It's time for lunch! In this week-long adventure, children will explore numbers and counting in the context of healthy eating. They will learn about the five food groups and create a healthy lunch using foods from each food group. Each...

In order to pull small groups during math instruction, the rest of the students need engaging activities that they can complete independently. These centers allow students to practice a variety of math skills including measurement.

This activity will test how quickly learners can count objects. The teacher will assemble a variety of groups of objects in a few different forms (examples included). Students will race against the clock to sort the groups of objects...

Students will practice counting with this small group activity - great for math stations! The teacher will pre-fill goodie bags with counting objects. Students count the objects, record the number on the post-it note and stick the...

This is a culmination activity used after students have studied Bernoulli's Principle as part of a unit on forces and fluids. Students will use the Internet, textbooks, library resources and their cooperative learning group to design...

This is a good small group/pairs activity to practice counting. Each student grabs two handfuls of counters and counts them. The student then draws and records the quantity on a student-recording sheet (example included). Student...

Students research and create a brochure project on an endangered species of their choice integrating aspects of math, science, social studies, art, reading and writing. This project allows the students to make connections across the...

In this lesson, the students will be experimenting to show how light shines in a straight line. They will also be experimenting to see how light reflects using mirrors. The students will be working in cooperative learning groups to carry...
