Students solve problems using equations and properties of integers. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems using ratio and proportion and graph their answers on a coordinate plane. They solve word problems using geometry.

Students complete a Cirlce Map about time. They recall times during the grouchy ladybugs travels, and add dots on ladybugs using turn-around facts. Pupils correctly sequence the events of The Grouchy Ladybug. Students compose new...

Students use glue, toothpicks, cardboard, marshmallows and more to build a structure. For this building lesson plan, students budget money to get their materials and make their building in teams.

Fourth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating the effects of water and air temperature on precipitation. They create graphs demonstrating their findings using Claris Works for Kids.

Third graders, in groups, dissect a variety of brands of chocolate chip cookies and calculate the mean for each brand. They create their own bar graphs, pictographs, and line graphs to represent information.

Students in this exercise are introduced to the distinct ways of measuring distance (nautical miles) and speed (knots) at sea, as well as the concepts of latitude and longitude for establishing location.

Students use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic equations...

Learners examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students determine the answer to trivia clues and perform the indicated operation.  They then write that answer if the box which correspond to the letter of the clue to form a magic...

Pupils calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Students solve real life situation using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length, midpoint and slope of segments. They solve word problems using properties of square roots.

Students create original survey questions, and develop a bar graph of the data on paper. They input the survey data using two variables onto an Excel bar graph spreadsheet.

Eighth graders will create model drawings of bridges and integrate technology into the process of creating a visual representation. Technology is used in the industry of design and architecture. This lesson helps to build real life skills.

Pupils graph lines using the calculator. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph lines of equations in the form y=mx+b. They input equations into the TI Calculator and graph using the slope and intercept. They analyze the graph for...

Young scholars evaluate directions by participating in a maze activity. In this labyrinth activity, students identify the history of mazes and labyrinths and utilize Google Earth to examine real life mazes. Young scholars create...

Eighth graders use the unit price to compare which local grocery store has the best prices. Assign students to work with a partner and a role. One person is the recorder and the other is the mathematician.

Second graders work with liters and milliliters for measurement.

Students become "shape detectives" as they identify, name, create and describe common shapes within pictures and objects found within the learning environment. Suggestions include incorporating shapes into all learning areas and daily...

Fifth graders explore real-life situations of area and perimeter. They develop a list of real-life applications of area and perimeter, select a situation, and write a step-by-step procedure and diagram on graph paper for solving the...

Students explore jobs related to agriculture. For this technology/agriculture lesson, students recognize the importance of natural resources and agriculture on the use of Range Rambler software. Students complete an experiment and a...

Students decide which issues are most important to their student body and work in cooperative learning groups to write editorials. In this editorial writing lesson, students brainstorm a list of the most important issues and bring...

Students research the historical background of the potato. In this potato research instructional activity, students cut out the important dates in potato history. Students make a timeline for the events.

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the domain and range of each function. They use the slope and y-intercept to graph each line.

Young scholars uses atlases, maps, and Web resources to determine the distance, driving time, and amount of money they need to make the trip (estimates should include hotel/motel stays, meals, and souvenirs).
