Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Students explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students apply problem solving procedures and skills to solve a given real life problem by manipulating felt squares to represent the possible combinations for a two color quilt.

Students practice identifying the comparative and superlative forms of language. The second phase of the lesson plan focuses on using the comparative and superlative forms actively in small group conversation.

Students read short essays on the characteristics of several cities. They discuss these characteristics focusing on the use of the passive and active voice in past tenses.

Students sort a variety of manipulatives and use a software program that provides more sorting practice.

Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

Students engage in a series of loco-motor activities based on shapes. In this loco-motor lesson, students demonstrate physical skills through races, jumping, hopping, galloping in circles, squares, rectangles and triangles.
