Two online lessons, one in math and one in language arts, are here for you. In them, learners play online games which reinforce important skills in literacy and numeracy. The thing I like about both of these lessons is that they get the...

Apply the concept of magnitude to estimate values and compare numbers. The ninth lesson of the 15-part series asks learners to write numbers to their next greatest power of 10 and then make comparisons. Scholars begin to understand the...

Clever! Use a clip from the 1997 film, Volcano, to get your chemistry class knee-deep in heat concepts related to lava. In the movie scene, lava flow is stopped in the nick of time. Your class must use calculations to determine if this...

The pre-lab portion of the lesson introduces emerging geologists to the various layers that make up Earth. After completing a sheet on the identification of the layers, class members simulate plate boundaries and their...

Learners read the book Sam I Am and complete math calculations on the prices of ingredients that Sam did not want to eat. In this math calculations lesson plan, students list the items Sam would not eat into a computer program and...

Students examine microscopes and how to calculate total magnification.  In this calculations lesson students complete an activity of calculations. 

Second graders solve math problems.  In this calculator lesson, 2nd graders practice typing money amounts into a calculator and use the calculator to solve math problems involving money.

Students calculate baseball statistics. In this data analysis instructional activity, students use baseball statistics to calculate the batting average and slugging percentage. Students visit www.funbrain.com to play a math baseball game.

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders use a graphing calculator to evaluate trigonometric functions and their inverses. The four page worksheet contains explanation, examples, and twenty questions. Answers are not...

Students explore environmental issues by completing a food production class activity. In this carbon footprint lesson, students discuss the types of foods they eat, where they come from and what types of methods are used to transport...

Teach the masses about the metric system with this hands-on measurement lesson. Given a fruit or vegetable, learners estimate, measure, and convert its mass using the metric units gram and kilogram.

Name that shape! Your math class identifies cubes and other three-dimensional products. They practice calculating the volume of cubes and identify cubes around them in the classroom. Worksheets and directions are provided.

Do your scholars have a basic understanding of area calculations? Give them an extra challenge with this irregular shape missing one of its length measurements. Using the given lengths, they figure the area of the entire shape. The...

Without data, all you are is another person with an opinion. Show learners the power of statistics and probability in making conclusions and predictions. Using two-way frequency tables, learners determine independence by analyzing...

Significant figures estimate the precision of your calculations. Teach your high school scientists how to count and identify significant figures at the beginning of the school year so that they are adept at using them in their...

Take your class on the ride of their lives! Physical science scholars get an in-depth look at potential and kinetic energies in an amusement park-themed unit. Students research, design, and promote their own amusement parks,...

How do you display data that you've collected in a pie chart? Follow a clear step-by-step guide to turning survey results into a visible format. It shows kids how to determine the percentage of the whole that each section represents.

Apply volume and area formulas to find the volume of any right prism. The 26th lesson of a 29-part module examines methods for finding the volume of right prisms with varying shapes of bases. Learners use the formula V = Bh to find...

Most objects have irregular dimensions — you have to find them! Teach your class how to find the volume of composite objects that can be decomposed into prisms. Objects get increasingly more complex as the lesson progresses.

Accuracy is key! Using the detailed resource, scholars practice their presicion skills, taking online spelling and typing tests. Next, they demonstrate accuracy by calculating the gross and net pay of five hypothetical employees.

Learn a different way to determine variability. An informative lesson provides directions on how to calculate the mean absolute deviation of a data set. Pupils use examples to learn the process and then practice finding the mean absolute...

Use right triangles for more than just mathematical problems. The first two lessons of a unit ask pupils determine distances between cities by using the Pythagorean Theorem and a map. To cement understanding, learners use trigonometric...

Time for your classes to show off what they've learned! The 11th installment in the series of 24 uses concepts learned in the previous 10 lessons to create the perfect shampoo formula. Their formulas consider both sustainability and...

What does salary have to do with it? Working in small groups, scholars use percentages to find simple interest and the value of a car they can afford on a given salary. Learners continue on to work with salaries and calculate amounts...
