Students make a list and decode words that are related to grocery shopping. In this grocery shopping lesson plan, students discuss what you do at the grocery store.

Students examine the variety of materials an artist uses when drawing and consider the impact of the material choice. In this art analysis lesson plan, students consider the different materials used to make various drawings. Students...

Third graders make a grid map. In this directionality activity, 3rd graders review how to use a grid to locate objects or places on a map. Students draw a grid map of the classroom and locate seating assignments. Students create a grid...

Students practice their drawing skills. In this drawing skills lesson, students complete a self-observation drawing activity and then 3 methods of figure drawing.

Learners learn how to use a letter and number map grid. In this map grid lesson, students look at a landscape map and describe how to locate the airport. They compare the descriptions of different learners to determine how they are the...

Students plot points on a coordinate grid.  In this coordinate plane lesson plan, students use a coordinate grid to locate the perimeter points of pictures, identify quadrants and use the coordinate points to draw the picture on a...

Are you looking for a good 3-D geometry instructional activity that includes hands-on activities for your middle schoolers? Look no further than this one! Pupils use centimeter grid paper embedded in the plan, along with detailed...

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

A geometry game that resembles Battleship is the foundation for hide and seek where "hiders" draw shapes on coordinate planes and "seekers" must guess the shape and its location based on questions and clues. Reproducible, paper-sized...

Here is an excellent cross-curricular lesson plan. Learners relate multiplication to area by making a grid on graph paper, and then creating the same grid in real space outside in the school yard.

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Identifying the location of ordered pairs on coordinate planes is the focus in the math lesson presented here. In it, 4th graders are introduced to coordinate pairs, the x/y axis, and the techniques associated with this type of graphing....

Tenth graders investigate the three D world of building. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate math as it relates to the real world, increasing their perspective on mathematical concepts. They realize there is more to math...

Grab your class and get them graphing polygons on a coordinate plane! They investigate the four quadrants, discover the x and y axis, and correctly plot ordered pairs. To show their comprehension, each child creates a coordinate picture...

Students explore multiplying polynomials. They observe solving polynomials using the standard order of operations, FOIL, and the box method. Throughout the demonstration, students explore strategies of solving word problems such as...

Just about every public building that your high schoolers are familiar with has an access ramp which complies with ADA requirements. As it turns out, designing such a ramp is an excellent activity to incorporate slope, the Pythagorean...

Students create a fire safety rules poster. In this fire safety lesson, students inspect their classroom and discuss the best way to exit in case of a fire. Students then make a poster stating the rules and exit plan.

Learners create a geometric pattern using mandalas, polygons and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze the mathematics involved in making the mandalas, including the shapes and symmetry. Learners create their own mandalas...

This lesson begins with a review of linear functions and segues nicely over its fifteen examples and problems into a deep study of exponential functions. Linear and exponential growth are compared in an investment task. Data tables are...

How do computers store and send images? Here's an activity that explains one way a computer can compress image information. Pupils decode run-length coding to produce a black and white image. Pairs then work together to code and...
