Students untie knots and relate it to math. In this algebra lesson, students explore the history of knot tying. The tie their own knots and untie the knots using ropes.

Students graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. For this algebra lesson, students identify the slope as being positive,negative or undefined. They differentiate between different quadrants on a coordinate plane.

Students match sets of buttons to complete subtraction problems. For this subtraction lesson plan, students answer the questions "how many more/less" and make bar graphs by counting up the buttons they are wearing.

Students complete subtraction problems where they use goldfish crackers as their manipulatives in the problem. For this subtraction lesson plan, students use words and pictures to also show their problems.

Pupils build different shapes using sketches. For this geometry lesson, students explore measurements and units as they build and create models of buildings. They use SketchUp to create and manipulate shapes.

Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

Third graders name different kinds of shapes and then discuss what they know about them an what they would like to learn using a K-W-L chart whole group. They listen to the book, THE GREEDY TRIANGLE and then retell it to the class. They...
