Learners research health-related topics such as good nutrition, exercise, and the human body. They analyze their data and distribute it through the use of the Internet.

Pupils describe how several different objects magnify a provided sentence and decide if they are good magnifiers or not. They then write a sentence describing two properties an object must have in order to be a good magnifier.

Students investigate the basics of pricing and the long-term effects of smart spending. They explore the "Bargain Basement" section of the ING website, read about a boy's ideal meal, complete a worksheet that compares the cost of eating...

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Sixth graders complete a function table and determine a rule for the use of one. They graph different functons from the tables. The analogy of a machine is used as an example for teaching students about functions.

Students research the importance of naval development in history. The unit includes hands-on activities such as the creation of timelines, powerpoints, and use webquests. Students examine famous ships and naval leaders.

Students discuss their morning as they prepared to come to school. The teacher guides the discussion so students understand ways they relied on agriculture to accomplish tasks. Students view pictures of various farm machinery. As the...

Seventh graders conduct an investigation into the design of bridges and their construction. Students design bridges and draw detailed plans. For assessment they construct a model of a bridge that is made entirely of toothpicks. Students...

Students investigate squares. They generate patterns from structured situations and find a rule for the general term and express it using words and symbols. Students generate patterns from a rule and substitute values and formulas.

Second graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes: triangle, square, oblong (non-square rectangle), circle, oval, pentagon, hexagon, diamond, box, cylinder, and sphere. They...

Classify and explore shapes by giving learners opportunities to handle, describe and classify 2D and 3D shapes. Primary learners will sort objects such as triangles, squares, oblongs, circles, ovals, pentagons, hexagons, diamonds, boxes,...

Second graders investigate angles through this series of lessons. They determine how angles turn in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions. They examine the characteristics of quarter half turns and how they can begin from any...

Tenth graders investigate the geometric concept of quadrilaterals. They are given a set of shapes and asked to sort the quadrilaterals from the others. Then working in pairs they discuss the characteristics and write down the description...

Students will make many discoveries about how and why objects move. They will explore and manipulate the motion of objects and the forces required to control that motion (pushing, pulling, throwing, dropping, rolling, and so on). This...

Students investigate water usage at school and at home. They use graphs and tables to evaluate water usage. Students describe possible water conservation measures. They use graphs and tables to relate data as part of a written report.

Pupils define the boundaries of their community by comparing the community's official boundaries with other historical, political, physical, and perceived boundaries of the area and create a community map.

Third graders play a game on the computer called "Last Array" where they practice their multiplication skills. In this multiplication lesson plan, 3rd graders try to be the last person to place an array on the computer screen.

Third graders arrange four numbers in order to make the highest number possible. In this place value lesson plan, 3rd graders practice working with four digit numbers on the computer and with base ten blocks.

Fifth graders recognize shape and number patterns. In groups, 5th graders use strategies to find patterns. They extend the patterns and give explanations as to how they found the pattern. Students use the computer and the hundreds...

Fifth graders use technology as assistance to collecting random data. Through the random data they will be able to explain the significance of getting a head or tail depending on what was previously landed on. They will then analyze the...

Students study patterns. They construct growing patterns using pattern blocks and isosceles right triangles. They verbally describe the patterns and state the rule that describes the relationship involving the number of pattern blocks...

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.
