Flipped classrooms and online tools killed the chalkboard! An awesome, hands-on technology workshop asks teachers across all content areas. to examine model lessons, become familiar with research, and explore tech tools they can...

In order to learn about the Pythagorean Theorem, young mathematicians investigate relations and patterns between different sides of a right triangle to look for possible relations among the squared sides. Once they have established the...

Students measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

Students explore seed dispersal by designing their own wind dispersed seed structure. Using one piece of paper and a box fan, they construct a seed dispersal structure, record the distance their seed travels, and answer discussion...

Learners observe how math is important in navigation and engineering. They study how surveyors use math and science to calcute, count, measure, label, and indicate distances on a map. They estimate specific distances.

Students apply the principles of aerodynamics by constructing styrofoam airplanes. By using simple tools and materials, they improve their spatial visualization abilities while increasing motor skills. After small groups of students...

Invite your first graders to compose and decompose two and three-dimensional figures with this fun, hands-on lesson. They investigate and predict the results of putting together and taking apart two-dimensional shapes with rubber bands...

Third graders determine that the larger the denominator the more parts the whole is being divided into. They use fractions to communicate and compare parts of the whole. They discover what the numerator and denominator of a fraction...

Students explore probability.  In this probability lesson plan, students define theoretical probability and experimental probability.  Students predict outcomes of hands on activities using coins and colored tiles, complete a...

Sixth graders study the concept of probability. In this probability activity, 6th graders create spinners that match specific sets of clues. Students use their spinners and worksheets to explore and predict probability.

Students explore eight career and technical areas and make connections with business, family and consumers, and technology. They examine and describe how agriculture and natural resources impact our quality of life. They explore and...

Students design and construct a listening device that will allow them to listen to the sound generated by specific object inside a box.

Sixth graders read the book "Sir Cumference and Knights of the Round Table" to introduce them to the concept of Pi. As a class, they discover where Pi originated and define the terms circumference, radius and diameter. To end the...

Students engage in a lesson which model different types of light refraction. They perform an experiment which uses lasers, jello and wax paper to illustrate how light refracts.

Students explore measurements of rectangles. In this measurement comparison lesson, students discover the length, width, perimeter, and area of two different rectangles. Students record their measurements on a chart to make comparisons.

Fourth graders discover the history of the Utah Mountain Men and utilize their math skills simultaneously. In this cross-curricular history and measurement activity, 4th graders read about the Utah Mountain Men and the challenges they...

First graders engage in a lesson that is about Newton's Laws Of Gravitation while conducting research in order to perform an information search. They sing a song about the Law of Gravitation and play a game of Ring Around The Rosie. Then...

First graders study Newton's Second Law of Motion before demonstrating the concept with a simple machine. They sing a song about speed, force, mass, and acceleration. They use simple machines to demonstrate how objects that have a higher...

Sixth graders observe changes in the moon's appearance over a month and keep records of their observations. They write a plan for recording what they see, and a paragraph reflecting on what they have learned over the course of the month.

Second graders are introduced to circles, triangles and parallelograms. As a class, they create the shape with their bodies and are shown the shapes in their actual size. To end the lesson, they sketch each shape and identify their...

Sixth graders examine the use of probability and compare it to actual real world results. In groups, they flip a coin a specific number of times while their other group members roll a set of dice the same amount of times as the coin. To...

Students review the history of computer technology and how much it has changed over time. In groups, they examine the different looks of technology from the past to today and are introduced to computer terminology. Individually, they...
