Students examine Alaska's agriculture numbers from previous years. They answer questions based on Alaska's production levels.

Students participate in an on-line virtual field trip to the state of Alaska. In this U.S. Geography lesson, students research several Internet sites dealing with travel to Alaska and activities to participate in. Students create story...

In this geography worksheet, 3rd graders focus on the northeastern states of Alaska and Hawaii. Students complete 10 single digit addition problems and color each state the correct color according to the given key.

Learners explore the concept of univariate and bivariate data. In this univaritate and bivariate data lesson plan, pupils discuss the differences between univariate and bivariate data. They work sample problems where they must construct...

For this Alaska outline map worksheet, students examine political boundaries of the state and the placement its capital city as well as its major cities. This map is not labeled.

Students compare NASA satellite data observations with student surface measurements of snow cover and temperature. They practice data collection, data correlations, and making scientific predictions.

Students identify, model, and label simple fractions. They describe and define them as equal parts of a whole, a region and a set. Students use words to describe fractions. They use manipulatives to explore the many different fractions.

Students explore the concept of conditional probability and probability of simultaneous events. In this conditional probability and probability of simultaneous events lesson, students roll dice or use and applet to roll dice to determine...

Acquaint mathematicians to the concept of probability with a discussion about the results of a game. Then have them play a dice, card, spinner, or coin game and recording the number of wins vs. the number of tries on an interactive web...

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

Explore the concept of volume of prisms using an applet to perform the calculations. The link to the interactive applet is embedded into the lesson plan as well as a link to associated data sheets. Get your math class to the computer lab...

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Fifth graders examine the process of multiplication and the relationship between addition and multiplication. They observe the teacher model a variety of problems on the board, and identify properties of multiplication. Students...

Young scholars compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area lesson plan, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, young scholars use their computers to determine...
