Explore mathematics by analyzing images. As they view pictures on the SMART Board, individuals must write corresponding algebraic equations. They utilize models to visualize the math expressions.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can put food on the table and pay the bills. The first of a five-instructional activity unit teaches pupils about the unemployment rate in 1963 and its relationship with the March on Washington. They...

A cross-curricular resource teaches and reinforces mathematical concepts with several activities that use parts of a newspaper. Scholars use scavenger hunts to find the different ways math is used in the paper along with using data...

Students explore how mathematical data is used to summarize and illustrate everyday life. They apply mathematical concepts and skills to analyze data. Students conduct a five question survey of 50 people or more and graph the data.

Students explore number sense by completing a statistical analysis game in class. In this data graphing lesson plan, students utilize visual references such as colored cubes and tiles to map out the results of an experiment outcome such...

Fourth graders collect data, graph their data, and then make predictions based upon their findings. They's interest is maintained by the interesting way the data is collected. The data collection experiment is from the psychology work of...

In this scatter plots worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they use the table shown to model the relation with a scatter plot and trend line and to predict the value of a variable when given the other...

In this least squares worksheet, students solve 3 different problems that include determining the least squares of equations. First, they use the data given in the table to write out the normal equations a system of 2 equations in 2...

Fifth graders practice using the scientific method by observing and creating mold.  In this bacteria lesson, 5th graders experiment creating their own mold and fungus using petri dishes and oatmeal.  Students create an...

In this physics worksheet, students model the position, velocity and acceleration using mathematical formulas and a computer program. Then they interpret the parameters in each of the models. Students also complete the experiment and...

Young scholars discover soil and Earth movement by experimenting in class.  For this Earth Science lesson, students utilize a stream table, soil, graduated cylinder and water to create a re-enactment of a landslide.  Young...

Fourth graders study about sound waves and how they behave in various media. They create a soundproofed container. They explain that velocity describes a change in distance over time.

Students review the Madeline Hunter Direct Instruction Model. They incorporate objectives, standards, anticipatory set and modeling. Students use guided practice/monitoring and closure daily.

Young scholars investigate Newton's Second Law of Motion as they predict the effect of a payload on the amount of energy needed to lift a rocket vertically. The constraints of the weight of the equipment carried to Mars is compared to...
