Eighth graders investigate how to combine polynomials using different operations. The use of tiles is done in order to accommodate those who are kinesthetic learners. The sequencing of the lesson plan is easy to follow.

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph...

Young scholars explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students perform various probability experiments including flipping a coin, picking m&m's out of a bag, and the birthday problem.

First graders practice subtraction with manipulatives. For this subtraction lesson, 1st graders use M&M's to count and then take away. They write number sentences to match their subtraction problems.

Pupils investigate orthographic drawings. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

Students investigate ratios of various objects.  In this ratios of various objects lesson, students draw pictures on graph paper and then dilate or shrink the image.  Students determine the ratio of their pictures. ...

Students notice a number pattern in the book The Rabbit Problem by Emily Gravett. In this number pattern lesson, students represent and describe numbers appropriate to their grade level.

Students solve area problems.  In this area, circumference, and perimeter lesson, students solve area and perimeter problems using standard and metric units of measure.  They identify the best customary unit of measure for a...

Students investigate triangles and congruences. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. They differentiate between similar and congruent triangles.

Students identify the ratios of trig functions. In this trigonometry instructional activity, students construct triangles and use it to derive the values of sine, cosine and tangent. They use Cabri software to create the visual of the...

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Students find the mean, median and mode. In hs statistics lesson, students collect, plot and analyze data. The identify the effect the central tendency have on the data and line.

Students practice their oral counting skills using a hundreds chart and pennies as manipulatives.

Students recall basic multiplication facts by writing answers on a wheel form, competing against other teams to finish the wheels. They review multiplication facts on a Spinning Wheels Web Lesson.

Students explore the concept of area. In this area lesson, students find the area of irregular shapes with right angles. Students break down each irregular shape into multiple regular shapes in order to find the area. Students...

Students study how to calculate elapsed time. In this elapsed time lesson, they determine how to calculate the ending time of an event when they are given the starting time and the elapsed time. They participate in direct instruction,...

There is a lot to learn about fractions, and this is a fun way to do it! Individuals participate in a Cyberchase activity to describe a fraction in terms of sharing parts of a whole. They determine the meaning of the parts of a fraction,...

Students manipulate Goldfish crackers to explore subtraction and number sentences.

Students can turn the block area into a travel agency. In this early childhood problem solving lesson, students use creative-thinking and language skills as they design a play environment.

Looking for a different approach to triangle congruence criteria? Employ transformations to determine congruent triangles. Learners list the transformations required to map one triangle to the next. They learn to identify congruence...

How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...

Zero in on your pupils' understanding of solving quadratic equations. Spend time developing the purpose of the zero product property so that young mathematicians understand why the equations should be set equal to zero and how that...

Rational expressions are just fancy fractions! Pupils apply fractions concepts to rational expressions. They find equivalent expressions by simplifying rational expressions using factoring. They include limits to the domain of the...
