Students compute the area of triangles in a computer program. In this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

Students determine how to compare and calculate liquid measures. For this liquid measurement lesson, students review the most common liquid measures such as ounces, teaspoons, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.

Students calculate the mean, median, and mode in a set of numbers. In this data analysis lesson, students put a set of numbers in ascending order and perform calculations to find the mean, median, and mode.

Learners discuss algebraic symbols, equalities and unknown quantities, review sample problems and complete associated worksheets.

Students surf the Web gathering information about graphs. The data collected is incorporated into an Excel spreadsheet and graphs of varying nature generated to further enhance student understanding.

Students collect data using M&Ms, fill in charts, and write ratios and fractions for each color M&M.

Fifth graders explore how to collect data and display it on a bar and circle graph.

Students, using small individual bags of M&Ms, engage in activities including; estimating, sorting, graphing, mean, median, mode, fractions, percentage, and averaging.

Students apply understanding of fractions by converting a recipe to feed the class and the whole grade level. They calculate how many cookies the class would eat and multiply each fraction in the recipe accordingly.

Students demonstrate knowledge of the six basic steps to problem solving. They demonstrate ability to apply these six basic steps to problem solving by guiding other students in the solution of a given problem or set of problems.

Students solve various word problems that deal with common denominators, and write the mathematical explanations they used to obtain the solutions.

Students watch "Cyberchase: The Poddleville Case" and analyze patterns. They complete a patterns assignment worksheet and then they make up patterns using numbers, shapes or colors, for their classmates to solve. They use patterns to...

Students use four digits obtained from rolling four dice to create a mathematical expression equal to 24.

Students explore the greenhouse effect. They set up a simplified model of the earth and the greenhouse effect. Students compare temperatures inside a jar to temperatures outside the jar. Pupils collect information and create a line...

The hour is nigh for your class to practice equivalency problems in the form of time-zone conversions. They write equations to describe elapsed time and apply problem solving strategies, including writing a plan, to solve the problems.

Students walk around the neighborhood and identify various polygons and lines in buildings, nature and other objects. They design a building using various geometric patterns, shapes and lines. Students complete a descriptive writing of...

Students define length and area. They identify materials that can be measured with a rule and yardstick. They measure length and area when given an object.

Students explore the concept of ratios. They observe a website of Trident Gum that gives a real life example of ratios. Students practice ratio problems in three forms. They express ratios as a proportion and solve proportions using...

Children use the length, width, and height of an object to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism. They observe how to multiply three numbers at a time, and define volume. Pupils observe as the teacher demonstrates how to determine...

Learn how to summarize by identifying main ideas and supporting details. Readers cross out unimportant information as they read through a text. Is it a random detail? Cross it out! They then draw a concept map, placing the main idea in...

It's time to go back over all that your class has learned about decimals, fractions, and percentages! To do so, individuals solve story problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimals, explain how...

Students explore measurement. They use appropriate units of measurement for different sized objects. Students collect their data and enter it into an Excel data base. They graph their findings and analyze their outcomes.

Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...
