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...

Second graders explore Egyptian culture, including mummification, and hieroglyphic writings. They create their own mummy case using paper and a variety of materials. Students use symmetry to create their mummy.

Learners explore the concept of polygons on a two-dimensional plane. They identify polygons in everyday life and draw different polygons according to their classification. Using a geoboard and geobands, they consrtuct polygons and even...

Pre-readers need to build a foundation of familiarity with letters. This visual matching worksheet has youngsters pair bees with flowers based on the lowercase letter inside each. They work with the letters t, j, d, i, p, and...

Before youngsters begin reading, they need a foundational familiarity with alphabet letters. This matching worksheet focuses on lowercase letters m, n, u, v, and w. Learners match letters on teddy bears with the same letter on hats by...

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Using an outline, learners write a poem. The poem is focused on highlighting their experiences. This is a great way to combine language arts and an exploration of self esteem.

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...

This is a teacher page for a lesson and does not include any materials to support the lesson. Students graph quadratic equations with a coefficient of one and create a table of values to graph a quadratic equation. They plot the values...

Students brainstorm lists of land uses, gather pictures of them, and create a collage. They research land uses in their communities by contacting local agencies. They make charts of the land use planning systems and their impact on...

Discover the difference between standard and non-standard units of measure with your class. They differentiate between rectangles and squares, read a book, measure a peer's height. They then discuss  measurement methods, make...

Students recognize different shapes and colors. When the music stops students should move to and stand on a shape. Ask students "who is standing by a square, circle," etc., and ask what color they are standing on.

Students recognize the short vowel a in written and spoken language. Through matching activities, they discriminate the short vowel /a/ from other vowel phonemes. Students associate the phoneme with its letter representation and identify...

Students create a binomial system of nomenclature for classifying organisms they encounter in a field trip to a natural history museum or from pictures in library books. They work in small groups to create accurate drawings and place...

Students use appropriate terminology to describe the instrumentation and style of a musical example. They identify common elements between musical styles and vocal styles.

In this polygons worksheet, students name the 6 different colored shapes, choose any 3 polygons to draw and color on a grid, while adding a right angled triangle and a rhombus.

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Seventh graders recognize the characteristics of isosceles triangles. In this isosceles triangle lesson, 7th graders use geoboards to create isosceles triangles. Students record results and explain why they have an isosceles triangle.

Second graders participate in Math-Eze activities to comprehend word problems. In this word problem lesson, 2nd graders recognize why a hexagon is the best shape for a beehive. Students calculate how far bees must travel to find 2 lbs....
