Interlocking Cubes Teacher Resources

Fifth graders use interlocking cubes to build towers to represent factors of numbers and place the towers in the appropriate places on a Tower chart in order to look for patterns. They work in partner groups, and finish by writing...

Students practice collecting and graphing data using interlocking cubes. In this graphing lesson, partners count cubes and graph them. They also use a meter stick to measure arm span and height then compare the results with the class as...

First graders demonstrate various ways to represent and verify a whole or set separated in two, three, or four equal parts. Using interlocking cubes, Students model a part of a whole or a part of a set. They use appropriate tools and...

Learners recognize, analyze, and use square color tiles and interlocking cubes to discover patterns in perimeter, area, and volume. They will then chart and graph their results.

Students create a set of cards that represent factors of four and use these cards to play a game in which they practice separating numbers into fourths. They first practice separating numbers into fourths with a projected computer...

This great activity incorporates counting, phoneme segmenting, and class photos. In pairs, learners take turns saying, counting, and checking the number of phoneme segments found in their classmates' names. They count the phonemes and...

What makes a complete sentence? Words, of course! As your budding readers understand this relationship, guide them through this nursery rhyme activity. Scholars examine pictures of 10 familiar rhymes, mentally counting the words in the...

Looking for a good lesson on measurement? This one could be for ytou! Learners select and use appropriate nonstandard units to measure and compare lengths and weights of real-life objects. They use problem-solving skills to design a...

Class members drill and practice counting skills from 1 to 20. They count along with a puppet and when the puppet makes a mistake, they correct it. In pairs, they connect cubes to make a train and count the number used. On the last of...

Young mathematicians collect data and graph it. They work collaboratively to collect data regarding the span of arm length versus height and graph the data they collect.

Students consturct cube trains and use them to measure the length of selected objects in their classroom. They first "guess" with their eyes and then hold up a cube to check their guess.

Students are asked what activities or things that they do each day. They are then asked do you do that in the morning, afternoon, or night? Students are then asked which of those things do you do first, second, third, and etc.

Students observe two rocket science experiments, and create a graph to demonstrate the results. They draw a picture and write an explanation of the results of the experiments.

First graders listen as the teacher reads a story involving cross-continent traveling. Students collect a random sample by tossing an inflatable globe and recording whether they touch land or water each time they catch the globe in order...

Students estimate the length of given objects. In this measurement lesson, students explore the use of standardized measurement. They also approximate the measurement of given items. Students read stories about measurement and experiment...

In this exploring projective geometry worksheet, students use computer software for instruction, then answer 9 questions about 3D drawings.

Young scholars create their own paper rockets. They identify different patterns and practice making their own. They also discover the concept of sequences.

First graders use place value to practice counting, adding and subtracting using a phenomenological approach.

Third graders discover architecture and functionality by constructing a bridge.  In this bridge engineering instructional activity, 3rd graders utilize cardboard, straws, towel tubes and plastic bottles to create a model bridge similar...

Learners create their own number patterns to reinforce their understanding of the concept of patterns. They also search for the unexpected guests in each other's patterns.

First graders practice place value by completing problems that allow them to group 10 items together to create groups of 10 and see what is left over. In this place value lesson plan, 1st graders use cups to put 10 items in them, and...

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

Students measure various objects using non-standard units. The goal is for them to practice measuring in order to apply the physical act to various objects found in the classroom. The lesson is ideal for the kinesthetic learners and...

Students compare and describe objects of differing lengths that are presented in a Mathkeys software compare mat. Working in pairs, one student is the chooser who sets up the objects while the other student is the sizer who puts the...
