Students demonstrate their knowledge of place value through auditory, visual, and kinesthetic channels. In this place value lesson, kinesthetic learners work with a partner using both sets of hands to represent 2 digit numbers. Visual...

With this daily counting activity, your kindergartners will master counting in sequence automatically from 0 to 100, and will count in multiples of ten to 100. With the whole class, count to 100. With each number, learners will whisper...

Third and fourth graders engage in a game using visual symbols, auditory responses and tactile stimuli to further their understanding of subtraction. A worksheet imbedded in this plan explains how to teach the game.

Students create auditory musical patterns. In this patterns lesson, students create a pattern using their hands, feet, dancing, and snapping their fingers.  Students use a recorder to recreate a pattern.

Students explore patterns.  In this patterns geometry lesson, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints.  Students create and share an original pattern.

Students discover which learning style works best for them in a math setting. In this math comprehension lesson, students create different combinations of numbers that equal the sum of 11. Students determine if they are better visual,...

Class members will eat up an enticing interactive that lets users change the location of cuts made into a pizza to adjust the number of created slices. They create a counterexample for a conjecture on the number of slices.

Middle schoolers explore and design ways to collect data through simulations and random samples. They perform two experiments to determine the answers to various probability problems, and present the data/graphs in the form of a...

Students practice their multiplication facts by reinforcement and repetition. Students write facts in their math journals, and use labeled soccer ball and deck of cards to practice multiplying by "number of the day." Play continues until...

Students solve volume problems. In this geometry lesson plan, the class watches a video about clean water (link provided) and individuals compare the volume of different prisms, including an actual drinking glass. Extension activities...

Here is really nice set of resources on scientific notation. Eighth and ninth graders explore the concept of multiplying and dividing in scientific notation. In this multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation...

Explore scientific notation in this mathematics lesson. Young mathematicians explore multiple representations of large number in scientific notation through the use of models, visual representation and expanded form. The lesson provided...

Young mathematicians are introduced to fractions in a unit that helps them to understand parts of a whole.

Pupils multiply positive and negative integers. They represent word expressions with both positive and negative integers and then multiply them. They also create multiplication problems to solve as a class. They create a rhyme, a story,...

Students determine that a fraction is a part of a whole or part of a group. They write and read fractions and solve various fraction problems. They create their own fraction problem using colored candies for their classmate to solve.

Use circle time to work on counting. Kindergarteners practice the months of the year, say the full date, chart the day's temperature, count to 100, and sing the alphabet song. This kind of daily routine cultivates deep roots for...

There is no doubt that learners remember what they have learned when they have a visual representation. Using an egg carton and candy bars, they explore the concept of fractional amounts. By having students cut the egg carton into parts...

Students practice assessing how to apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles. They recount the contributions of Pythagoras and apply the theories of the Pythagorean theorem in a group project to calculate the...

Fifth graders create a musical composition, a drawing, or a 3D structure to show how math connects to other subjects. In this math and other subjects lesson plan, 5th graders present their presentations to the class and explain the...

In this creative science activity from Scientific American, young scholars learn more about hearing with two ears and make a hands-on exploration of how sound is located. Excellent web link resources are also provided.

Students identify and name different geometrical shapes. In this math lesson, students distinguish odd from even numbers. They describe the properties of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

First graders listen to the book, Piggies, and act out the events of the story with premade puffball pigs.

Third graders name different kinds of shapes and then discuss what they know about them an what they would like to learn using a K-W-L chart whole group. They listen to the book, THE GREEDY TRIANGLE and then retell it to the class. They...
