Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

Fourth graders use pattern blocks and fraction identification cards to create and identify fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, 4th graders identify fractions in a pizza, and make fractions with markers.

How many steps do you need to subtract fractions with common denominators? Thirty problems await your kids, all with outlined steps for easy solving. Some fractions need to be reduced, while others will be solved after one step. An...

Using a Smart Board, or a plain ol' white board or chalkboard, the teacher pulls up a grid and demonstrates how squares and rectangles can be divided up into equal parts. The class will get their own graph paper to draw shapes and divide...

Hooray for chocolate chip cookies! Ask your mathematicians to triple a chocolate chip cookie recipe and then reduce the recipe by one-fourth. Your class may need two days to complete, tripling the recipe the first day and reducing the...

Reinforce the concept of comparing fractions with a hands-on, two-player game that calls for a visual model, score board, and dice. Players roll dice to acquire their given fraction, create the fraction using fraction tiles, then...

Second graders count by 5's to 100. In this math lesson conducted on the 100th day of school, 2nd graders use picture stamps in the KidPix program to count by 5's and get to 100.

Students solve problems by discovering the eigenvalues that satisfy design questions. They explain how relaxing a small angle approximation can change the solution. Students apply the numerical model of pendulumm motion to solve the...

Second graders use numerical data about Texas to write and solve real-life problems involving addition and subtraction (or multiplication and division). They work in pairs to choose three numerical facts about Texas to use to make up...

Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. For this early elementary math lesson, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on KidPix.

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Students explore modular arithmetic involving base eight. They participate in an activity where society functions around the numbers one through eight. Students explain how life will operate with only these numbers.

Sixth graders practice translating verbal expressions into algebraic expressions. In this introductory algebra lesson, 6th graders practice writing written/verbal sentences into algebraic expressions and vice versa. Students also review...

Learners participate in guessing their partners' hidden Lego pieces from their verbal clues. They work in partners to accomplish their goals. They are meeting a variety of math standards by completing this lesson.

The student will practice writing ratios as fractions, using poultry-related illustrations as visual representations of the problems.1. Review the definition of a ratio and how to write ratios as fractions. If possible, use groups of...

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Students represent equivalent amounts using concrete materials, number symbols, and number words.

Students play a game called Money Matters using cut out representatives of pennies, nickels, and dimes.
