Students explore parts of a whole. In this fraction lesson, students determine what makes a fair share. Working with manipulatives, students solve mathematical problems containing fractions.

Math scholars recognize place value and practice writing numbers in different forms, such as expanded notation, decimals, and improper fractions. They complete exercises that include creating models for fractions and decimals and...

Learners measure their body. In this measurement lesson, students use a string to measure their height and the circumference of their head. They record this information on the worksheet provided and answer questions as a group. 

A teacher guided lesson on perfect squares and factoring. They discuss perfect squares, observe the expansion steps for finding the product, and practice solving problems. They complete a worksheet on perfect squares and factoring.

Learners create three-dimension models demonstrating exponents, multiplying and dividing of fractions, and the use of repeating patterns in tessellations, mirror images, and tiling.

Students study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Students complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

Students define fractals and patterns. They explore how a seemingly random process can result in a pattern. Students practice probability and fractions skills by playing the chaos game online.

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

Students collect and record data. In this early data analysis instructional activity, students gather data about their partners face. As a class, the students use tally marks and pictographs to record the data and answer question about...

Students create a pie graph using M&Ms to demonstrate the composition of air. They label each section of the graph, and list the fractions from largest to smallest.

Students examine and compare traits of humans and crocodiles.  In this crocodile lesson students use a ratio to estimate the height of a person and compare that to a crocodile. 

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Students participate in a game in which they compare fractions and graph the fractions.

Aspiring statisticians create tree diagrams and figure probabilities of events based on those diagrams. They practice adding and multiplying fractions and explain complementary probabilities. Learners use computers activities to make...

Students create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be selected for...

Young scholars create a classroom quilt that illustrates the many unique ways that students use math skills.

Young scholars study related addition and subtraction facts. For this math lesson, students use related addition and subtraction to solve problems. Young scholars use manipulatives to explore fact families.

Students decorate and use popsicle sticks to use as manipulatives to assist with their learning of fractions. They play learning games with their popsicle sticks with a partner.

Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

Second graders explore fractions as something shared evenly. In this fractions lesson, 2nd graders watch a video and discuss how bookcases and drawers could be divided evenly.

Students read the novel Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner. Using Lego RCX units, students build and program sleds to re-enact the "home stretch" of the National Dog Sled Race.

Second graders write and solve story problems which involve whole numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. They solve multiplication problems by using strategies other than counting all. They interpret and solve...
