Explore homophones with this presentation. Learners discuss the definition of a homophone, read examples, and come up with their own homophones. This is a topic that your class will love exploring. It is a great way to motivate them to...

To be used with the BRAIDY system, this lesson works to increase oral language and reading comprehension. Special needs pupils review parts of a story, sequence of events, and create a Venn diagram showing the differences between birds...

Word roots can help your class find connections between vocabulary words and develop language skills. This resource asks learners to fill in a synonym and antonym for six words, keeping word roots in mind. There is a word bank for...

Use word roots to help your class develop vocabulary acquisition skills. This particular resource focuses on the word roots SPECT, STA, and VERT. Leaners choose an antonym and a synonym from a word bank for each of 6 given words, keeping...

With a word bank, information on Latin roots, and instant feedback, this resource is a good way to practice vocabulary as well as antonyms and synonyms. For this online activity, learners fill in an antonym and synonym for each of six...

What's your favorite? Use this chart template in your lesson on data collection and graphing. Learners record classmates' favorite vegetable in a survey, and then graph the results. A labelled graph is provided here- print both pages...

What should you always carry on a boat? Learners must solve ten addition and subtraction problems to solve this riddle. The equations include single and double-digit numbers, but no negative numbers are used. They also don't need to...

Here are two addition-related exercises. However, bear in mind, the explanations are featured below each of them. Use this as an all-class warm up, revealing the explanations if and when you see fit. First, examine the four sets of...

Are your scholars beginning to learn how to measure? Use these images to help them use precision and include units in their answers. There are 10 objects; each one is measured against a row of boxes, which represent different units for...

Here are Jack's hours for the week; scholars organize them into a bar graph in this data analysis worksheet. They write the days along the y-axis and hours along the x-axis. Encourage labeling for this. Consider projecting as an...

There are 10 word problems here, all in the same format. Learners are presented with the geometric scenario of a rectangle divided into rows and columns. They must determine, based on the number of each, how many squares are inside the...

Each of these five rectangles has been split into even sections and scholars must figure the area based on the segmented shapes. There are five possible answers for them to match, however none have units attached. Keep in mind this is...

Nothing out of the ordinary here; young mathematicians complete two multiplication and two division problems with whole-number products and quotients. Because the answer is described below, this would work best as an all-class warm up,...

How many animals did Chaplin see at the zoo? Scholars examine three data sets and create a bar graph for each. Encourage them to label the different parts of their graphs, as this is not prompted on the worksheet. Once they finish their...

If a rectangle has three columns and four rows, how many squares does it have inside? Learners draw 10 rectangles based on specified rows and columns, counting the number of resulting squares. Keep in mind you may want to explain that...

Get started with area calculations using a simple shapes activity which could serve to introduce kids to this formula and the concept of units. They partition rectangles into columns and rows to determine the area based on the resulting...

Activate your geometer's minds with area calculations, some of which are tricky. First, they solve five word problems dealing only with rectangular shapes. The next five use irregular shapes with side measurements given. Scholars solve...

These shapes are pointing all over the place. Learners examine rows of crazy shapes to find the one pointing in the same direction as the first in the row. Keep in mind, these aren't the shapes your mathematicians are used to. Because...

Middle schoolers who are about to read the chilling tale, The Lottery, do some writing beforehand. They are asked to write how their lives would change if they won a huge lottery jackpot. Then, they read the short story, and will be...

What does your DNA actually look like? Use simple materials with this experiment to find out! Geneticists of all ages can follow these instructions to extract their own DNA. For learners who are hoping to extend the activity, there are...

If you do not mind wading through unrelated headings (This is not for a physics or STEM course, as it states.) and content (The lesson opens with an article about neurology, not halophiles.), then you will find a valuable resource on...

Introducing measurement can be as simple as reading a book and then using measurement tools to understand how big a foot really is. The class reads and discusses the book How Big is a Foot? by Rolf Myller, stopping often to consider...

Is consistency foolish? Or is “foolish consistency . . . the hobgoblin of little minds”? Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Self Reliance” provides readers with an opportunity to reflect on their own musing about being self-reliant and about...

William Wordsworth's "Daffodils" provides young poets with an opportunity to examine how a poet can use powerful images and poetic devices to create vivid pictures in the minds of readers.
