Students love to have choice and move around the classroom in this measurement lesson that begins with a beloved picture book.

This interactive exercise focuses on discovering the relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes.

Lesson introducing the basic three-dimensional shapes (sphere, cylinder, cone, cube). Common items with those shapes are hidden on the playground for students to find and photograph. Pictures are then used to create a photostory....

Students evaluate numbers raised to the third power on these interactive flashcards. The problem changes color when the correct answer is typed.

Did you know that the five regular platonic solids (tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, cube, and dodecahedron) were thought to represent earth, air, fire, water, and the universe? This chart shows an image and provides a description...

Use this online calculator to calculate the volume of geometric solids including a capsule, cone, frustum, cube, cylinder, hemisphere, pyramid, rectangular prism, sphere, and spherical cap.

In this activity, students learn about ocean currents and the difference between salt and fresh water. They use colored ice cubes to see how cold and warm water mix and how this mixing causes currents. Also, students learn how surface...

Kindergarteners can participate in the engineering and design process in this challenge in which they try to keep an ice cube from melting. Included in this lesson are samples of student's structures, a video of a kindergarten class...

This page give a nice definition of Java applets and two examples of an applet. Download the files and try it yourself!

Students test whether the color of a material affects how much heat it absorbs. Students will place an ice cube in a box made of colored paper (one box per color; white, yellow, red and black), which they will place in the sun. The...

This activity gives students practice counting for meaning using unifix cubes or snap cubes. Students will count the number of unifix cubes then match the rod up to the correct number on a number line. Extension activities are included.

The purpose of this task is to promote certain addition strategies that will help students learn to fluently add and subtract within 20. Students will use a number line or magnetic cubes to solve addition problems. Students will be asked...

Students will work in pairs and measure each other using Unifix cubes. They will record their measurements on a worksheet which is included. Detailed instructions are provided.

In this two-day lesson, learners will collaborate to create a healthy pizza using only geometric items that have been precisely measured. Students must identify the items as triangle, quadrilateral (parallelogram), or cube. Next,...

SWBAT explore the characteristics of cubes, pattern blocks, and geometry blocks. SWBAT count a set of objects up to 20 by 1's. SWBAT play the game "Greater Than" with a partner, using the correct vocabulary.

It's getting buggy! Students use unifix cubes as their non-standard measurement tool.
