Here is a cross-curricular ecology and technology lesson; your learners create spreadsheets depicting the location and number of groundhog dens in a local park. They research groundhogs and analyze data about where the groundhog...

Students learn how to identify cell addresses, format cell contents, add pop-up comments to a cell, and also apply conditional formatting. They use clues and words to make a geometry crossword puzzle pertaining to geometrical shapes.

Students create non-linear, user-directed presentations in a presentation software application. They create, using Powerpoints, tutorial movies using the topic of solving a math story problem.

Students become familiar with how to get information from the Internet. For this math and technology lesson plan, students measure objects on a measurement sheet found on a web site. They practice using a standard unit of measurement...

Invite your pupils to discover their strengths with a multiple intelligences assessment. They read through several pages of activities and check off the items that apply. Learners then tally up their scores to determine which of the...

Explore the concept of measuring and recording circumference. In this physical science and measurement activity, young learners blow up balloons, measure the circumference, and record the data on an interactive graphing website.

Multiplying with multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 provides an opportunity to discuss patterns that arise with zeros. The class uses these patterns to solve problems. Then they rotate through three work stations, including a computer-based...

Budding mathematicians investigate how to write number sentences using the Roll-the-Dice tool in "Kid Pix". They correlate the dots on the dice to numbers and then learn to use the addition and equal symbols to write number sentences....

Young scholars determine an appropriate numerical representation of a problem situation, including roots and powers. They determine an appropriate number of digits to represent an outcome. Pupils are asked to determine how many years...

Students explore multiplication concepts.  In this multiplication lesson plan, students define "array" and draw several arrays to represent multiplication number sentences.  Students construct arrays on the computer using...

Students define the characteristics of a hero by creating their own fictional superhero.  In this film making lesson plan, students write the background of a superhero character and storyboard scenes from a movie they would like to...

First graders create symmetrical designs using a computer program.  For this lines of symmetry lesson, 1st graders review their symmetrical designs and discuss other ways symmetrical designs can be made.  Students work in pairs...

Sixth graders calculate perimeter of rectangles with different dimensions.  In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders define length, width and perimeter.  Students complete a perimeter activity using a web tool to change the...

Students explore "area."  In this tangram geometry and measurement lesson, students arrange tangram pieces to find the area of characters presented in a story they listen to on a website.  Website information and related...

Fifth graders plot the migration of birds using Google Earth. In this instructional activity on bird migration, 5th graders work in groups to plot the migration of a group of birds using Google Earth. Students present and discuss their...

Fifth graders determine how to convert fractions, decimals, and percents. In this conversion lesson, 5th graders use an on-line applet to practice making these conversions. They review how to make the conversions in a whole class lesson...

Students examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. In this geometry and probability lesson, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of landing on a...

All teachers are teachers of reading! The 13-part interactive series ends with a lesson that teaches learners (and their instructors) how to approach reading their textbooks. After learning about several strategies, users test their...

Young scholars create spreadsheets which will display and figure mean, median, and mode of a set of numbers.

Ninth graders explain differences between bitmapped images and vector images. They calculate pixels and transpose the raw file size to bits, bytes, and kilobytes. They compare formats for displaying images on a Web page.

Fifth graders use place value clues to find a given number. In this place value lesson plan, 5th graders work with the MathKeys program using place value clues and base-ten blocks to build a number and determine its value.

Students utilize a digital camera to record interesting objects in their environment.  In this ecology lesson, students participate in a mini-field trip around their campus as they take 2-3 pictures of the school environment....
