Students focus on several objects which causes them to move in different directions during this outdoor activity.

Students perform a simulation in which they work for a toy company and have to figure out how many marbles of different sizes can be made with the provided material. They must design their own experiment to figure this out.

Students discuss jettons and their archaeological importance at Jamestown. They then practice using historic counting sheets and artifacts to understand the calculating methods of the early 17th Century, and identify their similarities...

In this unit students use the traditional tale of the gingerbread man as a context for ordering and comparing lengths. They compare the length of two objects directly, order three or more objects by length and select objects that are...

In this unit, 1st graders use measurement language and counting to compare objects in a variety of game situations. Students also practice the advanced concept of counting to advanced counting.

Learners problem solve to calculate the number of times various listed objects could fit onto Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They create a scale drawing of the listed objects in comparison to the bridge.

Students apply estimation strategies for problem-solving purposes. They become familiar with one aspect of a marine biologist's work.

Learners solve problems involving motion and distance. In this calculus lesson, students use to derivative to calculate the velocity-of a function. They observe objects moving along a straight line.

Students solve piecewise functions. In this precalculus lesson, students model real life scenarios using velocity and piecewise. They create velocity graphs and find the beginning and end position of an object.

Seventh graders explore surface area. They study the difference between two and three-dimensional objects. The teacher leads a discussion about finding the surface area of different size cubes. In pairs, 7th graders use graph paper to...

Students differentiate between a meteor and meteorite. They participate in an experiment to discover how the size and weight of an object determines the size of the impact crater. They utilize their math skills by measuring with a ruler...

Students explain how the food chain works. They contrast predators with prey and describe their function in nature. Students discuss how the food chain aids in keeping nature balanced. In small groups, they play a game that simulates the...

For this beginning division worksheet, students solve 5 problems in which object are divided evenly. Students use objects and bowls to divide evenly.

Students participate in mathematical music and subtraction using their fingers when indicated in the song. In this music/math lesson, students count their fingers and  pretend their fingers are cookies. Students sing the song and...

Students research about the characteristics of celestial bodies using a database. In this space science lesson plan, students collect data such as brightness, apparent color and size by observing the night sky. They share their findings...

Students sort a bag of M&M candies according to color using a sorting mat. They count M&M candies. They compare the number to their prediction then students create tally charts.

Students engage in a lesson in which the teacher can evaluate, reinforce and reteach numeral recognition, one to one matching and the writing of numerals from 1-20. 'Anno's Counting Book' is used to kick off this lesson.

Students use Venn diagrams to represent classifications of shapes and to use counting arguments to find the number of objects in a given set.

Students help plan a party for Q-Bear and think about some of the different ways people celebrate their birthdays. They then demonstrate knowledge and understanding of customs and traditions associated with participation in cultural...

Students participate in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts of arrays and factors. They use a Hershey bar and divide it into segments in order to simulate the arrays. Then students construct other arrays from the leftover pieces.

First graders complete center activities as they practice their addition and subtraction skills. They listen to Rick Walton's, "How Many, How Many, How Many" before playing games, and completing addition and subtraction worksheets at...

First graders graph a data set. Given a set of buttons, 1st graders sort them into categories using specific attributes. They graph the number of buttons in their set based on their attributes using a variety of graphs. Students share...

Learners find math concepts in every day items. In this math concept lesson, students take ten photographs of things they find interesting. They analyze the photographs to find hidden math concepts such as counting, lines, angles,...

Students have oceans of fun transforming a wienie into an octopus they can eat! After counting, cutting halves and fourths, observing steam and the effects of heat, they mix colors as they create a yummy dipping sauce from mustard and...
