Wheels for Jack and Jill

Teach young engineers that all machines, no matter how complicated or complex, are made up of just six simple devices with this hands-on physical science lesson. Using the included templates, students first create paper models of...

Learners use the basic facts in 6 word problems to help them add hundreds. They use base ten blocks to model and assist them with their addition.

Aspiring astronauts construct a space vehicle using cylinders, cones, spheres, and rectangular prisms. This is an engaging method of learning about three-dimensional shapes. Note that the word cylinder is constantly misspelled in the...

Students study the basics of trucks and transportation vehicles. In this transportation vehicles lesson, students study pictures of basic key truck components and recognize differences between various product transportation vehicles....

Aspiring space engineers design a rocket launch platform together to explore materials. The platform needs to be lightweight so that it can be transported easily, but super strong so that it can support the weight of the rocket and its...

Help learners solve problems using multiplication and repeated addition. Using counters, learners will be paired up to solve problems. They will go through a series of questions and show models with the counters for the solution. Then...

First graders sort toys by various attributes. They, in groups, sort toy vehicles by color, size etc. and then explain how they chose to group the toys. They write, draw or dictate an explanation of their sorting methods.

Pupils explore estimation and organizing data. In this estimation lesson, students discover how to organize estimates in their math journals. Pupils also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students demonstrate how to organize data by writing down their estimations and actual findings, demonstrate how to make estimations by writing estimations about how many beans can be held and compare their estimates to their actual data...

Students describe, draw, and classify shapes. They use the internet to research the X-36 aircraft. Students identify the geometric shapes in the aircraft. They calculate the number of sides in an x-36.
