Take young scholars on a trip through history with this unit on the mathematics and architecture of the Mayan civilization. Starting with a introduction to their base twenty number system and the symbols they used, this eight-lesson unit...

Upper graders explore division through fair-shares. They will review fair shares and fractions as a segway into division. They start by playing "Share Fairly" game and create mathematical arguments for solving problems. Manipulatives and...

Twelfth graders examine multiple aspects of statistics. In this mathematical reasoning lesson, 12th graders solve problems on probability, logarithms, exponential relationships and transforming rectilinear shapes. This resource contains...

Twenty-one pieces of tagboard can lead your class to a greater understanding of integers when you use them to form a human number line. After creating this math tool, two strategies for adding and subtracting will have your...

Kick-start children's education with this pre-school math unit. Offering 31 different hands-on learning activities that develop young mathematicians' pattern and shape recognition, basic number sense, and much more, this is a...

The creation of arrays is the focus of this mathematics lesson plan. Pupils consider a situation for a theater stage performance: different amounts of people are coming to the show, and they must arrange the seats in rows of equal...

There are four main topics in this bundle of lesson plans. They don't need to be taught sequentially. Each lesson has three parts: a starter, a main activity, and something to help consolidate and provide reflection on concepts learned.

The lesson says it is intended for 4th grade but it is suitable for grades 1-3 as well. The class discusses what it means to add, the commutative property of addition, and mathematical reasoning. This is an exercise in number sense,...

Upper graders investigate the commutative and associative properties. In this mathematics lesson, learners explore the difference between the commutative and associative properties, and practice solving problems using these two properties.

Make learning visible! Have your mathematicians follow along as you use paper strips to demonstrate the concept of multiplying unit fractions. Then, offer a different way of solving the problem using a number line. Finally, introduce the...

Students research The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art and Chinese contributions to mathematics using both print and non-print sources. From their research they create an illustrated table of contents for each chapter of the Nine...

Students explore mathematics. In this math lesson, students identify addition signs and create math problems by rolling dice. Students participate in a game of bingo to increase their mathematical knowledge.

OK, now this is a cool resource. It contains ideas for 7 stations intended to be used by kids and their parents during family night at school. Each station engages learners (of all ages) in using scientific reasoning and mathematical...

Here is one of the better lessons I've come across on how to teach fractions and decimals. This lesson does a great job of showing how these two mathematical representations of numbers are interrelated. Some excellent websites, printable...

Combines mathematical measurement with gardening skills. Third graders hunt for worms in the garden and try to find the longest one. They also measure and weigh vegetables that they harvest from the garden, measure rainfall amounts,...

Your young learners will enjoy mathematics that is meaningful correspondence as they play their way to a deep mathematical foundation. Organized around the math standards, this appropriate sequence of conceptual, preschool...

Students explain note values and relationships, especially dotted rhythms and tied notes by giving them a visual, hands on representation

Students use formulas to find the area of geometric shapes. For this measurement lesson, students create a table of formulas for finding the area and perimeter of various shapes. Students read the book Eight Hands Round, and find the...

Students explore the concept of spelling geometric terms and words with number prefixes. In this spelling geometric terms and words with number prefixes lesson, students play a game of baseball. Students spell words correctly to advance...

Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...

Third graders review the commutative and associative property in mathematics. Using a worksheet, they work together to identify the patterns between the 32 triangles. To end the activity, they create their own array and exchange it...

Learners work in groups to describe plants using numbers. In this number lesson, students use numbers to define plants and then use numbers to write descriptions of themselves.

Elementary schoolers utilize a pattern worksheet embedded in this plan to work on a deeper understanding of geometric concepts like symmetry and congruency. Since geometry is such a visual form of mathematics, this instructional activity...

Here is a game that combines exercise with math skills. In this mathematics and P.E. lesson, students hold balloons that have a number written on them, and for a set time do not let the balloons hit the ground. They must catch a balloon...
