Fifth graders listen to a story about multiplication and play a multiplication game with counters. In this multiplication lesson plan, 5th graders review all four operations and practice multiplication problems.

Pupils investigate triangles and their relationship to each other. In this geometry lesson, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. They differentiate between right, acute, straight and oblique...

In this stability of equilibrium values worksheet, students explore equilibrium solutions and classify them as asymptotically stable or not asymptotically stable. They justify their reasoning. This four-page worksheet contains five...

Fourth graders describe weather data using the mean, median and mode. In this mean, median and mode lesson, 4th graders understand how to calculate data using mean, median and mode and why they would use each one.

Learners calculate the traveled speed and distance of a robot. In this geometry lesson, students use the distance formula to manipulate and use to solve for the required variable. They calculate answers where two variables are...

Students describe the difference between an estimate and a guess. They create reasonable estimates based on observation and hands-on activities. They synthesize estimated based on interaction with online activities.

Students build their own lemonade stand. In this problem solving lesson, students measure the materials needed to build a stand and make lemonade. They find the cost of producing the lemonade and the profit they will make. 

Student are assigned one of the sections on whole numbers. After reviewing the content, they teach their assigned sections to other class mates. They publish their findings on a PowerPoint slide show to use when they teach their section.

Students practice multiplying decimals and/or mixed numbers, explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers, and practice predicting the effects of multiplying a number by a decimal or mixed number.

Students define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional...

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.
