Students create a tally chart. In this math and health lesson, students discuss healthy foods and create a tally chart showing the number of students who like to eat healthy foods.

Students collect data. In this math lesson, students collect data about recyclable materials. Students develop a plan that will help the environment. Recycling plastic containers is discussed.

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

Learners learn about sorting and classifying objects by size while reading Eric Carle's "The Grouchy Ladybug". In this sorting and classifying instructional activity, students first listen to and interact with the story. They then look...

First graders sort toys by various attributes. They, in groups, sort toy vehicles by color, size etc. and then explain how they chose to group the toys. They write, draw or dictate an explanation of their sorting methods.

Students use a spreadsheet to investigate data. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They explain properties of a linear equation both algebraically and orally.

Students explore the concept of origami. In this origami lesson, students construct picture frames out of paper. Students find the midpoint of the paper and determine the fractional area of the paper as it is folded.

Third graders, in groups, practice multiplication by putting five multiplication problems on white scales, then the answers on florescent colored scales.

First graders complete a variety of experiments with solids, liquids and gases. They read books about matter, identify the characteristics of solids, liquids and gases and the sort and classify a variety of matter. Students make...

Students work in pairs, to make a square on the geoboards with a rubber band (or draw one on the dot paper). It can be any size and in any location and share their answers with the class.

Budding mathematicians investigate how to write number sentences using the Roll-the-Dice tool in "Kid Pix". They correlate the dots on the dice to numbers and then learn to use the addition and equal symbols to write number sentences....

Scale up your lessons with a performance task. Young data analysts work through an assessment task on scaled bar graphs. They answer questions about a given scaled bar graph on favorite colors, analyze a bar graph to see if it matches...

Students will construct a golden section and a golden rectangle and study their characteristics and connections with the Fibonacci series. They import pictures from the internet and download them into the Sketchpad. Using their "golden"...

Students identify and examine various Lego building materials. They discover how to measure Lego blocks and cut out and paste pictures of the Legos on the Engineer's Parts List sheet.

Young scholars complete time and distance problems. Using appropriate problem solving strategies, students determine when a helicopter will catch a cruise ship. Young scholars write a summary of their solution process. They complete a...

Students complete a chart (KWL) as a pre-assessment, study the history of tessellations (tilings), investigate the properties of tessellations, and make and evaluate photographs of "found tessellations" for a PowerPoint/HyperStudio...

Students use the properties of multiplication to solve problems. They recall the basic multiplication facts as well as write and solve problems that involve whole numbers.

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...

Middle schoolers identify how waves transfer energy without transferring matter. They contrast transverse and compressional waves and relate wave speed, wavelength, amplitude and frequency. Lesson includes PowerPoint presentation.

Young scholars explore multiplication concepts.  In this multiplication instructional activity, students define "array" and draw several arrays to represent multiplication number sentences.  Young scholars construct arrays on...

Second graders count by 5's to 100. In this math lesson conducted on the 100th day of school, 2nd graders use picture stamps in the KidPix program to count by 5's and get to 100.

Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. For this early elementary math lesson, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on KidPix.

Using the computer and the Paint program, Students explore the different tools available in the paint program, and then create a picture showing two sets of pictures and an equation.

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.
