Insects and Spiders
Students make either and insect or a spider using materials their teacher provides. They then draw of picture of their organism and defend why it is either a spider or an insect.
Curated OER
Estimation Lesson Plan
Students use four different computer estimation applets with several classroom estimation activities.
Curated OER
A World Of Matter
First graders complete a variety of experiments with solids, liquids and gases. They read books about matter, identify the characteristics of solids, liquids and gases and the sort and classify a variety of matter. Students make...
Curated OER
Houses
Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...
Curated OER
Rice (Gohan) Observations
Second graders investigate rice or gohan as it's called in Japan in a couple of experiments. They tally the results.
Curated OER
A thousand seconds
Students use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.
Curated OER
Garry The Greengrocer
Fourth graders are introduced to the problem by weighing objects on the balance scales. Use weights in both pans. (If you don't have access to scales use 2 containers and a child acting as the balance.) They then listen to the problem...
Curated OER
Small Busines Schemes
Pupils investigate a small business and its profitability. In pairs, as they research a business adventure, students consider the capital outlay, maintenance, office space, prices, insurance, and profit and loss statements. Pupils design...
Curated OER
Using Concept Maps to Design 3D Spheres
Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.
Curated OER
Get the Turtle to the Pond
Students solve problems. In this math lesson, students write solutions using LOGO commands in order to help get the turtle to the pond.
Curated OER
Models and Algorithms to Solve Multiplication Problems
Students choose the correct strategy to solve multiplication and division. In this algorithm lesson, students use at least two strategies that use properties of operations and estimation. Students also recognize the relationship between...
Curated OER
Car Maze competition
Students use graphs to calibrate an RCX car. They must then program the car to traverse a maze using their calibrations
Curated OER
Understanding Cloud Formation
Students view a demonstration that simulates cloud formation. They read a poem about clouds, participate in a class demonstration using warm water and ice and write a paragraph summarizing their observations.
Curated OER
Camping with a Triangular Prism and Its Net
Students differentiate triangular prisms from other prisms using nets. In this geometry lesson, students define the properties of a triangular prism and its symmetry. They build a triangular prism moving lines around.
Curated OER
Pyramids on Parade/Nets
Learners sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.
Curated OER
Density - To Float or Not to Float? That is the Question!
Students investigate how to find the density of fluids and solids using math. Students also learn how to find the density of regular and irregular shaped objects.
Curated OER
Similar Triangles
Ninth graders find the height of every day objects using techniques learned through postulates that allow triangles in a problem to be similar. They calculate the length of a missing side and solve proportions.
Curated OER
Optimization For Breakfast
Students identify he proportion of a cereal box. In this algebra lesson, students define the relationship between patterns, functions and relations. They model their understanding using the cereal box.
Curated OER
Angles and Parallel Lines
In this geometry worksheet, learners identify the interior and exterior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. There are 11 questions with an answer key.
Curated OER
Electrical Resistivity
Students examine how materials oppose the flow of an electrical current. In this resistivity lesson students complete several experiments on the differences between resistance and resistivity.
Curated OER
Creating a "Concrete" Spreadsheet
Students create a spreadsheet that calculate the amount of concrete needed to pour various concrete forms.
Curated OER
The Egg and I
Students collect as much information as possible about their egg and record the information in a systematic way. They prepare a description of the egg your team was given that enable you to distinguish your egg from everyone else's egg.
Curated OER
My Test Book: Geometry Skills 2
In this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding geometry skills. Students may submit their answers to be scored.
Curated OER
The Strongest Shape
Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson plan. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.
