Students learn about sorting and classifying objects by size while reading Eric Carle's "The Grouchy Ladybug". In this sorting and classifying lesson plan, students first listen to and interact with the story. They then look at cut-outs...

Learners study the relationship between circumference and diameter to come up with Pi. "In this pi lesson, students measure, record and find the ratio "circumference/diameter" and their average which is an approximation of pi.

Students create a macaroni necklace based on a pattern given them by the instructor. In this reinforcement lesson, students are given a complex pattern and using a letter key. They must recreate the patten using colored macaroni strung...

Fourth graders use two activities to draw four different conic sections. One activity is of a physical nature and one is traditional paper and pencil.

Students explore with quadrilaterals.  In this roping quadrilaterals lesson, students work in cooperative groups to play the game, "Question, please!" in order to identify, describe, compare and classify quadrilaterals....

Students take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

Students study stream speed.  For this stream speed lesson students complete an activity and formulate an opinion and study its effects.

Sixth graders sketch their own kites by creating a scale drawing of an original design.  In this designing kites lesson, 6th graders draw a rough sketch, then accurately draw their design on large paper with a ruler, measuring...

When van Leeuwenhoek saw cells and single-celled organisms for the first time, he knew these small things were a big deal! Share his discoveries with young learners through a narrated video, model-building activity, and scale study....

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

The best way to understand shapes is to make them. Young geometers explore basic shapes through a variety of gross motor and fine motor activities. Shape sorting, singing songs about shapes, and eating shape snacks are just a few of the...

In this geometry worksheet, young scholars define important vocabulary dealing with circles. They measure cricles to the nearest degree. There are 11 word problems to be solved.

Fourth graders investigate measurement of linear and curved surfaces. For this math lesson, 4th graders discuss how to measure curved surfaces and work with a partner to measure various curved surfaces.

Young scholars explore trees. In this math lesson, students identify the basic parts of trees. Young scholars create a model of a tree and label the parts.

Students design and construct a suspension bridge. Math is used to compare the actual measurements of the bridge to the student's version.

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Learners engage in a lesson which takes something constructed by the class, that would be normally classified as just sound, then work together to make what can be perceived to be music. Students construct a basic stringed instrument...

Baseball is an American pastime, super fun to play, and can be made accessible to learners with visual impairments. Instead of taking to the ball field, your class can learn the rules of the game by playing a small three-dimensional...

Turn your students into flocks of migratory birds for this fun lesson on animal migration. Prior to the activity, the teacher creates four different migration routes in the classroom or any available open space, labeling nesting...

Groups simulate an orbit using a piece of string and a water balloon. Individuals spin in a circular path and calculate the balloon's velocity when the clothes pin can no longer hold onto the balloon.

Learners compare estimated lengths with actual lengths.

Students investigate the properties and idea of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different parts of a right triangle and relate it to the Pythagorean Theorem. They do a robotic experiment to...

Students investigate the math concept of Pi (specifically, what pi is, the significance and how it is used in the real world). This is a hands on instructional activity in which the students actively participate with their...
