Students discover the vocabulary of math. They compare numbers using the symbols greater than (>) and less than (<) and use ordinal numbers to determine place or location. They use worksheets imbedded in this lesson to practice.

Students practice doubling the numbers one through five while viewing a projected computer activity using MathKeys software. They stamp numbers onto an activity sheet that corresponds to the number of objects on the screen and then write...

Divide fractions just like a model does. Pupils visualize the division of a fraction by a whole number by creating models. Scholars make the connection between dividing by a whole number and multiplication before practicing the skill...

How are systems related? Build on your pupils' previous knowledge of solving systems of equations by introducing systems of inequalities. Learners explore similarities between systems of equations and inequalities to make a strong...

Teach about properties properly. Individuals investigate the commutative and identity properties for both addition and multiplication. They see that the properties hold true for all values by using substitution to test out several examples.

Is the application of systems of equations giving your class headaches? Use this resource to build on your pupils' logic to lead them to building equations and using algebraic methods. The lesson begins with an exploration of...

Extend percent understandings to include percents less than one and greater than 100. A great lesson has pupils build upon their knowledge of percents from sixth grade. They convert between fractions, decimals, and percents that are less...

What better way to learn graphing inequalities than through discovering your own method! Class members use a discovery approach to finding solutions to inequalities by following steps that lead them through the process and...

Students solve linear inequalities. In this solving linear inequalities lesson, students solve one step inequalities algebraically. Students graph the solutions on a number line. Students compare the graphs of various inequalities such...

Young mathematicians study the relationship between skip counting and multiplication. They build on skip counting skills and examine arrays while studying multiplication. Resources are provided.

Learners use the Frayer model during problem solving. In this problem solving lesson, they examine multiple methods of data collection to solve real world problems. Resources are provided.

Walk the class through the steps of how to evaluate linear inequalities in one variable and graph the solution set. Define and discuss key vocabulary terms, then have individuals work problems of varying difficulty. Included are word...

M&M's are always a great manipulative to use when teaching math. In this graphing lesson plan, learners predict how many of each color of M & M's there are. They count up each color and plug the data into a graph using the...

Students write story problems which can only be solved with the application of multiplication facts. They write an extra fact that isn't needed to solve. When their partners do the problems, they must cross out the fact that they do need.

Students compare and contrast two routes selected for a virtual field trip. They create a data table of educational activities, lodging, and meal costs using Microsoft Excel software.

Students explore their counting skills. In this counting lesson, students group objects in sets of 10 to practice counting them. Students also practice graphing the sets of objects they count.  This lesson incorporates the...

Learners estimate, measure, compute, and create patterns using jelly beans. In small groups, they solve various calculations, place jelly beans into groups, invent a new flavor, create a pattern, and complete a worksheet.

Students analyze data from a virtual field trip to Michigan. They conduct Internet research on mileage and travel time between cities, calculate and compare fuel costs, and research and calculate lodging, activities, and meal costs.

In this regrouping in multiplication worksheet, students use the table for the 'New England Public Libraries' to find the products for each six problems. Students use regrouping to solve the multiplication problems.

Fourth graders complete a worksheet where they calculate costs of items in a school store by using multiplication. In this multiplication lesson plan, 4th graders find the total cost of all the supplies and the cost per item.
