Take stroll around the classroom while teaching young mathematicians to count fluently with this whole-group math activity. The teacher starts things off by walking around the room while counting up from the number one and continues...

What a scam! Middle and high schoolers pose as journalists exposing consumer fraud. In this lesson, they write an article for a magazine using data collected during previous investigations (prior lessons) to defend their findings that a...

Explore the joy of math with you little learners! They practice creating math problems with numbers from a fact family using numbers 1-10. They work independently with a set of connecting cubes to aid them in creating number sentences...

These four lesson plans build algebra skills for working with numbers in exponential form and for examining triangles. Be aware that in the text, scientific notation is referred to as index notation and the laws of exponents as the laws...

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.

Choose to supplement your probability unit with this resource and you won't be disappointed with the outcome. Teach young mathematicians to organize information using tree diagrams and lists in order to determine the possible outcomes of...

Students read the story "My Little Sister Hugged An Ape" and make a list of sensory words from the story. In this interdisciplinary math lesson, students participate in sensory writing, and complete a questionnaire which they will use to...

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

This computation math review PowerPoint enables students to review concepts such as subtraction, addition, multiplication, fractions and division. This PowerPoint is based on the "Jeopardy" game show and allows students to participate...

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...

The star of the show is ratios. The informative resource explains how to transpose music using ratios. Individuals transpose the song "Twinkle, Twinkle" in the activity by applying their ratio skills. The activity challenges class...

Even Seveth Graders can have fun engaging in a jigsaw activity. They discuss and define equations, inequalities, expressions, and algebraic symbol strings, cards representing each concept are passed to learners. They mingle with each...

The hunt is on! Young mathematicians follow clues and complete a series of ten math puzzles as they try to crack Dr. Integer's code and find the location of his hidden treasure.

Elementary schoolers engage in a game of logical reasoning called Secret Sort. A Venn diagram is used as a way to sort objects. This resource would be a great way to introduce the Venn diagram (maybe the most famous, and most-useful...

I really like this clever lesson on using peanuts to help facilitate the learning of addition and subtraction for your young mathematicians. Youngsters use peanuts as "counters" for a variety of math problems that include greater than...

More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

Subracting mixed numbers is the focus of this math presentation. The graphics, and explanations of the process are particularly good in this one. Many fine practice problems are present, and feedback is given for each answer arrived at....

Touchdown! This is an exponentially insightful lesson that explores the growth of football games with different video game consoles. Class members discuss whether the increase of mergahertz can be described as linear or exponential....

Carryout the lesson to determine the cost of pizza toppings from a Domino's Pizza® website while creating a linear model. Learners look through real data—and even create their own pizza—to determine the cost of each topping. They...

First graders create number sentences.  In this math lesson, 1st graders use M&M's to make number sentences.  Students create charts using the color of the M&M's as data.

Fourth graders perform computation based on a cup of rice.  In this rice math activity, 4th graders complete math examples and problems using rice for manipulatives. Students participate in an online game based on rice math.

Fourth graders practice basic subtraction facts using a number grid.  In this rice math lesson, 4th graders figure out how much more they need to get to a specific number.  Students complete a chart of examples and then play a...
