Students examine the Michigan state quarter and discuss the effects glaciers have on land formation. They perform an investigate using ice cubes and sand to show how glaciers have carved the land.

In this maximum and minimum activity, students solve and complete 10 various types of word problems. First, they find the numbers if the product of the square of one of the numbers with the cube of the other number is to be a maximum....

Young scholars use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

Check out the handout from a presentation that contains a collection of high school algebra projects connecting a variety of mathematics to the real world. Activities range from simple probabilities to calculus. The activities...

An excellent resource for a geometry class, as well as for an electrical engineering course. A thorough reference sheet covers geometric shapes such as triangles, parallelograms, and circles, as well as 3-D shapes and the Pythagorean...

Students, in groups, participate in a simulated lunar mission. They roll a Lunar Cube to determine the type of information they will collect during their mission and strategize as to which "lunar location" they need to visit and,...

Fourth graders investigate the causes of erosion. Through several demonstrations including one using sugar cubes and warm water, they observe the effects of erosion. In groups, 4th graders conduct similar experiments and record their...

Sixth graders study how erosion affects archaeology sites. In this investigative instructional activity, 6th graders construct a model of a pyramid using sugar cubes. They will investigate in groups how water, wind, and sunlight affects...

Students study the water cycle including condensation, evaporation, and precipitation. In this water cycle instructional activity, students watch a video and access assigned web sites to investigate the water cycle. They complete an...

Which item is shaped like a cone? Use this multiple-choice shape recognition worksheet to give students access to shapes in their everyday life. Four questions ask scholars to identify which of the pictured items is shaped like a sphere,...

Students explore fractions. For this math lesson, students use unifix cubes to model fractions. Students identify 1/3, 1/2, 1/4. 1/8, 1/10.

Students work with counters and math mats to demonstrate number concepts. In this number concept lesson, students use cubes and configuration cards to show more or less than given numbers.

First graders work with partners, using cubes to make addition sentences. In this math lesson, 1st graders separate cubes into 2 parts and discuss the relationship to addition sentences. Students practice separating cubes. Students make...

Students measure their own silhouette using Unifix cubes. They measure a drawing using non-standard measurement. They swap drawings and compare their measurements.

Students demonstrates one of the few cases in which geologic solids visibly deform at room conditions. They suspend a weight on a thin wire over an ice cube to observe its effects over time.

Students observe a scientific experiment and pose a hypothesis. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students make predictions about the combination of alcohol in water and how it will affect a floating ice cube.

Fourth graders use a 100's chart, Unifix cubes, graph paper and colored pencils to experiment with patterns. They arrange their Unifix cubes on the 100's chart and then identify and record patterns on the graph paper.

Students practice their area and perimeter measurement. In this measurement lesson, students watch a video about perimeter and area. Students measure a gym for perimeter and area. Students write number sentences for the area and...

Sixth graders identify and replicate two dimensional illustrations of three dimensional objects. In this spatial visualization lesson, 6th graders practice viewing objects from various sides. Student participate in stations to view...

Students explore addition facts with sums to 18. Using Unifix cubes, students demonstrate addition sentences. They use a variety of manipulatives to illustrate addition facts for different sums. Students participate in a flash card game...

Students turn solid water (ice) into liquid water. In this solid and liquid water lesson plan, students use water, ice, cups, and heat in order to change water from one state to another. They draw their findings as well.

Students explore water and ice. In this 3 states of matter lesson, students work with a partner to observe, illustrate, and describe the characteristics of an ice cube in a cup. The ice cube is observed again in 15 minutes and changes...

Six problems consisting of sets of tens and ones cubes are arranged for aspiring mathematicians to analyze. For each problem, pupils write down the total numbers of cubes and then use < or > to identify which set is the least and...

First graders participate in a variety of math activities that emphasize the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. They order numbers on the number line, compare numbers, create letters using numbers on a 1-100 number chart,...
