Students use a Factor Board game to identify the properties of prime, composite, abundant, deficient and perfect numbers. The game is comprised of the numbers from 1 to 30 placed in a 5 by 6 grid. Pupils figure out they can score more...

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

Seventh graders practice identifying coordinates by examining a city map.  In this graphing instructional activity, 7th graders create coordinate directions on an index card and practice locating these locations on a grid....

A benthic habitat hosts a vast collection of organisms and its structure influences the biodiversity. Middle-school marine biology explorers will discuss how corals impact structure, and therefore diversity, on the ocean floor. They draw...

Fifth graders, in groups, map the three layers of different colored jello layers in molds and note the placement of fruit in them. On the grid paper they draw each grape, raisin, or other object and carefully remove each layer. After...

Students use compasses and grids to map the locations of artifacts found in a simulated dig site. In groups, they role-play as future archeologists excavating a school site. Groups begin at their assigned datum and site the artifacts...
