Sixth graders determine appropriate scales when graphing data. In this graphing instructional activity, 6th graders use an the applet "Graph It" to determine what is an appropriate scale for their data.

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.

Students multiply by one-digit whole numbers.

Young scholars estimate and measure triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the relationship between three sides and a triangle. They use the inequality theorem to decide if a triangle will be formed or not.

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students develop an understanding of probability by pulling marbles out of a bag and recording the data. Students use the recording sheet to discuss the results of...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the instructional...

In this algebra learning exercise, students create arguments using conjectures. They identify the sequence and the pattern and formula. They solve products and prove sum of integers. There are 8 questions.

Students use different color items to sort by color and different attributes of the manipulatives given to them. In this sorting lesson plan, students also write a journal entry or draw a picture of their activity.

Third graders identify the different types of lines. They name five new facts about the quilts studied, the women, and community of Gee's Bend and begin to stitch the pieces of the Quilt top together. When finished student put all their...

A teacher guided lesson on perfect squares and factoring. They discuss perfect squares, observe the expansion steps for finding the product, and practice solving problems. They complete a worksheet on perfect squares and factoring.

Fifth and sixth graders use food and candy to help them represent division of fractions and develop algorithms to solve fraction problems. They discuss dividing whole numbers by fractions. Pupils use sticks and chocolate bars to...

Young scholars explore number patterns and relationships while being introduced to the calculator at the same time.

Students explore the concept of geometric patterns. They use a review of patterns with numbers for a warm-up activity.Then the teacher does examples with the students attempting to find the pattern.

In this shape and size pattern worksheet, students determine the patterns in each set and find the shape that comes next or the missing shape.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Young scholars practice counting, reading, and writing the numbers 0 through 5. In this basic counting lesson, students review a counting book, use macaroni as a manipulative, and learn a song as a means to learn and practice writing and...

Young scholars create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base...

Second graders explore a bag of mixed pattern blocks. As a class they discuss different attributes of these shapes. In this math lesson, 2nd graders search to find shapes that are similar by placing shapes on top of one another to...

Second graders find the lines of symmetry in pattern blocks and alphabet letters. In this symmetry activity, 2nd graders discuss what symmetry is, view examples of lines of symmetry and apply what they have learned by finding the line of...

Students solve problems using various strategies. In this problem solving lesson, students read the book Swimmy by Leo Lionni. Students make fish swimming patterns, measure how many goldfish crackers it takes to make a handprint and...

Young scholars explore the relationship between the amount of weight that can be supported by a spaghetti bridge, the thickness of the bridge, and the length of the bridge to determine the algebraic equation that best represents that...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

In this patterns worksheet, 3rd graders, working with a partner, look at 6 groups of numbers, one partner covers one group of numbers, the other partner writes down the numbers they remember and together they look for a pattern in each...

Students find the missing cookies. In this language arts lesson, students solve the mystery of who is taking the cookies from the cookie jar. Students are read several books with the same mystery of cookies being taken from the jar.
