Students observe that there are myriad combinations of rhythms to choose from when improvising jazz and blues music, and recognize that while the variations seem infinite, they are in fact finite. They notate a 12 bar blues progression...

Students explore the various rhythmic combinations in jazz and blues music. They watch a video segment, apply a mathematical formula to calculate the number of possible rhythmic combinations, and perform a combination of notes and...

This lesson enables students to gain a broader awareness of the basic blues scale and the harmonic structure of the standard blues progression. Students will be given introductory exercises on blues improvisation and will also...

Students explore the relationships of space through movement. Two perform movement improvisation based on over/under. The activity improves hand-eye coordination, cooperation, and communication skills. The timing of the dance also...

Pupils practice math, language, and music skills. In this interdisciplinary lesson plan, students learn the song "Roll Over!" practicing repeating word patterns and subtraction skills. Pupils improvise in the song by adding...

Explore the relationship between perimeter and area. Learners input the area and perimeter for shapes on the Shape Explorer website, solve problems using geoboards, complete a worksheet, create a PowerPoint presentation, and take an...

Third graders are exposed to finding the area of polygons by decomposing figures and recomposing them into rectangles. This strategy allows children to expand on their prior knowledge of constructing shapes by rearranging parts into...

Explore how resizing an object affects its area. The set of lessons challenges young mathematicians to design a mascot for electronic devices. These designs undergo resizing to determine how scale factors of dilation affect area.

Paste this resource into your lesson plans like you'd paste a tile onto a mural. Given a diagram of a tile mural with rectilinear figures, future artists determine the perimeters and areas of the figures. They must then develop their own...

Young scholars explore basic math functions by singing with their classmates. In this addition and subtraction lesson plan, students sing the song "5 Green and Speckled Frogs"and complete a list of subtraction problems. Young scholars...

Students use movement and dance in order to strengthen mathematical understanding of different geometric shapes. The movements are imitating the drawing of shapes and they pick one to make into a dance. Upon beginning the dance music can...

This is a rectangle subdivision task; ideally instead of counting each square. students should break the letters into rectangles, multiply to find the areas, and add up the areas. Aligns with 3.MD.C: CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.6 Measure...

Find volume of 3-dimensional figures by counting unit cubes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This task provides an opportunity to compare the relative volumes of boxes in order to calculate the mass of clay required to fill them. Aligns with 5.MD.C.

In this lesson, 4th graders will investigate equivalent fractions using their bodies and space.

In this lesson plan, 3rd graders use their physical bodies to solve multiplication and division problems, using Hula Hoops to help group and enact math problems.

Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This lesson introduces the units of distance (cubed units) used to describe volume. Students watch a video tutorial and then can take an online quiz.

Learn how to solve the volume of a cube or box on this site. See how the formula is used to find the volume of the shape.
