Working with numbers 1-10, beginning counters complete five exercises to help them hone their skills. They examine two sets of sports balls, circling the ones at various number positions. Next, they count a set of ladybugs, recording the...

After watching a video on how to read different types of scales, young mathematicians complete eight problems involving scales. From thermometers to number lines to rulers and clock, class members identify various numbers on scales.

Having problems with proportions? Then solve these proportion problems with an exercise that asks learners to first individually solve a set of problems involving ratios and proportional reasoning. Groups then discuss provided...

Get learners' minds rotating and reflecting while looking for symmetry. Pupils investigate figures to determine the number of lines of symmetry and if the figure has rotational symmetry. Classmates work together in groups to find out the...

Do I stand or do I sit? The class plays a dice game where they must decide to either continue to stand and play or sit down and keep their points. After the game, groups discuss individuals' strategies and see connections to the...

What type of quadrilateral is that? Discover the difference between the types of quadrilaterals. Small groups investigate types of quadrilaterals using geometry software to find their properties. To keep track of the different...

Sixth and seventh graders analyze smoking statistics. In this health lesson plan, learners look at the percentage of people who smoke from each race group. They create a bar graph and circle graph that displays this information. 

Third graders count, multiply, and color their way to success. Not only do they practice multiplying two by various numbers, they color in a table to fully understand the two-times table, as well as counting sets of two ears on different...

Approach addition with sets of objects to show scholars the operation visually. There are four sets of images here arranged as addends in an addition number sentence. Learners count them and color in the total in a final set. All answers...

What's the coordinate pair? There are 16 letters located on this grid, each marked by a point. Learners record the number pair for each. All of the coordinates are whole numbers. Consider extending this in a fun way by challenging pupils...

Here is a simple sorting activity which is appropriate for pre-k and kindergarten learners. Pupils sort each of four items into the correct group, then count the totals and write the numbers in the boxes provided. Along with being a good...

Practice the five times table with frogs! After a lesson on multiplying by five, have your third graders draw a line between a group of frogs and the product of the multiplication problem. The numbers go up to 50, which helps learners...

Challenge your class's time-telling skills with fifteen analog clocks, all with blank faces. They write the hands in the correct places, all with times to the nearest five minutes. An easy way to extend this assignment would be a group...

A simple real-world problem involving taxi cab fares is used to practice the multplicaiton and division of integers. How many of two different-sized taxis  are needed to transport 75 people to the airport? What is the least...

Somewhat of a puzzle, this problem gets pre-algebra preteens to write an expression representing a seating chart using triangle-shaped tables. This single task is an applicable lesson for meeting sixth grade Common Core math standards....

A real-world approach to common multiples asks learners to find different groups of flowers based on their multiples. Useable as a class activity or independent exercise, they will have to organize their thoughts to explain the totals of...

Why waste time teaching multiplication and division facts separately, when this resource allows you to cover both concepts at once. Displaying the fact families for all single-digit factors, these triangle shaped flash cards are a great...

There is more than one way to solve a multiplication problem, and many learners find that the lattice multiplication method can be a helpful one. Fourth graders take an initial formative assessment before working in groups of two or...

Can two lines intersect at more than one point? Using yarn, create two lines on the floor of the classroom to find out. Cooperative groups work through the process of solving systems of equations using task cards and three different...

After watching a brief video on addition and subtraction, young mathematicians are put to the test. Including 12 problems, individuals solve word problems to find the least number, total amount, and difference of numbers. 

Learners find the midpoint between two numbers, shade fractional amounts of rectangles as well as decimal amounts of rectangles, and explain their mathematical reasoning in words. The assessment is a great way to check for understanding...

Multiplication and division of decimals by whole numbers is the focus of these assessment worksheets. Learners solve equations by showing their work in order to arrive at the correct answer.

Ever wondered how many pieces of paper a binder clip can hold? Viewers of a short video are about to find out! Given measurement data for three different sized binder clips, learners must develop a method for figuring out how many pieces...

Classes explore different scenarios using manipulatives to learn about the difference between independent and dependent probability. Learners experiment with colored chips to model the two types of probabilities. To test their...
