Sketch out weekly plans for reading, writing, math, and small group instruction, noting standards that will be addressed, materials to be used, and the lesson focus, on a one-page form. A great way to see the week at a glance. Eight...

Explore four web-based interactive sites to develop a baseline understanding of statistics. Learners play a series of penny basketball games and collect data regarding their shooting statistics. Groups decide who is the "top" penny...

Students explore Geometry with Twizzlers Candy, pipe cleaners, paper, pencils, and protractors. They manipulate these items to create different angles introduced by the teacher.

Pupils work in pairs to sort several beans into different piles according to a rule they make up. They use manipulatives to solve complex mathematical problems.

Fifth graders manipulate and draw shapes to demonstrate the concept of flips, slides, and turns using letters and arrows on graph paper.

Fifth graders evaluate data from a circle graph that compares time spent on various activities. They use the computer to manipulate their own data as they compare, examine, create and evaluate data using circle graphs.

Students develop algebraic equations to solve problems involving farm animals. They watch a video, use manipulatives to determine the number of birds and pigs on the farm, and create original problems for their classmates to solve.

Students study fractions with the use of manipulatives. They use Cuisenaire Rods to visualize problems and solve them.

Students explore the concept of misleading statistics. In this misleading statistics lesson, students play a game of tag and graph the number of times each student gets tagged. Students use the graph to determine the fastest runner in...

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

Students investigate ratios of various objects.  For this ratios of various objects lesson, students draw pictures on graph paper and then dilate or shrink the image.  Students determine the ratio of their pictures. ...

Students notice a number pattern in the book The Rabbit Problem by Emily Gravett. In this number pattern lesson, students represent and describe numbers appropriate to their grade level.

Pupils recall basic multiplication facts by writing answers on a wheel form, competing against other teams to finish the wheels. They review multiplication facts on a Spinning Wheels Web Lesson.

There is a lot to learn about fractions, and this is a fun way to do it! Individuals participate in a Cyberchase activity to describe a fraction in terms of sharing parts of a whole. They determine the meaning of the parts of a fraction,...

Students explore statistics by conducting a scientific study. In this data analysis lesson, students conduct a class poll about popular foods of their classmates. Students complete a worksheet and discuss how bias opinions affect the...

Students explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

Students use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Students convert between fractions, decimals, and percents using money. In this conversions lesson plan, students play with a mock store in class.

Students complete computer activities about estimating if items are more or less than a given amount. In this estimation lesson plan, students also estimate measurements around the classroom.

Learners classify items and numbers by using a Venn diagram. In this Venn diagram lesson plan, students use the computer to do this and classify pictures and numbers.

Students problem solve to find the probability of each tree in a small forest to catch fire. In this probability lesson plan, students use the computer to complete this application.

Pupils rotate through work stations where they compute problems of theoretical and experimental probability. In this probability lesson plan, students use simulations of a lottery system.

Students use Skittles as manipulatives to practice computing decimals from fractions, computing decimals into percentages, and creating bar graphs from gathered data.
