Students define sample, describe a random sample, and discuss what compromises a sample. They determine a sample size to estimate a population characteristic with confidence.

As scholars become more confident with their multiplication facts, give them some two-digit practice problems to solidify their skills. They solve 30 vertically-aligned problems, regrouping where necessary. All of these have one 2-digit...

A dripping faucet may be enough to drive you crazy, but it also teaches you a little about ratios. Presented with the volume of a sink and the rate the water is dripping, scholars must devise a plant to determine how long it will take...

Combine numbers and pre-reading by counting the words in a sentence. Kindergartners  begin by counting objects in the room, putting a counter down for each number. Do this a few times to get them confident with the skill before...

Learners develop a pattern for problem solving. They gain confidence in their ability to solve problems and are introduced to mathematics help online.

Students practice sight word recognition using dolch word lists, or high frequency words. They' mastering of these words helps with reading skills, and builds reading confidence. This worksheet combines sight words with money recognition.

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Which rate is greater and by how much? Pupils continue to compare rates to solve problems in the 20th portion of a 29-part series. Rates are presented in a variety of representations either using the same representation or different...

How does a cheetah life cycle differ from a human life cycle? Kids graph weight gain for humans versus cheetahs and compare other life cycle events such as gestation and life span

The brother-sister pair Carlos and Clarita need your class's help in developing their new pet sitting business. Through a variety of scenarios and concerns presented to the siblings, the learners thoroughly explore systems of equations...

Geometry—it's not just for the math classroom! Learners explore the field of forestry through a mathematical lens. An instructional resource explains how forest workers collect data about trees such as height, diameter, and age...

Everyone loves math when it includes food! This lesson tries to take the notion of combining like terms in algebra and comparing it to sorting apples and oranges. It takes a step-by-step approach to helping students understand this...

Young scholars use problem-solving approaches to investigate mathematical content. They formulate problems from situations within and outside mathematics content. They warm up with a survey done by the teacher. Everyone uses practice...

Students examine the dynamics of family finances. In groups, they discuss the importance of a budget and create their own given a fictional amount of money. As a class, they listen to a speaker from the bank discussing the importance of...

Young scholars play an easy card game that reinforces skill such as: basic number recognition, greater than or less than, and odd or even number.

Students define accuracy and precision, and differentiate between the two terms, apply the concepts of accuracy and precision to a given situation and correctly apply the concept of significant figures to measurement and mathematical...

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

Students explore game theory.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, students plat the game of HOG using dice and explore the optimal strategies.  Students play the game three ways:  any number of dice, a fixed number of...

Students investigate Microsoft excel. In this technology lesson, students create formulas using excel and apply these formulas to solve relative, absolute and mixed reference cells. They perform immediate and delayed calculations.

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

Students study chemistry.  In this laboratory lesson students watch the CSI episodes and investigate their laboratory techniques and discuss what they saw.

Students participate in the Hare and Tortoise Game and the "Castle Warwick" problem (from an Addison Wesley text). They use the computer to practice resampling statistics and explore different approaches to their tasks. They present th

Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.
