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 plan, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of landing on a...

Young scholars compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area lesson, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, young scholars use their computers to determine the...

Students practice multiplying decimals and/or mixed numbers, explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers, and practice predicting the effects of multiplying a number by a decimal or mixed number.

Fourth graders are introduced to arithmetic and geometric sequences. In this mathematics lesson plan, 4th graders produce a variety of sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and the add-on number.

Students practice calculating probability, see how geometry can help solve probability problems and explore platonic solids.

Learners examine the use of bar graphs and histograms. In this data representation instructional activity, students investigate the proper use of bar graphs and histograms to represent data. They learn the proper geometric definitions,...

Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability activity, students use random number generators to determine probabilities of events. Students discuss if certain probable events are fair. Students determine fair ways to...

Second graders round to the closest five, ten, and hundred. They use place-value concepts of grouping based upon powers of ten (thousandths, hundredths, tenths, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands) within the decimal number system.

Students read the story Benny's Pennies and play a matching game where they match the coin to it's value. In this coins lesson plan, students use the SMART Board to view coins.

Second graders are introduced to geometry by a teacher made puppet called Geo George.

Students compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.

Learners observe and draw small objects on the playground or in the classroom with and without a magnifying glass. They explore how lenses can affect the way that an object is observed from afar or remotely sensed. Afterwards, they share...

Students explore how landscapes undergo constant changes with urban development. They plan and build their own "city" by including features that have minimal resource demands to sustain the city itself.

Students, after reading Chapter 1 in the book, "Latinos Today: Facts and Figures," identify and characterize the four main ethnic/racial groups in America. They calculate and design a bar graph showing their populations by their...

Students review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Second graders identify number patterns. For this number lesson, 2nd graders find the rule or pattern in a group of numbers and continue the pattern using the rule. They create their own number pattern by making their own rule. 

Students explore geometric vocabulary through creation of shapes on a geoboard. They present design attributes, transfer of design, and color-coding components mix to create a fun and exciting lesson plan that stretches student thinking.
