Fourth graders make models of three-dimensional figures and then use these play dough figures to observe and count the vertices, edges, and faces of the figure.

Students solve a story problem about how many trees can be planted in a given area. Using a map, they gather information about the size of the area and the dimensions of an acre. They use a specific equation to determine the area of...

Fourth graders are asked to name different shapes.Four to five students to share their answers with the class. The teacher leads the discussion in geometry about the properties associated with shapes.

Students compute the slope of a line that passes through two points and explain how the slope formula is derived. They determine properties associated with positive, negative, undefined, and no slope.

Students calculate the costs for lodging and meals for a virtual field trip. They calculate the number of nights lodging needed for road and city travel and the number of meals needed, the costs for each, and input the data using...

Students use concrete models (algebra blocks) to demonstrate their processes for solving quadratic equations. They apply the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to simplify algebraic expressions and to solve quadratic...

Middle schoolers in grade 7 and 8 work on outcomes related to spatial sense and geometric concepts, properties, and relationships. The lesson plan integrates technology and helps students be exposed to multimedia.

Ninth graders add and subtract polynomials.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders work practice problems as they view a PowerPoint presentation of the lesson plan.  Both the horizontal and vertical methods of addition and...

Fourth graders examine the Triangle Inequality Theorem by investigating possible lengths of the sides of a triangle.

Young scholars investigate the properties and idea of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the different parts of a right triangle and relate it to the Pythagorean Theorem. They do a robotic experiment...

Students calculate the area and perimeter of a basketball court. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence of geometric objects. They test conjectures and use it to solve problems.

Students determine the differences between goods and services, and saving and spending. In this economics lesson, students listen to a rhyming story about a bunny with money. They play a matching game with the associated cards and work...

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

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.

Fifth graders practice using money in everyday situations. They use their addition and subtraction skills as they work in cooperative groups to solve problems involving decimals.

Learners complete subtraction problems where they use goldfish crackers as their manipulatives in the problem. In this subtraction lesson plan, students use words and pictures to also show their problems.

Fifth graders explore fact families. They solve simple math problems. Students determine which mathematical property is used to solve the given problem. They are given five minutes to complete as many mathematical facts as possible.

Learners practice theories dealing with equals sign used as a balance, inequality symbols and practice utilizing a box or some other geometric shape to represent an unknown number. They assess numeracy problems embedded in language-rick...

Third graders investigate two mathematic scenarios and determine which is correct. They compare adding columns and places (such as the tens place, hundreds place, and so on) and familiarize themselves with how to add larger numbers.

Students read about and discuss how chemical engineers use different states of matter to create substances. In this chemical engineering lesson plan, students also give examples of the 3 kinds of matter.

Students explore the concept of adding and subtracting integers. In this integer lesson, students use strips of paper (various sizes) to add and subtract integers. Students visualize the process of adding and subtracting integers.

Students explore the concept of chemical formulas.  In this chemical formula lesson, students watch a video about balancing chemical equations.  Students conduct an experiment using silver nitrate and sodium phosphate. ...
