Second graders worked on telling time to the hour and half hour earlier in the year. Now they will apply their understanding of counting by 5s to telling time to the five minute interval.

This lesson helps children make a connection between the digital and analog clock. In general, the number system is based on units of ten which can sometimes make it difficult for children to realize that time is based on cycles of...

After watching the video clip of the Hershey's plant, students will use grid paper to investigate multiplication as repeated addition. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through the AMSTI project.

Let's take it from the top! This week's adventure, Operation: Lights, Camera, Action!, takes children to a movie set where they work behind-the-scenes and explore different kinds of jobs such as production assistant (keeps track of the...

This lesson solidifies students' understanding of time to the hour (while enriching with basic geography content) and continues to build back up to 3rd grade goal of time to the minute.

A fruit salad consists of blueberries, raspberries, grapes, and cherries. The fruit salad has a total of 280 pieces of fruit. There are twice as many raspberries as blueberries, three times as many grapes as cherries, and four times as...

Sixth graders will be able to see the relationship between theoretical probability and experimental probability by computing both at the same time.

In this task, students investigate why total solar eclipses are rare. They will learn that, in addition to requiring the positioning of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, the Moon can only completely block out the Sun when it is closest to the...

In order to determine how effective solar panels would be at various times of the year, it is important to know the amount of daylight at a given location. Students are asked to find an appropriate function that serves as a mathematical...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...

In this task, learners learn about exponential decay by examining the amount of Carbon-14 left in a preserved plant with the passage of time after the plant has died. This provides a simple introduction to Carbon-14 dating but the actual...

We all use technology in different ways at different times. This activity is a fun way to learn more about these patterns within the children and families associated with our classroom!

Students will listen to the book What Time is it Mr. Crocodile? by Judy Sierra. The students will read and use Mr. Crocodile's schedule to answer questions as well as read analog and digital clocks to the hour.This lesson plan was...

Members of the seventh grade math group have nominated a member of their group for class president. Every student in seventh grade will cast a vote. There are only 2 candidates in the race, so a candidate must receive at least 50% of the...

In this activity, students investigate the impact of tariffs on businesses and consumers during the 1880s by looking at a political cartoon, solving a short math problem, and comparing protectionism between time periods. They then...

Students will use skip counting to see how many wheels visit the school during specified times in one day. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science University, GEMS-U Project.
