they create a chart documenting the number of times a desired result happens. They...

First graders recognize and learn the value of coins. In this instructional activity on money, 1st graders read the book Monster Money by Grace Maccarone, discuss the role of money in society, identify various coins, and explore making...

Sixth graders create word problems. In this sixth grade mathematics lesson, 6th graders use digital cameras to photograph interesting events around school and create word problems for their photographs that address the key concepts...

Students solve problems using equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the correct symbols and steps when solving word problems. They graph their lines and analyze the slope using tiles.

Students identify the effect the change of dimensions causes for the volume and surface area. In this geometry lesson, students compare perimeter, area and volume as they play around with the dimensions of the polygons. They discuss...

Fifth graders work with polygons.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of computing the area using different shapes. They use prior knowledge in order to devise a formula for a parallelogram. Scaffolding is provided by the teacher to find the formula of area for...

Students recognize the need for a standard unit of volume. They estimate and measure to the nearest liter. Also they relate the liter to the familiar everyday containers.

Students explain about their experiences on the farm and draw pictures to show what they know. Students read the recipe for the piggie pie that Gritch was going to use. Students estimate and then measure how many pigs it would take to...

Fifth graders use Cuisenaire rods in order to discover how to represent fractions with real objects. In this lesson on fractions, 5th graders first examine and learn the colors, lengths, and numerical values of each rod; then, students...

Students use numbers as descriptors. In this mathematical inquiry lesson, students use numbers to describe, classify, and compare plants. Students are made aware that numbers can be used to describe things in the world around them.

Students explore the concept of concurrent lines in triangles. In this concurrent lines in triangles lesson, students work in groups to investigate properties of concurrent lines in acute, right, and obtuse triangles. Students use a...

Students use maps, scales, and describe locations in order to learn about spatial sense. In this spatial sense lesson plan, students participate in many activities for this spatial sense unit that should last throughout the year.

Students create a reading nook. In this measurement lesson, students find a spot in the classroom to turn into a reading nook. They need to measure how much space they need to fit students and supplies into their nook. 

Young scholars explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this gravitational force instructional activity, students define several scientific terms associated with force. Young scholars utilize a styrofoam cup and marbles to...

Students write and solve parametric equations. In this algebra lesson, students find and eliminate parameter of equations. They graph parametric equations and analyze the graphs.

Fourth graders explore number sense by completing word problems in class. In this estimation instructional activity, 4th graders define terms such as sum, difference, estimate and best. Students complete estimating worksheets based on...

Young scholars explore number sense by completing a number set worksheet. In this fractions lesson, students utilize pattern blocks as a visual reference to the fractions they practice identifying. Young scholars read the book...

Students roll dice to come up with 1 digit numbers that they multiply together. In this multiplication lesson plan, students arrange piles of blocks and count them to complete problems.

Pupils complete computer activities about estimating if items are more or less than a given amount. In this estimation lesson plan, students also estimate measurements around the classroom.

Students explore the area of rectangles. They practice finding area by playing an onliine computer activity where they calculate the area of a rectangle to solve a problem.
