Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. For this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

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.

Students will make many discoveries about how and why objects move. They will explore and manipulate the motion of objects and the forces required to control that motion (pushing, pulling, throwing, dropping, rolling, and so on). This...

Students gather (research) information on neuron structure and action potential. Students are guided to make inferences about the synapse and its relationship to neurotransmitter release and action. They are also guided to make...

Students calculate the costs for lodging and meals for a virtual field trip. They calculate the number of nights lodging needed for road and city travel and the number of meals needed, the costs for each, and input the data using...

Young scholars study tree leaves to complete the activity, In this tree leaf experiment instructional activity, students observe, measure, and sort tree leaves individually, in groups, and in relationship to the entire tree.

Students identify the factors that affect viscosity of substances. In this chemistry lesson plan, students define what viscosity is in their own words. They give real world applications of viscosity.

Students investigate the concepts that are related to finance and how it is used in the world. They take part in activities that are focused around the use of a spreadsheet while using a T-chart to simulate a ledger of credits and debits.

In this literacy worksheet, students find the words that are in the word search puzzle that focus upon the vocabulary that is from the theme of the sheet.

Young scholars convert recipes for tortillas. They calculate the amounts of ingredients as they convert recipes and write an explanation of the task to demonstrate their calculations. After reviewing their calculations, they demonstrate...

Fourth graders see how, when balls are dropped from the same height, mass and size affects the motion of the balls.

Young scholars explore mathematics by participating in a group activity. For this number value lesson, students identify the uses for decimals and how to best estimate whole numbers based on decimals and fractions. Young scholars...

Young scholars determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available...

Second graders define the term culture and are exposed to a variety of cultures from around the world. They read books, play Native American games, develop a class book that examines their own culture and, after examining currencies from...

Students complete a word problem to determine the cost of gasoline per mile of their virtual field trip. They determine the travel time and gasoline costs for two routes and record the information on a data sheet. They check their work...

Test your knowledge of the number properties. This challenging practice really puts you to the test. Assessment covers all number theory properties: associative, commutative, distributive, inverse, and identity.

A great opportunity for your students to practice their knowledge of the number properties with the card game. A quick way to help students learn.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart explores the properties of addition: order property, zero property, and the grouping property. It also uses manipulatives to show and practice each property.

The numbers in an addition number sentence (addends) can be added in any order and the sum remains the same.

This resource provides information about the commutative and associative properties of multiplication.

During this lesson plan students will listen to the story FISH EYES: A BOOK YOU CAN COUNT ON by Lois Ehlert and use concrete objects to explore the commutative property of addition. During this lesson plan students will be guided through...

The purpose of this task is for students to use the volume of a rectangular prism to see why you can multiply three numbers in any order you want and still get the same result. Aligns with 5.OA.A and 5.MD.C.5.

This lesson contains four rules on order of operations and several examples of each. It also allows you to work out practice problems.

Here is a nice resource for students and teachers about whole numbers and their basic properties. It provides links to information on place value, expanded form, and rounding numbers are just a few of the topics on this page.
