Students play PIG, which is an addition game, played between two or more students (but they CAN play alone!). The first player rolls the 6-sided, pip dice. They add up the total by counting the pips, using their fingers.

Students explore the concept of A-B and A-B-B patterns, and show this by creating a pattern with concrete objects and on the Kid Pix Deluxe computer program.

Students count to 10 by using cheerios as manipulatives, identify numbers 1-10 by sight, and go to a website by using the Internet and computer keyboard (numeric) to answer questions (with help of teacher).

Students measure their own silhouette using Unifix cubes. They measure a drawing using non-standard measurement. They swap drawings and compare their measurements.

Young scholars listen and discuss word problems that promote students to demonstrate logical reasoning. In this logical reasoning lesson plan, young scholars discuss 10 word problems.

Students examine buoyancy and fluid pressure. They conduct a series of fun experiments to discover the effects of pressure and explore how pressure differences can be used to float, lift, transport, or hold a material in place.

Students examine Holocaust memorials to discover expressive power of shapes, practice creating simple geometric shapes or forms, and practice calculating ratios, area, and/or volume.

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

Students view a video and discuss different kinds of feet found in the animal kingdom. They make prints using paint, rubber stamps and their own feet and then measure and compare the tracks.

Students interview each other to find similarities and differences with their partner. They create a Venn diagram that displays their findings and then using hula hoops as a large scale model present their Venn diagram to the class as a...

Students sing a song that counts backwards from five to one and illustrate the countdown with puppets. They write the correct subtraction problem for each verse of the song.

Students use their fine motor skills to create a pattern of one-hundred fruit cereal O's using the concept of counting by tens in order to create a one-hundredth day of school necklace.

Every morning students complete the weather chart. They use colors to reflect the cloud cover and symbols for rain, snow, etc.

Students explore color recognition and demonstrate underhand toss skills. They participate in a game by lining up, and running to and recognizing the color of beanbag the teacher calls out, and toss that color beanbag through a hula-hoop.

Fifth graders build objects using various materials. They estimate the weight of the object using individual building pieces. Then they weigh the actual object and then tear it apart and weigh the pieces. They compare the two weights.

Students investigate geometric shapes through volume and dimensions. In this geometry lesson, students measure, weigh, and calculate sizes and volume based on estimation and calculation. They review important vocabulary related to prisms...

Students look at a day's accumulation of recyclable trash from first through fifth grade classrooms, not knowing which classes it came from. After setting up a collection sheet for data, students remove items from the receptacle and...

Students participate in and conduct a survey to determine various class favorites. They collect, organize and display their data, interpret the results, and complete a packet of worksheets to display the information.

Fourth graders calculate and determine the distances between counties in Utah. Using a map of Utah, they determine the distance between three county seats, the total distance round trip, and label a map with the distances.

Fifth graders experience a lesson to investigate the methods for finding the area of a circle. They use the drawing of segments in order to visualize how a circle can be proposed of many parts. Then students brainstorm in order to derive...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes that...

Seventh graders identify and find missing patterns. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders investigate numbers and sequences and complete the pattern. They make a chart and discuss similarities and differences.

Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals (square,...

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...
