I hate doing laundry, even if it is an independent living skill that requires me to count money, follow a sequence, and sort clothing by color. Learners with multiple disabilities discuss what laundry is, why they need to do it, and how...

Young scholars explore patterns and sequences. Given an example of each, they discuss their observations. In groups, students participate in an "Around the World" activity where they rotate to different stations in the classroom to...

Learners practice finding the areas and patterns within a square and explore the concept of quadratic functions. They observe and record the area values in a table, plot a graph of Area versus Distance and complete a variety of student...

Sixth graders review the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages. In this fraction lesson, 6th graders turn fractions into decimals using division and move the decimal for a percentage. They complete a corresponding...

For use with a TI-nspire calculator, this instructional activity focuses on adding and subtracting polynomials. Learners use calculator to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical method horizontal methods. A class discussion...

Students master the process of applying critical thinking to each and every problem/task that confronts them in their daily undertakings. Further, this activity can serve as a base reference and model for other problems that may arise.

Students practice determining the most appropriate units for a given situation while measuring attributes of objects, systems and processes of measurement. They review the concepts of angles, perimeter, area, surface area and volume.

Student use mental math to solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, young scholars solve one and two steps equations. They write expressions using variables to identify the unknown.

Sixth graders identify prime and composite numbers and complete an activity problem. Given a 100 chart, they follow directions to create a prime number chart. In groups, 6th graders play a "Prime Take Away" activity to reinforce prime...

Sixth graders participate in a lesson that covers the reading and interpretation of a circle graph. They review the part of a whole concept for percents and student observe and practice using the circle graph.

Sixth graders study addition and subtraction facts. In equal groups, they play a race game to correctly solve addition and subtraction problems. Using a PowerPoint presentation, the teacher demonstrates how to write word problems and...

Sixth graders explore the concept of inequalities and how to solve them in the realm of integers. The instructor would benefit from using a number line and reviewing integers before using this lesson plan.

Students define equations and expressions. For this algebra lesson, students review important vocabulary words to do with equations and solving problems. They simplify equations and expressions using addition, subtraction, multiplication...

Students review how to solve problems with fractions. In groups, they participate in a card game in which they identify the fraction and its equivalent. They also complete a worksheet related to fractions and have a partner check their...

Learnerss engage in a study of quadratic functions and how the coefficient of x^2 has on the graph of it. They study the quadratic function for review with the help of index cards. The lesson includes a resource link to align the it with...

Look at climate change around the world using graphical representations and a hands-on learning simulation specified to particular cities around the world. Using an interactive website, young scientists follow the provided...

Sixth graders investigate the concept of prime and composite numbers. They use a review of multiplication to help explain factoring. Students are taught the definition of a prime and composite number and then practice independently.

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

If cubes have the smallest surface area, why aren't there more cube-shaped packages? Scholars take a box in the shape of a rectangular prism, cut it up, and make new boxes in the shape of cubes with the same volume. They then brainstorm...

Become familiar with adding integers by practicing examples using negative and positive numbers. Students discuss how they arrived at their answers.

Students discover the Sieve of Erathosthenes. They explore a method to find all the prime numbers in a group of numbers. Using models, students practice divisibility rules while examining the difference between prime and composite numbers.

Students manipulate integers quickly to get their answers. In this algebra lesson, students play an interactive game as they review basic algebraic operations. They add, subtract, multiply and divide quickly to get the correct answer.

Young mathematicians represent recorded information in decimal form. In this decimals lesson, learners play a "classroom friendly" basketball game in which pupils take 10 shots. Number of shots made out of 10 is recorded as a fraction...
