Your young architects use the Internet to research tall structures or sky scrapers to help in the design of their scale drawings. This is lesson one of three in which learners design, build, and test model skyscrapers for seismic safety....

Students identify the end behavior of polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph different polynomials functions and find a correlation between exponents and function behavior. They identify the effect the leading...

Introduce young learners to the important life skill of responsibly managing money and recording how much they spend and save. 

Find relationships between the structure of a function and its graph. An engaging lesson explores seven parent functions and their graphs. Learners match functions to their graphs and describe transformations.

Here learners get to flex some serious algebraic muscles through an investigation of logistic growth. The properties of the constant terms in the logistic growth formula are unraveled in a short but content-dense...

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Fourth graders complete multi-curricular activities to learn about trucks and transportation. In this transportation instructional activity, 4th graders answer questions about specifics for the trucking industry including safety...

Second graders understand the appropriate sizes for food portions. In this food groups lesson, 2nd graders create and measure a meal using correct portion sizes and correct measurements.

Students read the book "Alexander, Who Used To Be Rich Last Sunday," along with their teacher and take away coins as they follow along with the story. In this money and counting lesson, students get meaningful practice in the art of...

Students investigate the Math behind Musical instruments in this cross-curricular Math lesson on the Native American Flute and waveforms. The lesson can be accomplished in 6 days and includes an extensive materials list for successful...

Learners participate in a lesson that is intended for the first days of school. They are led through introductions and how the class is organized for working on a daily basis. They sign behavior contracts and other paperwork as directed...

Third graders analyze their health. In this analysis lesson plan, 3rd graders rate their health on a 1-10 scale. They then tally the scores from the class and create a data chart. Then they answer true and false questions based on...

Students solve linear equations using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students depict real life situation using lines and functions. They identify the slope, data and predict graphing behavior.

Students explore the concept of dividing their money into categories, namely "save," "spend," and "share." They engage in activities that help them explain that money is limited in quantity and must be divided for different purposes.

What are some of the financial risks associated with using credit? Pupils learn the warning signs of incurring financial hardship, and through PowerPoint presentations, worksheets, and discussion, discover the...

Fifth graders name numbers through the hundred millions place and demonstrate where to correctly place the commas. Using a car place value line, they park cars with numbers on them in the correct place value spot. Students also read...

Students create "snowballs" from crumbled pieces of white paper. They then glue their snowball to the appropriate side of the graph to indicate who has and who has not thrown a snowball. The teacher and the calss then will count how many...

Third graders brainstorm a list how they use measurements everyday. Using string, they cut a piece long enough as their height and complete ratios using their arms and legs about old tales about measurements. They compare and contrast...

This lesson allows students to practice evaluating expressions using order of operations. They will create a calendar using symbols, and a PowerPoint presentation to review the order of operations. It also gives an assessment and ideas...

This lesson plan walks students through understanding and applying laws of exponents. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation, extension as well as ways to manage behavior problems and reluctant learners.

This lesson plan provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of real-world integers and create a PowerPoint presentation. It contains an assessment rubric as well as ideas for grouping students and managing...

This instructional activity introduces young scholars to experimental and theoretical probability using spinners and trials with pennies. Students also research careers that involve probability, and create a video presentation. It...
