Young mathematicians explore integers. They review adding integers through engaging in mathematical labs. Each lab station is designed to reflect one of the multiple intelligences. Resources for all activities are provided.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

In the first part of a middle school assessment task, learners analyze a given statement about the amount of confetti revelers throw at Times Square on New Year's Eve. The second part of the task requires learners to identify objects...

Put the graph into graphing and allow learners to understand the concept of point plotting and how it relates to data. The worksheet provides a nice way to connect data analysis to a graph and make predictions. The worksheets within...

Division can be seen in two ways; as splitting a whole into a certain number of pieces, or splitting it into pieces of a certain size. Help your class reach this understanding with these two simple word problems. Encourage the use of...

Don't stuff money under your mattress. To find out why learners first complete a task determining how $24,000 in cash would affect the height of a mattress and whether this same amount would fit into a suitcase of given dimensions....

Model periodic populations. Here, in the context of foxes and rabbits, pupils look at graphs of the populations of these animals in a national park over a span of 24 months. Groups analyze the graphs and determine trigonometric...

Did you know a mathematician's favorite dessert is a fruit "pi"? By participating in a fruit cutting activity, young mathematicians realize one constant—the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is always pi. It is a perfect...

Scholars learn how to determine the area of compound shapes by finding the areas of the basic shapes that make it up. Pupils find the areas by adding areas together or subtracting them.

Young scholars explore probability by participating in an experimental activity. In this number statistics instructional activity, students collaborate in groups in which they move a game piece around a board. Young scholars calculate...

Students perform an activity in small groups in order to investigate different types of shapes found in photographs taken with a digital camera. The integration of technology is used to engage students in the lesson.

In this early childhood size comparison activity worksheet, students examine 6 boxes with 2 groupings of objects and circle the grouping in each box that has more items than the other grouping.

Using visual cues and hands on manipulatives are great for conveying concepts in a concrete way. Learners are given a set of rods, they break the set up into flats, then count the rods left over to determine an answer. There are 5...

Help young mathematicians see the value in addition and subtraction. Offering one addition and one subtraction problem, this worksheet walks learners step-by-step through the solutions of each, starting in the ones place and working...

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem in three-dimensional shapes. Young mathematicians watch a video that takes them through several examples of using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems involving lengths in three-dimensional figures. A...

Learners brainstorm how math is used in daily life. They develop a class list of different topic areas in which math is used and work in small groups to think of specific examples of how math is an important part of their lives.

Learners play with math. In this early childhood lesson plan, students create drawings of family members to use for math activities including counting, seriating, sorting, grouping, and sequencing.

Students estimate, measure, compute, and create patterns using jelly beans. In small groups, they solve various calculations, place jelly beans into groups, invent a new flavor, create a pattern, and complete a worksheet.

In this average worksheet, students solve 1 word problem. Students find the average age of 47 people given the average of 50 people and three people's ages who leave the group.

Students create a project applying their math skills as they discuss energy conservation. In this geometry lesson, students define vocabulary relating to the environment and energy conservation. They construct a building that allow lots...

Students apply understanding of fractions by converting a recipe to feed the class and the whole grade level. They calculate how many cookies the class would eat and multiply each fraction in the recipe accordingly.

For this counting sets of ten worksheet, students count groups of ten, write the two-digit numbers, and add the extra units. Students solve 9 problems.

For this lead blood levels worksheet, students use mathematics to determine the source of lead poisoning in children. They are given data, they analyze the data and they graph the blood level measurements vs. the mean blood lead level in...

Sixth graders examine how to locate coordinate points. In this coordinate graphing activity, 6th graders locate the x and y axis. Students use their arms to show horizontal and vertical lines, participate in group and...
