Learners read different scenarios and discuss how to add fractions. in this addition of fractions lesson plan, students learn how to add unlike fractions and practice 4 problems.

Second graders explore estimation and rounding concepts using goldfish crackers and a song! They solve problems by estimating and rounding numbers and pick numbers within reason to represent certain objects.

Pupils use four different computer estimation applets with several classroom estimation activities.

Third graders gain an understanding of estimation as an educated guess. They explore measuring and how looking at various object size and shape can help form ones guess towards estimation. They use dinosaurs for an estimation activity.

Third graders use estimation, fractions and decimals to determine the perimeter of objects in the classroom. They are given a worksheet with a list of the items on it. The worksheet has columns beside each of the items for estimation and...

Second graders measure surface area and perimeter using estimation. They complete a variety of measurement activities using Cheerios breakfast cereal.

Eighth graders use ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems.  In this using ratios and proportions to solve real-life problems lesson, 8th graders estimate the cost of a road trip.  Students estimate the distance...

Students participate in an estimation activity to determine the length of a hallway or to estimate how many people can fit in the school stadium or gym.

Fourth graders complete a worksheet about approximate measurements. For this lesson on approximation, 4th graders compare the wingspan of a given bird to the wingspan of other birds and classroom objects.

Learners solve equations through trial and error. In this algebra lesson, students first estimate their answers and then calculate it to check their work. They solve problems involving roots and integers.

Third graders multiply whole numbers by one and two digit numbers using base ten blocks and Egg O multiplication game. students pass out egg cartons, counters, and a record sheet to each group.

To foster number sense and build problem solving skills, pupils will work through a complex word problem. They will be asked to analyze the data given, solve the problem, then share their thinking process with the class. This activity...

How accurate are robots? Groups draw lines by moving robots backwards and forwards by one rotation of the wheels. Using the appropriate formula, they determine the percent error in the length of the lines in relation to the calculated...

Enrico Fermi, the physicist responsible for the first nuclear detonation, was known for his ability to estimate with little or no data. Use this task to have your classes practice their Fermi skills. They estimate the magnitude of three...

Sixth graders explore standard and nonstandard measurement. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders estimate the lengths of different objects and write about their observations during measuring. Students work in groups to...

Roses are red, but did you know that some are lighter while others are darker? Scholars read an infographic to decipher the fraction and percent of rose color and their country of origin. They go on to make comparisons and estimate while...

Make an estimate by getting in line. The class works with scatter plots and lines of best fit to make an estimate for given values. Pupils determine whether there is a positive or negative correlation and draw a best-fit line. Using the...

How can you place a rectangular tile around a pipe? Scholars first use a model of a kitchen sink cabinet to take measurements. Using a compass and their knowledge of circles, they then cut out a circle from a piece of poster board (which...

Elementary learners discover counting through a counting chart. In this math lesson, students identify numbers 1-100. They then point or recite their counting numbers.

Young scholars explore grocery store circulars to choose items for a snack.  In this snack math lesson, students must plan a class snack for $20.00. Young scholars create a list estimating costs.  Students view lists and choose...

Learners demonstrate place values using pumpkin seeds as a math manipulative. They use manipulatives, models, known facts, properties and relationships to explain thinking processes. They estimate the number of seeds in their pumpkin.
