It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

How can you complete a simulation when it is not practical to determine the probability of an event? Class members learn that in some situations, it is not feasible to find the probability of an event, but they can estimate it by running...

Build an interest and appreciation for architecture in your young learners with this fun 10-lesson art unit. Engaging children in using their five senses, the class first observes the environment around them, paying...

Reading and writing take on a whole different meaning in math class. Young mathematicians learn to read verbal phrases by focusing on operation words. They write equivalent algebraic expressions for both mathematical and contextual...

In this fraction worksheet, students model fractions by coloring or shading given amounts. All fractions are sixths, answers available on page 2.

In this fraction worksheet, 3rd graders color in fraction strips to model each of 9 fractions that have 5 as a denominator. They color or shade fraction strips; coloring similar fractions in different ways.

Discover the effectiveness of wind, water, and steam as energy sources. The hands-on activity has young scientists create a turbine from common materials. After constructing the turbines, they use wind, water, and steam to turn them and...

In this rates worksheet, students solve five story (word) problems related to rate and time. In two of the problems students are directed to create a graph of the problem.

In this SIR model worksheet, students analyze a real life problem using the SIR method. They explore given facts and determine the threshold value for an epidemic, the sequence for the recovery period, and the effect on the model from a...

In this introduction to the S-I-R Model, students explore a scenario concerning the spread of an infectious disease. They use the S-I-R model to determine the number of people infected, how many will recover, etc. Students write an...

Students investigate the concept of fractions using the application of a word problem. The concept is taught by giving a word problem that needs to be solved. The activity requires strong reading comprehension and logical thinking skills.

Fifth and sixth graders use food and candy to help them represent division of fractions and develop algorithms to solve fraction problems. They discuss dividing whole numbers by fractions. Pupils use sticks and chocolate bars to...

Students design and construct a model town. In this community lesson, students will collaboratively build a small town from construction paper and toys.

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

What does a graph or equation say about a situation? Lots! The lesson uses the concepts explored in the previous four lessons in the series and applies them to problem solving situations. Learners create an equation from problems posed...
