Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

Young scholars solve problems using the Fibonacci Patterns. In this geometry lesson, students trackthe growing rate of a rabbit population. They collect the data and graph their results. They make predictions based on their results.

Learners study patterns. In this symmetry in nature lesson, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.

Students study the Manduca bug and its growth data. They look for patterns and compare their own growth rate to that of the Manduca.

Students explore the concepts of mean, median, and mode. They develop an understanding and familiarity with these concepts. Students explore mean and median in an efficient way. Students explore three different measures of center.

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Fifth graders investigate and practice the foundational math skill of division. They make cognitive connections to how it is related to multiplication. Independent practice is done using the computer program provided by Houghton Mifflin

Students engage in hands-on activities and observe videos to develop fraction skills. In one activity, they create "paper pizzas" complete with original toppings. By swapping pieces, students display whole and unique-looking pizzas.

In this addition and subtraction pattern enrichment worksheet, 2nd graders follow the given rule to fill in the pattern boxes. They examine the patterns as they add and subtract with two digit numbers, and write a sentence telling what...

Pupils practice math, language, and music skills. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students learn the song "Roll Over!" practicing repeating word patterns and subtraction skills. Pupils improvise in the song by adding various...

Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit program.

Sixth graders solve transportation themed word problems. In this word problem lesson, 6th graders solve transportation themed word problems using critical thinking skills.

Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

Here are 17 various forms of problems that range from matching equivalent expressions to word problems. Included are problems for substutiing values into expressions and using the order of operations, simplifying algebraic expressions,...

Review area, perimeter and volume using this instructional activity. After reviewing key vocabulary relating to these concepts and answering story problems, learners compute the perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of five storage...

Help your class look for patterns as they create their own arithmetic and geometric sequences. Engage learners with an introductory discussion on sequences and use the applet to let them explore how sequences are formed. Teachers might...

What do you do with a difficult-to-factor quadratic expression? This lesson provides the answer. Pupils learn a grouping strategy to help factor trinomials. When guess and check seems too tedious, this method is the "works every...

Students practice their mathematics and mapping skills using examples from honey bee biology. Discuss why the colonies were found in this pattern. They examine food and water in the area, and how many humans live in the area where...

Use patterns to practice basic addition; pupils count by two, starting from eight and counting on to 20. They record the five numbers missing from the sequence. Below, the worksheet walks learners through the process...

Here are two addition-related exercises. However, bear in mind, the explanations are featured below each of them. Use this as an all-class warm up, revealing the explanations if and when you see fit. First, examine the four sets of...

You class will read Cucumber Soup by Vickie Leigh Krudwig as an anticipatory set for this lesson on ratios. They make models of the insects in the story and then use them as a source of data for this ratio and proportion lesson. This...

Find the sequence of an equation with your math super stars. They differentiate between arithmetic and geometric sequences and then calculate the sum of finite and infinite sequences.

Third graders use base-ten blocks to find products of two-digits by one-digit by making a model of the problem. They complete a worksheet by multiplying 2-digits by 1-digit with regrouping. They may use the base-ten blocks if needed.

Kindergarteners arrange manipulatives or everyday objects in groups of one through five. They identify groups seen in pictures of nature and compare same numbers of different objects.
