Young mathematicians explore number values by utilizing food as a visual aide. They discuss the differences between halves, fourths, and eighths and how they are visually represented by a pizza. Then create their own pizza in class and...

Exploring mathematics through art is a fun and concrete way to help learners grasp a concept. They will construct a paper penguin using fractions cut from circles. They'll need to determine 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 of each circle. Once the...

Young mathematicians record and analyze data. They will take attendance for their class and compare to other days. Then discuss ways to count who is present. They may also show the amount of learners present using fractions.

Fourth graders compare and order fractions in a fraction game activity. In this fraction game lesson, 4th graders play a game that requires them to add fractions with like denominators and compare fractions. Students create posters where...

Elementary learners explore coin mint dates. First, they listen to the book Alexander Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst. They then sort a collection of coins according to their mint date and put them in order from oldest...

Students explore nature artists and participate in a nature walk. For this art/nature lesson, students discuss things artists use from nature then talk a walk to find some of the same things. Students look for different shapes...

Students investigate relationships among fractions and use cut out pizzas and fraction circles to compare equivalent fractions. They exchange fractional parts of construction paper pizza circles to use as many different fractional parts...

Students create a set of fraction circles using a paper folding technique. They fold 10 inch circles of paper into the indicated fractions, identify the fractions, and use them to show equivalency.

Young scholars identify the two-dimensional geometric shapes Lowrey utilized in the painting Untitled. Students compare the two-dimensional shapes in terms of equivalent fractions, congruency, symmetry and asymmetry. Young scholars...

Fourth graders watch a video and find the circumference of a pumpkin. For this circumference lesson, 4th graders watch a video to help them find the circumference of their pumpkins. Students define the word circumference on their data...

Sixth graders conduct a survey and collect data to construct a bar graph that will then be changed into a circle graph. With the bar graph, 6th graders compare estimated fractions and percentages and estimate percentages. With the circle...

Students listen to the book "Zigzag" by Robert D. San Souci, and examine the concepts of friendship, respect, and determination. They answer story comprehension questions, then create a fabric doll using the shapes from the book.

Learners collect natural objects and draw these objects with and without shading.

Learners collect and analyze data, then draw conclusions from the data and apply basic concepts of probability.

Students begin their study of insect life cycles by listening to a read aloud of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They learn the vocabulary of metamorphosis including egg, larva, pupa, chrysalis, and adult. They observe actual...

Students create a flip book to depict animal and plant life cycles. In this life cycle lesson, students discuss life cycles. Students receive a plant or animal and pictures of its life cycle. Students color the pictures and order...
