Students explore solving addition and subtraction problems. They solve real life problems. Students participate in a simulation activity to find the missing addend. They demonstrate adding and subtracting whole numbers.

Learners find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume...

Learners reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

Eighth graders compare the volume of three cylinders constructed from the same size sheet of paper. They use concrete and graphical models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, and volume of two and three...

After the book Three Names is read aloud, math vocabulary is introduced . Either alone or in groups, learners use the vocabulary words in a meaningful sentence. Then they complete the provided worksheet.

Factor polynomials using electronic manipulatives. Your class will create a spreadsheet in excel and use it to multiply and perform basic operations and solve problems correctly. They create a visual to go along with each multiplication...

Elementary schoolers play a math game using a Tic-Tac-Toe Board. This simple idea can be used with virtually any grade level. A team of learners are the "O's," and the other is the team of "X's." Each time a team gets a problem correct,...

Which picture should go first? Which one is next? Which picture finishes the story? Have your class cut out, sequence and write a narrative based on a set of unsequenced pictures. After binding, writers share their creations and their...

Young mathematicians review fact families and create a Math Fact Family Tree. This clever lesson plan includes some excellent printouts that support the activity.

Third graders multiply whole numbers by one and two digit numbers using base ten blocks and Egg O multiplication game. students pass out egg cartons, counters, and a record sheet to each group.

Learners practice counting using a website "Let's Count". They point to each object and count and pull down a tab to check their answers.

Learners consolidate and extend understanding of simple properties of the four arithmetic operations. They use these properties as an aid to easy calculation. They discover and use some more complex properties of addition, subtraction,...

Fifth graders investigate the symmetry of pattern block shapes. Students, working in groups determine whether each shape has line symmetry, rotational symmetry or both kinds of symmetry. Students determine how many lines of symmetry the...

Learners explore shipping through song lyrics. They delve into the world of water transportation as they analyze the lyrics from the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Plenty of web resource links and background information are...

Students use data to make a tally chart and a line plot. They find the maximum, minimum, range, median, and mode of the data. Following the video portion of the activity, students will visit a Web site to test their data collection...

Does your class need a little extra practice subtracting two-digit subtrahends from three-digit minuends? Here are 30 practice problems just waiting for answers; some problems require regrouping and some do not. 

Students examine the concepts of organization and classification. In this library skills activity, students practice ordering and sorting skills by playing an interactive Internet game. Students then practice their classification skills...

For this fraction lesson, students manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great lesson for getting students...

Learners use estimation to determine the answers to word problems by rounding whole numbers. For this estimation lesson plan, pupils compare and contrast solutions using the best answer.

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.

This lesson requires a worksheet that is not connected. It is integral to the lesson.

Young scholars consider prices while planning a trip to Colonial Virginia. In this budgeting activity, students construct an itinerary of events for a vacation. Young scholars are responsible for working within the approved budget.

Young scholars collect samples of pond water, dried grass, and soil in a jar. They predict the order of ecological succession in their pond water cultures. They compare their expected results with their observed results.

Students investigate the concepts of expressions and equations while defining the similarities and differences. They explore the operations by using a number line and record answers while working with the teacher. Students play the game...
