When you are exploring pollution or human impact on the environment with your class, this PowerPoint will serve as a support. The first half focuses on the effects of the logging industry, creating roadways, and wildfires. The second...

Break up multiplication into more easily conceptualized math operations. Scholars first examine an array of apples and write a multiplication sentence to represent it. Then, they determine which of four sets of addends is equivalent to a...

How many pencils did each student get? Learners read this and two more division scenarios accompanied by helpful visuals. The problems involve very direct division operations, and all answers are whole numbers. If you project this as an...

There is only one introductory algebra word problem here and an explanation is detailed below. Because of this format, consider projecting it as an all-class warm up. Learners examine a scenario where Sam can fill a box in three minutes,...

These multiplication problems give scholars a chance to display their knowledge of math properties. They use the zero property to solve one problem, write a related multiplication fact for a division problem, and complete a final...

Introduce your young math scholars to functions. Because the answer is explained at the bottom of the page, consider projecting this and covering it up until you hear the class responses. They observe a rule (in this case to add 15) and...

Project these rounding problems as an all-class warm up, since they are written in large text and lend nicely to this purpose. Scholars round three numbers, two double-digit and one triple-digit, to both the hundreds and tens place. Note...

There are some missing parts in these addition and subtraction problems. Scholars start by completing two number sentences, each involving all three-digit numbers. Then, they examine another number to determine the value of the tens...

Each of these sets of squares represents a fraction: Can your scholars match them correctly to the numeric fraction list? This may be a good way to show learners numerators and denominators, as they will see them in the fractions and...

Where would 3/4 be on the number line? Project this fraction problem as an all-class warm up, asking scholars to complete it on their own before revealing the detailed explanation below. Using a number line segmented into quarters, they...

A number line serves as the medium to display visual fractions as scholars examine two points along its segmented length. The line is split into quarters and scholars determine which fraction is represented by two letters labeled at...

Good morning, mathematicians! Use this set of morning math problems to jump-start your scholars' thinking and review past concepts. There are 14 individual warm-ups here including skills such as number sequencing, greater than/less than,...

The animal kingdom is full of interesting organisms that have unique ways of surviving. Children read about different insects that have special tools for building homes and protecting themselves. When finished, learners identify the main...

Wrap up a documentary creation project with the final lesson in this series. Class members reflect on their learning and compose responses to four questions relating to what they learned, whey they would do differently, and how the group...

A simple worksheet can offer loads of possibilities. This resource includes six blank thought clouds for pupils to brainstorm ideas for their next project or assignment.

What do yo-yos and pennies have to do with linear equations? Learn about writing and solving linear equations while considering the Yo-Yo Problem and Penny Pattern Exploration from the High School Math Project. Learners utilize algebra...

This six-week unit encompasses all subjects with a focus study on world history and the development of ancient civilizations. As gifted and talented students dive into the interesting yet challenging topic of Egypt, they...

Students become familiar with the web-based projects underway during the school year. They determine what their own interests are in respect to participating in the web-based projects.

Students download data reported from the Global Sun Temperature Project website. They graph and analyze the data looking for trends and patterns. They prepare a class report with their observations and post it to the website.

Young scholars identify Internet and library resources which can be used for researching a project. They utilize available library resources and Internet resources to conduct research for it.

Students record the daily outdoor temperature as well as the number of minutes of sunlight per day over a determined period. They calculate the average temperature and minutes of sunlight per day and post their data on the project website.
