Focus on the key word fewer with young counters as they draw familiar sets of objects. For each, they examine an original set (i.e. candies in a jar) and draw a set with fewer. There are nice, clear graphics and kids will enjoy the...

By drawing five more objects to existing sets, scholars begin to understand the concept of addition. They count pails and draw five more, totaling them and recording the sums. There are three of these followed by four more similar...

Students review how to count the total amount of arrangements using multiplication. Using a computer, they determine the amount of cars needed for a parade in their local community to move the town's officials. They identify any patterns...

Eighth graders view pictures that show many objects, estimate amount that they think they saw, and take class data from estimation to find the mean, median, mode, and range for the class.

1. practice numeral recognition 1- 10 2. practice counting a set of concrete objects and match it to the corresponding numeral 3. identify a digital camera and learn to take a picture;The students will: 1. Listen to the book, "Ten Apples...

A clever visual known as "Measurement Man" is used to relate the number of units used to measure an object. Fourth graders fill in blanks with the correct numbers to show how many cups in a pint, how many quarts in a gallon, and other...

In this second grade lesson your class will practice telling time. The goal is to tell time to five minutes using an analog clock. Your young students count by 5 minute intervals and discuss elapsed time. 

Sixth graders develop a rule for finding the volume of rectangular solids using colored cubes. They investigate the properties of solid figures and find the volume of an object by counting units. Students fill spaces with standard-sized...

Scholars make a giant scale model of an object. They will take a regular item and enlarge it to five times its length and width. They attempt this same concepts with a 3D model.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of probability. In this probability instructional activity, learners conduct an experiment with a bag of marbles. Pupils draw marbles from a bag and determine the probability of drawing a...

Partitive division is when you divide a set of objects equally one-by-one. This presentation shows how six items can be divided into three boxes equally. After the concrete division process is complete, the equation is shown along with...

Second graders review measurements in inches and practice measuring different objects. As a class, they estimate various objects in their classroom and compare their estimation to the actual measurement. To end the lesson, they complete...

Students explore how to measure length and volume. They compare and order objects according to their measurable attributes and measure items using non-standard units. Students put 4 pencils in order from shortest to longest after...

Learners are introduced to units of measurement found on a ruler as well as what attributes make an object difficult or easier to measure with a ruler. The teacher has various objects placed around the room, and the youngsters practice...

In this mean/average worksheet, learners find the mean in three ways: one, by redrawing the objects in a set to show the mean, two, by adding the numbers and dividing by how many numbers there are and three, by finding the mean with or...

Students identify how many smaller units can be found in a later unit. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and the transfer amount to a smaller unit. They solve real life problems using the formula for volume.

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Begin your study of single-digit numbers with this activity on the number one. Young counters first trace and write the digit several times. Next, they practice counting by recording how many objects are in each image (always one)....

Learners play a game requiring them to select groups of odd or even numbers of objects with the aim of reaching a total which is an odd number. They carry out a more formal investigation of patterns in additions of odd and even numbers.

Students investigate the concepts of volume for rectangular prisms and spheres. They measure the volume of one balloon and then consider how many breaths it would take to fill the room with balloons. The rectangular prism being measured...

Eighth graders continue their geometry unit by focusing on volume. Using data, they create a spreadsheet, estimate and calculate volume. They solve real-life problems and round their answers to the hundredths place. They also practice...

Here is a way to help your charges identify circles and spheres. In this shapes geometry and technology lesson, students identify and draw circles and explain the related attributes. They recognize circles and spheres while exploring...

Choose to supplement your probability unit with this resource and you won't be disappointed with the outcome. Teach young mathematicians to organize information using tree diagrams and lists in order to determine the possible outcomes of...

Learners work in pairs during this activity to explore even and odd numbers. Each pair is given a bag of candy which they have to count and divide up. If each partner has the same amount the number is even, if one is left over then the...
