Now that geometers know how to solve for square units, can they solve for cubed units? Explore this concept as scholars examine four cubes to solve for volume in each. A detailed example explains this process, but you may consider asking...

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids instructional activity, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Students explore the concept of probability.  In this probability lesson, students roll a six-sided number cube and record the frequency of each outcome.  Students graph their data using a frequency chart and keep tally marks...

After reading a short passage that identifies different types of geometric solids, kids answer a series of questions using information found in the article.

Here is a great learning task that focuses on the development of areas in computational fluency including strategies in mental math. Young learners are guided through a list of addition expressions that help them visually understand the...

Here's a task that is out of this world! Given a description of a fictional cube-shaped planet, scholars answer a set of questions about the planet. They create a two-dimensional map and consider the distances between locations on the map.

First graders, with partners, create and solve math problems using number and unifix cubes.

Budding math analyists look at 4-digit numbers that are broken down by thousands, hundreds, tens and units. They write each number in words and represent them using their unifix cubes of base 10 blocks. There are two problems to complete...

In this calculating volume instructional activity, learners read the instructions and study the examples pertaining to calculating the volume of a cube. Students solve 20 problems. This page is intended for online use but may be...

Second graders solve real world division story problems using unifix cubes. They read "A Remainder of One" and discuss the concept of remainders. They solve the division problems first with the cubes and then write the problem and answer...

Learners explore geometry using a Rubik's Cube. In this 2-D and 3-D shapes activity, students use the Rubik's Cube to find the center, edge and corner pieces. Learners then find the dimensions of the Rubik's Cube and read the solution...

Fourth graders practice making patterns using Unifix cubes and identify, analyze, and determine rules for describing numerical patterns involving operations and nonnumerical growing patterns. They also find an example of a pattern in...

A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

English language arts, math, science, dramatic arts, and cooking; this activity has it all! In this multidisciplinary resource, your scholars will take part in a read aloud of The Ogre Bully by A.B. Hoffmire and have a grand...

Geometric shapes are the focus of a comprehension exercise that asks readers to examine a short passage about planes, circles, triangles, and rectangles, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Figure out the correct name for different three-dimensional shapes by watching the presentation on solid figures. Go through the main figures and read about the characteristics of each. Finish the topic with a multiple choice online...

Not only is pattern recognition an essential skill for young children to develop, it's also a lot of fun to teach! Over the course of this lesson, class members participate in shared readings, perform small group...

Clarify the Common Core standards for your eighth grade mathematicians with this series of classroom displays. By rewriting each standard as an achievable "I can" statement, these posters give students clear goals to work toward...

Reinforce the concept of factors, multiples, and prime numbers with a 16-problem practice worksheet. Eight pages offer a variety of problem solving opportunities with clear objectives and tips for successful completion. 

Students inspect divisibility rules. In this divisibility rules lesson, students study the relationship between factorization and the divisibility rules for 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10. Students read One Hundred Hungry Ants and A Remainder of...

Third graders review place value by arranging four numbers to make the highest number possible. They are shown a hundred flat. Students are asked to show another way of making 100 using base-ten blcoks. They are then shown a thousands...

Here is a fabulous lesson on problem solving in the mathematical world. In it, third and fourth graders get lots of great coaching on how to approach word problems, and how to best find a solution. They watch an episode of Reading...
