Build boxes using unit cubes to compare surface area and volume. The group performs multiple experiments to determine properties of volume, such as if it makes a difference which order the dimensions are multiplied in. Extensive...

Count with ten frames in a first grade addition lesson. Kids determine how to identify numbers on a number line, as well as with ten frames, and complete ten frames to show their answers in several addition problems.

There's a high likelihood for learner success in this set of probability problems and activities. From support activities that walk learners through joint and compound probabilities through the cumulative activity of planning to win...

Learners calculate volume using the correct formula and the correct unit. They explore different prisms, spheres, cubes, and cones as they calculate volume and relate it to depths in oceans.

Upper graders explore the topic of volume. In this math lesson plan, pupils count volume in cubic units, multiply to find volume, estimate volume, write a multiplication sentence to find the volume, and make a cost analysis of different...

Few topics engage young mathematicians as much as learning about money. Through a series of shared readings and hands-on activities, children explore the US currency system, learning how to count money and calculate change as they create...

Students count back with cubes to model subtraction problems. In this subtraction lesson plan, students compare sets of problems and record their results in a table.

Show the class how to find the factors of numbers. They use a variety of strategies, including unifix cubes, to find the factors of a whole number. This resource includes clear procedure to follow. Included are an anticipatory set,...

Second graders find missing addends by solving math word problems. In this missing addend instructional activity, 2nd graders work in a whole group setting to find the missing addends in word problems before using the strategies to work...

Second graders examine the relationship between addition and subtraction. In this number sense lesson, 2nd graders practice their computation skills and use various strategies (including manipulatives and calculators)  to...

Here is a fabulous lesson plan on problem solving in the mathematical world. In it, third and fourth graders get lots of great coaching on how to approach word problems, and how to best find a solution. They watch an episode of Reading...

Ninth graders factor equations and find prime numbers. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders find the factors and prime factors of a number using multiples and relatively prime numbers.

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

Students play a bingo game to classify 3 dimensional shapes. In this 3 dimensional shapes lesson plan, students identify, describe, and classify shapes by playing a bingo game.

Just how big would it really be? Young mathematicians determine if different toys are proportional and if their scale is accurate. They solve problems relating scale along with volume and surface area using manipulatives. The...

There is more than one way to measure an amount, as learners discover by applying multiple measurement tools in these activities. Centimeter cubes, cylinders, beakers, and measuring cups are used to find the volume of regular and...

Pupils subtract two digit numbers. They check each other's answers for accuracy.

Sixth graders measure different objects using one inch and centimeter cubes as a reference. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders construct inch and centimeter rulers then measure objects while also converting units of measurement.

Second graders count fake money by grouping like coins together. In this counting lesson plan, 2nd graders complete worksheets provided in this lesson.

First graders practice place value by completing problems that allow them to group 10 items together to create groups of 10 and see what is left over. In this place value lesson plan, 1st graders use cups to put 10 items in them, and...

Students investigate the geometry concept of spatial relationships. They draw a replica of a cube. Students list the planes on the cube and go into further depth with identifying the parallel line in segments of the cube. The...

Do these items have the same ratio? Through a learning contract, pupils master proportions by practicing proportions via word problems, graphs, and with manipulatives. An exit ticket checks for understanding at the end of the...

Young mathematicians study probability. In this math lesson, learners calculate odds, and convert those into percentages of probability. Fractions are also used, making this lesson quite rich in some of the more difficult conversions...

Seventh graders use online math games to practice understanding the skill of estimation and order of operations. In this lesson, 7th graders use the internet to play online games to strengthen their understanding of these skills.
