Students create individual horoscopes that contrast and compare Western and Chinese views of their futures using poster boards and magic markers. In-class discussion is used to evaluate the use of the Zodiac in different cultures.

Students examine how Chinese and Japanese artists used different kinds of birds as representations of ideas that were important in both cultures and create their own birds using the technique of origami.

Students conduct an experiment in which they react sodium bicarbonate with hydrochloric acid to determine the molar ration between the two reactants. Students must write correct formula and a balanced chemical equation and explain how...

Students identify the different kinds and uses of green space that exist in an urban area. They create maps of local parks and research the history of each park. They conduct a survey of residents near the park and interview a park...

High schoolers examine city parks and their importance and affect they have on the health and well being of a community. An oral report with visual aids is prepared as a group to educate the class on the importance of green space in the...

Students create and conduct experiments on a "classroom river habitat." They manipulate the biotic and abiotic factors so that they are able to compare an artificially prepared river model to a naturally occurring lotic ecosystem.

Students explore the changes in the Sequoia forest ecosystem. They evaluate reasons for the changes and discuss opposing views of human activity, logging and fire management practices. Students observe a video, describe the location of...

Students examine employment growth and the economy. After a teacher lead discussion, students explore types of jobs and their correlation with education level. Job qualifications for both high-paying and low-paying careers are researched.

Learners participate in a theme study while teaching primary students basic skills according to Individual Education Plan (IEP) goals in Reading, Math, and Writing. The instructional activity is concerned primarily with the concept of...

Young scholars explore ratios and their relationships to fractions. They explain the process of identifying ratios and describe their comparison. Students write ratios as fractions and by using colons. They convert the ratios to...

For this molecules worksheet, students read about the discovery of new carbon molecule which has been nicknamed buckyball. Students answer 2 short answer questions.

Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Young scholars explore the concept of multi-step equations. In the multi-step equation lesson, students solve equations by the 'party method'. Young scholars make a flip book that shows the steps in solving multi-step equations.

Fifth graders practice using estimation. In this estimation lesson, 5th graders add, subtract, multiple, and divide using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Students decide upon instances when estimation is more appropriate than...

Pupils discuss the contributions of different organisms to our world. In this biology lesson, students research countries with limited food supply. They create an improvement plan for a fictitious country assigned to them.

Eighth graders compare and contrast the three different types of rock. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders classify rock samples according to their correct rock type. They design their own data collection table.

Learners identify the processes involved in the water cycle. In this math lesson, students explain what civil engineers and hydrologist do. They watch a video about flooding in Texas.

This resource provides information about commutative and associative properties of addition.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students practice applying the associative property to multiplication problems.

Children need to understand why the mathematical properties work and how they are applied. In this lesson, we explore modeling and "proving" the associative property.

Students will learn about the commutative and associative properties. This detailed lesson plan includes smartboard slides and downloadable worksheets.

Brush up on your math skills relating to the associative property then try some practice problems to test your understanding.

In this lesson on the associative property of multiplication, students explore grouping factors, learn key vocabulary, and apply their learning to a real-life scenario.

The CoolMath resource can help students understand the associative property of addition.
