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

Students do an experiment with probability. In this probability lesson, they listen to part of the book G is for Googol: A Math Alphabet Book by David M. Schwartz. They complete 3 probability experiments and check to see how close their...

 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...

Young scholars investigate the lives of frogs by completing several worksheets.  In this biology instructional activity, students discover the life cycle of a frog from tadpole to death.  Young scholars complete frog life cycle puzzle as...

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...

Learners 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...

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

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 instructional activity, students read How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz to introduce students to the need for...
