Lesson plan in which students calculate area, build areas to a given amount, and calculate the perimeter with the use of Legos. Step by step instructions and videos are provided. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7.c Use area models to represent...

Young scholars should develop an awareness of and correctly use the classroom tools that are available to assist them with their mathematical learning. This lesson introduces them to math manipulatives and a math journal. Videos of...

SWBAT identify the math all around them and explain their thinking.

SWBAT take the data from class and home and create comparisons of the different ways math is used by adults.

We can apply math to almost every part of the day and make math have a purpose for students.

Given a two-step word problem students will be ask to solve, and create their own math model of the given problem.

Common Core standards encourage the use of models to build understanding in math. This lesson shows sometimes reluctant 2nd graders that models are helpful tools in solving mathematical problems.

Revisit, Revisit, Revisit! Students need repeated exposure to math concepts to really understand how they work.

It is important to assess students periodically to plan for future lessons to meet student needs.

Not everyone solves a problem in the same way. Reinforcing that different strategies can be used effectively is the goal of this lesson.

The big idea of this lesson is that students can solve for near doubles by thinking of the related doubles fact.

The big idea of this lesson is that three (or more) numbers can be grouped together and added. The order of this grouping doesn't matter.

Second graders should be able to recognize what makes one number greater or smaller than another, using place value understanding which is crucial to Common Core mastery. This lesson combines math and science by having students order...

Given several math illustrations, 2nd graders will be able to determine the skip pattern.

Are there patterns in nature that can be described by numbers? That is what we will find out here.

Second graders worked on telling time to the hour and half hour earlier in the year. Now they will apply their understanding of counting by 5s to telling time to the five minute interval.

Do you know where a number would be? Can you use a number line as a tool to solve problems?

Second graders have greater engagement in learning when it is organized around gathering and using meaningful data.

At the end of this lesson, students will have a better understanding of the size of the African elephant. This could be used in an animal science unit, a measuring unit in math, an extension to literature, or for social studies...
