Get scholars familiar with the fives multiplication facts using a hundreds chart and number sentences. They skip count by five on the chart, coloring in all numbers that are multiples of five. Do they see a pattern? Next, learners...

How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...

Fraction models are a great way to help scholars visualize this concept, and they focus on thirds with these practice problems. First, there are five shapes each segmented into three even sections. Learners color in one-third of each,...

Represent fractions visually using shape models. Scholars color in two sets of shapes to represent specific fractions: 2/3 and 3/4. The shapes are segmented into equivalent fractions for most of these, so scholars need to understand this...

Does writing the name of a color in a different colored ink affect one's ability to read it? Scholars design an experiment to answer this question. They collect the data, analyze the statistics, and draw a conclusion based on...

Working in pairs, young mathematicians will practice number identification with a game of tic-tac-toe. Supplies needed: two 3x3 grids with numbers 1-9 in random order, and two different colored crayons. Player 1 will choose and read a...

Math can be delicious with a fun smoothie worksheet! Kids count the number of fruits that go into a smoothie in an activity worksheet, draw the fruit in the blender, and complete the addition problem on the side. Each page increases in...

Math is fun with algebra tiles! Young mathematicians explore eight expressions involving the distributive property and use algebra tiles to expand simple expressions. The resource is perfect for both guided and independent practice.

Identify shapes based on their attributes. Second graders are tasked to color triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons specific colors. The one thing these shapes have in common? They are all polygons.

Test scholars' knowledge of addition facts with a festive worksheet that makes adding a two-person game. Pairs examine a grid of numbers to locate and color addition facts. Last person to color three squares wins! 

Learners make several models of the solar system to learn the positions of the planets in the solar system as well as relative distances and sizes. Creation of these models will help them identify the planets by size, shape, color,...

M&M's are always a great manipulative to use when teaching math. In this graphing lesson plan, learners predict how many of each color of M & M's there are. They count up each color and plug the data into a graph using the...

Establish 1:1 correspondence by counting students, first one gender, then the other. Give each child a colored cube (one color for boys, another for girls) and have small groups determine more or less and how many all together. As a...

One of these things is not like the others! Preschoolers identify which sock and glove is different from the rest, and draw a ring around the outlier. Then, they draw a sock and glove that are different from given pictures. Color the...

Put ribbons, rabbits, and shapes in order with a number sequence activity. Three different activities reinforce counting and number sequence, as kindergartners color particular items and identify the first, second, and third in various...

Those sneaky snakes are climbing up the trees - but they need someone to trace them! Preschoolers practice tracing curvy lines, and can color the snakes and trees when they're finished. A great way to practice tracing lines, and prepare...

Using a 100s chart or a number line with a pointer, work with your class to count up to 100 by ones and tens. As a part of daily instruction, prompt your kindergartners to chant count from 1 to 30. Move on to 1 to 50, and then from 1 to...

Help young mathematicians read and interpret numbers from 1 to 10 and sequence them correctly with this card game. Using a deck of cards and two to three classmates, have one player hand out ten cards to each gamer and then put the extra...

All shapes have certain defining attributes that set them apart from others. In order to understand this, young mathematicians look at examples and non-examples of triangles, rectangles, and squares, working as a whole class to create...

Explore geometry with your young mathematicians! First, have them color in different two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Then take them on a walk around the classroom. Can they identify different shapes using the target...

Prealgebrarians use colored chips, stickers, and pencils to explore the world of integers. They discover absolute value, compare positive and negative integers, and apply operations to them. A detailed procedure for the three-part...

Here is another State Quarter lesson. This one uses the Mississippi State Quarter. Pupils utilize beautifully-designed worksheets embedded in the plan, to practice calculating which combinations of flowers they can afford to buy. They...

This boating picture is missing a few things! Scholars practice common prepositions and counting as they add details to a scene. They follow specific directions by drawing two birds above the boat, three fish below it, and two ducks on...

Combine printing practice, shape recognition, and the color red with your kindergartners. They start by tracing the word red and writing it once or twice on their own. Then, they examine an image of flowers and color all the...
