We are used to finding the area of a circle by plugging the radius into an equation. Here, learners are required to go further to find multiple areas and calculate the difference. They must detect a pattern in order to figure out the...

Taxi! Have your travelers figure out how far they can go in a taxi for $10.00. They must account for the mileage rate and tip in their calculation. They can set up a table or make an equation to solve for the exact mileage they can...

Learners explore linear functions concretely using tables of values in a cooperative task. The concept of the values of linear functions changing by equal differences over equal intervals of one is emphasized. Learners will discover...

Class members learn how to set up and maintain a personal budget through discussion, financial planning worksheets, and a brief PowerPoint presentation.

Kindergartners listen to a story read by their teacher, then use magnetic shape pieces to construct simple designes. They "build" their own house using pre-cut paper shapes. This age-appropriate lesson would be an excellent choice for...

Students create and analyze a weather-related data table and a thematic map based upon information provided.

Explore the world of fractions by using pattern blocks to show how different shapes can divide a hexagon. Elementary schoolers work in groups to complete these problems and to answer questions. Later, they work complete an independent...

Desert regions are hotter for multiple reasons; the lack of vegetation causes the sun's heat to go straight into the surface and the lack of moisture means none of the heat is being transferred into evaporation. This concept, and other...

A comprehensive resource gets fourth grade physical scientists making observations about the period of a pendulum and then applying knowledge to a playground swing. Through seven different stations, they will record observations and...

Third graders use tables to organize and display related pairs of numbers, such as the relationship of the number of insects to the total number of legs. They generate a table of related number pairs based on a real-life situation,...

Students sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, students create...

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Students create a search and rescue party. In this geometry lesson, students simulate a rescue operation using math. They calculate the time, rate and solve word problems related to the real world.

Students learn about artist Larry Schulte and view examples of his work. They create addition sentence for the first seven numbers of the fibonacci sequence and use unifix cubes to build that sentences. Students color and create three...

In this relations worksheet students solve eighteen problems related to relations, functions, and equations.  The first part of this worksheet is designer to be completed with a computer program.

Fifth graders explore mathematics functions. In this functions lesson, 5th graders explore 1 and 2-step functions involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students also practice solving problems that their...

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.

Fourth graders create an original math problem with a detailed solution key relative to their chosen career fields.

For this pattern worksheet, students count the number of images in each row and then write that number at the end of the row. All the images relate to The Three Bears story.

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 determine the vertex, y-intercept and direction of a parabola and write an explanation of how to graph a parabola. They collect and graph data using a calculator.

Tenth graders apply their knowledge of angles related to a circle, radii, secants, tangents and chords of a circle. They practice using formulas related to a circle. They also apply what has been practiced to real life situations.
