Learners research the history of Chinese tangrams and complete tangram activities. In this tangram lesson, students complete Internet research to learn the history of Chinese tangrams. Learners construct a set of tangrams, compare the...

Seventh graders construct a three dimensional model of a constellation. In this constellation lesson, 7th graders make a blueprint for a scale model of the constellation and create their models. They present their models to the class.

Seventh graders study ratios, scale and distances according to a three dimensional model.  In this exploratory lesson plan students create their own constellation and prepare an oral presentation that describes their model. 

Students investigate the unemployment rate in Canada. In this statistics lesson, students collect data on youth finding jobs, graph and analyze the data. This assignment raises awareness of the employment problems in Canada.

Fifth graders look at the Garrison flag and estimate how big it is. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders then calculate the area and perimeter of the flag.

Students add and subtract polynomials. In this polynomials assessment, students calculate ten questions using addition and subtraction. Students use Lego manipulatives to create their own worksheet on polynomials.

Students collect data on the time of the ferry. In this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.

Students identify the properties of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of diameter to sections of a pizza. They calculate the measure of an arc and missing angles.

Young scholars calculate how many quarters are in a $1,000 bag (after learning the dollar value of filled coin bags). They explain their problem-solving strategy using pictures, numbers, equations, and/or words.

Students build a stack of pennies as tall as possible, recording the number of pennies they are able to stack before the tower falls. Then, sharing answers, they determine the average number of pennies that could be stacked.

Students retrieve and map census data to determine the average rent and owners' payments made throughout Canada. They find out how many people are spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Fifth graders explore fact families. They solve simple math problems. Students determine which mathematical property is used to solve the given problem. They are given five minutes to complete as many mathematical facts as possible.

Second graders listen to the book, Down Buttermilk Lane by Barbara Mitchell. They discover how to read a grid and then together as a class, plot 2 squares, one yellow and one green. Then they plot the remaining squares independently and...

Geometry adventurers study circumference of a circle as they listen to Sir Circumference and the Dragon Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander. In groups, they use string to measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects and...

Students answer coin related math questions using the guess, check and revise process for problem solving.

Students explore a variety of works of art to discover the relationships and common themes that connect math, science, and technology. Several pieces of the work of Thomas Cole are examined and linked to the four seasons.

Students estimate the size of a sea turtle nest, or clutch, that contains about 120 eggs. They decide what type of container that they are familiar with that could hold a complete nest or clutch. Finally, students calculate the volume...

Fourth graders, after being given a box of cornbread mix, follow the directions to make the cornbread. They utilize measuring cups to mix all the ingredients together and incorporate adding simple fractions while mixing up the cornbread.

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...

Students complete bar graphing activities with a dinosaur theme. Students discuss their favorite dinosaurs, collect data about the discussion, and make a floor graph of the information. Students complete a dinosaur graph worksheet.

Third graders pair up and listen to each others heartbeat. They run in place for one minute and then listen again and calculate the beats per minute resting and after activity. They switch and repeat the activity.

Eighth graders visit two websites about France in order to take a virtual trip of France. They answer specific questions about France and state the similarities and differences between France and the U.S.
