"If You Hopped Like a Frog" by David M. Schwartz

 Students represent an animal in a drawing using accurate ratio and/or proportions. In this proportional reasoning and literacy lesson, students listen to the book If You Hopped Like a Frog by David Schwartz. Students work with a group...

Students investigate the lives of frogs by completing several worksheets.  In this biology lesson, students discover the life cycle of a frog from tadpole to death.  Students complete frog life cycle puzzle as well as create a life cycle...

I like algebra, but graphing is where I draw the line! Worksheet includes three multiple-part questions on interpreting and drawing line graphs. It focuses on the abstract where neither axis has numbers written in, though both are...

Get your frogs hopping by introducing them to the concepts of ratio and proportion. As a class, they perform arithmetic operations using ratios then discover how they represent quantitative relationships. In groups, they write their own...

Students search for and generalize an algebraic pattern. They make and analyze a coordinate graph.

If you are given the value for slope (m), and the value for the intercept (b), all you need to do is remember what the slope-intercept form looks like. Y=mx+b. Then you just have to plug the given values into the slope-intercept line of...

Students perform mathematical operations to create proportional measurements, after listening to the David Schwartz book, If You Hopped Like a Frog.

Have a hopping good time teaching your class how to collect and graph data with this fun activity-based lesson series. Using the provided data taken from a frog jumping contest, children first work together creating a line plot of the...

If you are given the value for slope (m), and the value for the intercept (b), all you need to do is remember what the slope-intercept form looks like. Y=mx+b. Then you just have to plug the given values into the slope-intercept line of...

Students explore scientific notation and the structure of the metric system.  In this middle school mathematics lesson plan, students read How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz to introduce students to the need for scientific...
