Pupils complete a booklet that describes their experiences in school. They read books about going to school and complete pages about themselves, their teachers and the types of activities they most enjoy.

First graders listen to the book, So Many Cats, and discuss the number of cats in the story. They demonstrate simple addition problems using cat counters and a work mat in the shape of a house.

Students use the story, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" to explore the concept of color, name writing, and text sequencing. A personal page is created for the class Big Bear Book.

This is a nice idea to introduce elementary learners to the importance of heart fitness. They will see first hand by doing some dancing how the heart beats differently and discuss which way is better to get the heart in shape. This is an...

Primary learners will listen to a story about leprechauns and discuss what they look like and how they act. Then they will construct leprechaun traps to try and catch one. They must explain how their trap works using complete sentences....

Scholars, in groups, gather information relating to community health care. Using video and digital cameras, they interview members of a health center staff. They then compile digital images, select music, and narrate a story about their...

Discover the difference between standard and non-standard units of measure with your class. They differentiate between rectangles and squares, read a book, measure a peer's height. They then discuss  measurement methods, make...

To start, read the article titled "Australian Rules Football," and then respond to 12 multiple choice questions about the selection and complete a word search. Because of its online format, users may submit their answers...

Students review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Students use six different shapes that are cut out of construction paper. They put shapes back together which are numbered from 1-6, and place them in different sections on the gym floor. On the signal, they select a piece of a shape to...

Students recognize different shapes and colors. When the music stops students should move to and stand on a shape. Ask students "who is standing by a square, circle," etc., and ask what color they are standing on.

Third graders experiment with, identify, and follow teacher-directed instruction toward understanding two-dimensional geometric shapes found within the environment. Groups of students utilize geoboards to help them explain geometric shapes.

Students get a bounce ball and find a Polyspot. On the teacher's signal, students underhand throw to a target. They keep their own score: one point each time they hit a target.

Ninth graders experiment with paper folding to create geometrical shapes. Students analyze the Copymaster of the problem. After the students have worked on their own for a while, stop them and discuss.

Second graders discuss what a line of symmetry is, then demonstrate how to fold shape cutouts to generate lines of symmetry. They demonstrate slides, flips, and turns with objects, and write explanations of changes they observe in pictures.

Students design a collage of pictures for a yearbook that make a shape. They determine the area of the shape and the price of putting the collage in the yearbook.

Fourth graders create artwork using the pure elements of line, shape, and color as the subject matter. The artwork is then cut or torn into organic shapes which are then glued onto a background paper, leaving areas of paper showing in...

Pupils create a disaster preparation book. In this disaster preparation lesson, students research disasters and use the kidspiration program to create a shape to represent each disaster. They create a page for each disaster.

Students study artists and their styles. They create a Kidspiration web as they discuss art work looking at shapes, texture and color. They list other things that they would like to explore artists.

Pupils perform activities that involve color and shape discrimination. They play games to practice memory skills. Students recognize body parts to participate in activities.

Learners use a microscope and observation skills to compare and contrast several physical properties and develop a classification system.

Second graders use geoboards to model polygons and to practice finding lines of symmetry.

Students investigate the forces of compression, tension and torque on common birthday balloons.

Investigate the meaning of a sample proportion using this hands-on activity. Scholars collect data and realize that the larger the sample size the more closely the data resembles a normal distribution. They compare the sample proportion...
