Students practice fraction skills online at the "Want Some Pizza" website. They complete activities via the internet and on square grid paper. They pull down tabs to check their answers.

Fifth graders explore the multiplication of fractions. Using paper folds, 5th graders observe multiplying by a fraction. They extrapolate multiplication problems from studying a written graphic.

Students demonstrate how the results of a poll or other scientific study can be biased by selecting special types of people to respond or by asking only certain questions.

Students calculate the area of figures using the formula: length x width = area. They solve area problems using paper squares, geoboards, and real-world problems.

Students use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

Fifth graders design a fraction word problem PowerPoint presentation. In small groups they complete a storyboard graphic organizer for their word problem, evaluate another group's word problem, and create a PowerPoint presentation of...

Students gain a concrete introduction to the concept of ratios. They demonstrate the ability to create ratios using peanut butter and jelly. They, in groups, construct 6 different sandwiches using different amounts of each food.

Learners use a pie (circle) to study fractions. They create their own fraction problems and demonstrate to their classmates how to solve the problems. They discuss ways they use fractions in their daily lives.

Learners investigate forms of energy as well as light and sound. In this science lesson, students participate in hands-on activities that require them to evaluate how sound affects astronauts in flight. A video of this lesson being...

Pupils explore the idea that primitive virtual 3D objects can be reshaped to infinitely original combinations using additive and subtractive methods. They create 3-D objects with a computer which necessitates a cooperation of right-brain...

Students understand, use, and compute basic probability.

Fifth graders, using graphic and word processing software, create geometric patterns by performing elementary transformations.

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students calculate how many quarters are in a $1,000 bag (after learning the dollar value of filled coin bags). They explain their problem-solving strategy using pictures, numbers, equations, and/or words.

Learners research the internet and use the information they find to plot straight line graphs. They use graphs to make comparisons of the various packages offered. Students interpret graphs and solve problems based on varying parameters.

Students identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Students identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...

Students figure out how to arrange seating in a concert hall given specific requirements. They better explain how dividing can allow us to arrive at mathematical solutions quickly and logically.

Fifth graders listen to "Grandfather Tang's Story" and use tangram pieces to create animals described by the main character.

Young scholars explore the ways in which satellite images provide details of the Earth's surface and how they are capable of taking digital images of the Earth from space they vary in resolution and breadth. They view how cameras and...

Students are introduced to stem-and-leaf plots and calculating the mean, median, and mode from the plots.

Students create a bar graph that communicates an amount without the need to know the exact data, determine what scale to use to best represent the data and use their bar graph to persuade others.
