Students calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students define nets, surface areas and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. They use the computer to create nets and analyze shapes.

Students read and discuss decomposers and how they affect the environment. In this decomposers lesson plan, students also discuss how engineers use decomposers to help the environment.

Students use base ten blocks to lead them in the concept of understanding multiplying numbers with decimals. In this multiplication of decimals lesson plan, students also use digital activities to help them with the multiplication.

Young scholars choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Students distinguish between circles, squares, and rectangles and various colors in which they utilize the KidPix program on the computer to create them. They alternate; allowing each student to have a turn constructing and coloring in...

Students investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Fifth graders use technology as assistance to collecting random data. Through the random data they will be able to explain the significance of getting a head or tail depending on what was previously landed on. They will then analyze the...

Sixth graders analyze an introductory lesson for Microsoft Excel. They go step by step through the creation of a basic spreadsheet and the use of simple formulas in a problem solving format.

Pupils write and illustrate a wish for the first gift of Christmas. In this Christmas lesson plan, students read the book The Polar Express and then write what they wish could be the first gift of Christmas.

Learners explore concepts of probability and independent events. They develop a formula for deviation percentage.

Middle schoolers use their color categorized jelly beans to find the range, mean, median and mode. They use their recorded data documenting how many jelly beans there are for each color in order to calculate the range, mean, median and...

Students begin the instructional activity by discovering that a fraction is one part of a whole. In groups, they practice reducting larger fractions into small fractions and discovering they are equal. They use blocks to identify the...

Students discuss elements of financial planning.  In this personal finance lesson plan, students practice filling out personal banking information.  Students conduct research using the Internet and a PowerPoint presentation to...

Students calculate the surface area and volume of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students create different scales and calculate the volume and area for each shape. They compare and contrast between the different scales and shapes.

Students investigate and measure using the metric and customary units. In this math instructional activity, students investigate which method is used most worldwide, the metric or the customary. They convert from unit to...

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of bread to...

Students identify the vertex and intercepts of a parabola. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph parabolas and factor quadratic equations. They perform transformation on the parabolas.

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

Young scholars examine how people grow and mature at different rates. They create a graph and a timeline to organize the data they collect.

Eighth graders go to one of a number of web sites (provided by the teacher in a hotlist) to find a car they would like to buy if they were old enough. They would then be provided with the necessary information to compute monthly payments...

Students plant sunflower seeds in plastic cups, and once germinated, these are exposed to different conditions of light levels and/or soil moisture contents. Students measure growth of the seedlings every few days using non-standard...
