New Horizons began its journey to Pluto in 2006. Ten years later, it continues its mission. In that time, scholars have surely grown, but how much more will they grow by the time New Horizons reaches its destination? Find out with an...

Students inspect divisibility rules. In this divisibility rules lesson, students study the relationship between factorization and the divisibility rules for 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10. Students read One Hundred Hungry Ants and A Remainder of...

Students are given the difintion of translational motion, which is the object in motion stays in motion. If you are in a car and the car stops, you keep moving. They then discuss rotational motion, which is a spinning object continues to...

Students test their knowledge of the Wright Brothers and their aircraft, and compute ratio of two numbers to determine the ratio between wing span and length of aircraft.

Students are introduced to rotational inertia with some example of objects that rotates: Throw a Frisbee acroos the field and it rotates as it moves. The same is true for a baseball and a football. The two motions, translational and...

Let coordinate pairs show you the way home. Scholars plot houses on a coordinate plane with given coordinates using an interactive app. Alternatively, they can identify the coordinates of houses already plotted on a coordinate plane.

Fly through graphing functions with the Function Flyer. Young mathematicians use an interactive to graph different types of functions. A set of exploration questions has users investigate patterns in functions.

There's nothing negative about this mini-unit on integers! Engaging young mathematicians in a series of hands-on activities and collaborative learning opportunities, this resource offers an excellent way to introduce your class...

Addition and subtraction are studied in this math lesson. Upper graders add and subtract whole numbers up to 1,000 with and without regrouping.

Constructing decimals correctly is a crucial concept for elementary students to grasp. Here, have the young mathematicians in your class explore standard and expanded form while comparing decimal values. This unit is taught while...

Here is really nice set of resources on scientific notation. Eighth and ninth graders explore the concept of multiplying and dividing in scientific notation. In this multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation...

Second graders explore estimation and place value. In this place value lesson, 2nd graders estimate and construct numbers while working with spider activities. Students use addition and subtraction to compare estimates. Resources and...

Learners determine how to make the largest sum of money using the least amount of coins. For this mixed currency lesson, students listen to a reading of If You Made a Million by David M. Schwartz before participating in money counting...

Students simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...

Students explore averages by completing a data analysis activity. In this bell curve lesson plan, students measure different food items and plot their measurements on a X and Y axis. Students create bell curves around the average weight...

Students study division. For this math lesson, students arrange manipulatives into equal groups. Students discuss the relationship between multiplication and division.

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.
