Fifth graders use arrays to show the meaning of multipication in selected situations. They practice using large and small arrays. The lesson has numerous activities, which gives students more opportunities to display academic growth.

Fifth graders examine multiplication. They construct arrays to demonstrate specific multiplication facts. They identify examples and non-examples of arrays. Students use counters to model the commutative property of multiplication.

Fifth graders identify different angles according to its type that is determined according to taking a measurement of the degree. They also explore the vocabulary related to the concept.

Fifth graders examine fractional parts of pie graphs. Given a bag of M&Ms, 5th graders interpret the data. They use a paper plate and colors to create a graph of the types of M&Ms represented.

Students investigate concepts of working with fractions. They compare different fractions and put them in chronological order. The quantities are compared as either being larger or smaller also.

Sixth graders perform the Order of Operations. Given various story problems, groups of students solve equations requiring division, multiplication, parenthesis, exponents and other mathematical processes. They discuss the order of...

Sixth graders use a number line to solve addition and subtraction problems. In groups, they play a game of "Human Number Line Relay." They use a deck of cards to randomly create addition and subtraction equations and physically walk a...

Sixth graders identify prime and composite numbers and complete an activity problem. Given a 100 chart, they follow directions to create a prime number chart. In groups, 6th graders play a "Prime Take Away" activity to reinforce prime...

Sixth graders investigate the concept of prime and composite numbers. They use a review of multiplication to help explain factoring. Students are taught the definition of a prime and composite number and then practice independently.

Fourth graders use drawing and paint tools to identify, draw and state several geometric terms.

Young scholars are introduced to the concept of aerial perspective and scale. Students will use satellite technology to view their neighborhoods and sketch the area surrounding their schools. They will take part in a neighborhood walk to...

Students take pictures of items they believe have at least one line of symmetry. They print their photos out in class and analyze the items they photographed. They continue by entering the names of their pictures into a spreadsheet. They...

Sixth graders inspect prime and composite numbers. Using graph paper, they draw as many different shaped rectangles as possible. They use the dimensions of the rectangles to discuss prime and composite numbers. Students create a chart...
