Students measure the perimeter of a square and create squares with specific perimeters in this lesson for the early-elementary classroom. The lesson includes templates for AppleWorks, Inspiration, and Kidspiration educational software.

Students examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. In this geometry and probability lesson, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of landing on a...

Students investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. In this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable to...

Fifth graders explore common factors. For this factorization lesson, 5th graders discover the greatest common factor among two numbers in a game format. Students build on previous knowledge to determine the greatest common factor.

Students investigate place value and decimals during baseball related activities. In this place value lesson, students explore place value with decimals. Resources are included.

Students investigate the value of coins. For this coin value lesson, students read The Penny Pot by Stuart Murphy. Students expand on skills learned in the book and engage in activities to determine the value of a mixed set of coins...

Fifth graders compare fractions. In this fraction lesson, 5th graders identify whether a fraction is closest to zero, half, or one and use common denominators. They put fractions in order and complete real-life fraction questions. 

Students build knowledge about the number relationships between decimals and percents as it relates to converting decimals into percents. In this decimal and percent instructional activity, students recognize equivalent forms of...

Students explore American tall tales. In this tall tale instructional activity, students discover the six characteristics that are included in tall tales. Students survey their class to find each student's favorite tall tale character...

Sixth graders build figures out of tangrams. For this symmetry lesson, 6th graders view tangrams and identify the polygons included in them. Students divide into groups, identify their tangram pieces, define the lines of symmetry, and...

Fifth graders play Battleshapes which is a variation of Battleship with geometry. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders get a graph paper with four quadrants. They call out coordinate points and attempt to sink their opponents shapes. 

Young scholars explore algebraic concepts using real life situations.  In this equations lesson, students develop strategies to solve missing number problems. Young scholars participate in a board game based on algebraic equations.

Students use expanded notation. In this mathematics instructional activity, students determine the place value of a digit within a whole number. Students use manipulatives, words, and symbols to represent whole numbers.

Students inspect divisibility rules. For 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...

Learners explore the physical properties of eggs. In this scientific observation lesson, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple experiments using...

Second graders explore estimation and place value. In this place value lesson plan, 2nd graders estimate and construct numbers while working with spider activities. Students use addition and subtraction to compare estimates. Resources...

Students determine how to make the largest sum of money using the least amount of coins. In this mixed currency lesson, students listen to a reading of If You Made a Million by David M. Schwartz before participating in money counting...

Third graders work with place value. In this place value lesson, 3rd graders write three digit numbers and tell the place value of each number. They compare numbers and money, regroup, discuss the value of coins, and count money.  

Second graders identify the value of coins and make change from a dollar using different amounts. They are given story problems and use a fake shop in which they can buy things in which they have to determine how much change they would...

Second graders explore geometry by experimenting with fold-ables. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders utilize cutout shapes from construction paper which they experiment with by folding. Students examine the symmetry and...

Students learn the four orders of architecture: Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite. They create their own 3d structure and work together in groups. They create basic geometric shapes. # Have fun learning about art history,...
