Learners calculate the traveled speed and distance of a robot. In this geometry instructional activity, students use the distance formula to manipulate and use to solve for the required variable. They calculate answers...

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Third graders use pennies as manipulatives to solve simple division problems. They create division number sentences to correspond with each exercise. This is a good, hands-on way to teach the concept of division.

Students explore the concept of graph theory. In this graph theory activity, students participate in hands-on activities that enforce graph theory. Students manipulate graph applets on the internet. Students create a graphical model...

Students solve related addition and subtraction problems. In this addition and subtraction lesson, students use the book Ten Sly Piranhas by William Wise as the source of word problems for students to solve.

Students identify the different place values. For this algebra lesson, students represent decimal place values with manipulatives. They identify the correct place value using commas and mathematical reasoning.

Creative problem solving is fun and helps kids conceptualize content. They use grid paper, manilla paper, and markers to cut, draw, and show given double-digit numbers as many ways as they can.

Young scholars investigate the creation of three dimensional drawings. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and complete orthographic drawings. They Cabri software to manipulate and move the drawings around.

Students investigate the concept of manipulating polynomials. They go through the process of using algebra tiles in order to practice grouping of like terms and model the solving process.

Young scholars explore the concept of polyhedra. In this polyhedra instructional activity, students use the Internet to manipulate virtual polyhedra models. Young scholars create polyhedra models from straws, toothpicks, cardboard,...

Young scholars review the concepts on money. In this consumer math lesson, students review the vocabulary and value of each coin. Young scholars are shown coins and identify each one's name and value. Students take an included test on...

First graders identify a whole and the fractions 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 using pizza. This is a very nice lesson, in that not only do students practice their fractions, they also get to eat the pizza at the end of the lesson!

First graders practice manipulating shapes into different locations. They see that even though shapes may look different when they are moved into different locations, the shape remains the same with the same properties. They make...

Students manipulate shapes to find multiple lines of symmetry. They use color to visualize the lines of symmetry.

Second graders add two digit numbers with manipulatives. In this addition lesson plan, 2nd graders are given blocks to add numbers together.

Learners measure the area using feet and yard. In this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

First graders listen to a story, manipulate flannel board figures, and cut soft cookies and paper plates into equal parts.

Fifth graders evaluate data from a circle graph that compares time spent on various activities. They use the computer to manipulate their own data as they compare, examine, create and evaluate data using circle graphs.

Students act out computation problems. In this addition and subtraction lesson plan, students act out an addition story and write an addition sentence for it. Students continue this activity and answer the provided questions.

Students name numbers to 30, use the number keys on the computer, use manipulatives to add, and add numbers in any order. In this addition lesson plan, students learn the language of sum, equals, and a plus sign.

Scholars explore graphing. They will listen to and sing "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and estimate how many gifts were mentioned in the song. Then complete a data chart representing each gift given in the song. They also construct...

Students make multiplication squares. For this math lesson, students review their multiplication facts and multiplication strategies. Students are introduced to multiplication squares when multiplying a number by itself.

First graders practice number identification by reading a story in class. In this number sense lesson, 1st graders read the story A Wish for Wings that Work and identify objects within the book's photographs. Students count the number of...

Fifth graders solve word problems. In this math lesson, 5th graders read the word problem and determine what is being asked. Students solve the problem and explain how they reached their solution.
