Second graders worked on telling time to the hour and half hour earlier in the year. Now they will apply their understanding of counting by 5s to telling time to the five minute interval.

After watching the video clip of the Hershey's plant, students will use grid paper to investigate multiplication as repeated addition. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through the AMSTI project.

Let's take it from the top! This week's adventure, Operation: Lights, Camera, Action!, takes children to a movie set where they work behind-the-scenes and explore different kinds of jobs such as production assistant (keeps track of the...

This lesson solidifies students' understanding of time to the hour (while enriching with basic geography content) and continues to build back up to 3rd grade goal of time to the minute.

A fruit salad consists of blueberries, raspberries, grapes, and cherries. The fruit salad has a total of 280 pieces of fruit. There are twice as many raspberries as blueberries, three times as many grapes as cherries, and four times as...

In this task, 6th graders are presented with a large square divided into 9 squares and the center square is then removed. They are asked to find the area of the 8 remaining squares. Each smaller square is divided in the same way and the...

This problem presents a wedding reception scenario. The bride is creating centerpieces for the tables and must calculate how many marbles she needs to partly fill the vases and stay within her budget at the same time. Aligns with G-GMD.A.3.

In this task, students investigate why total solar eclipses are rare. They will learn that, in addition to requiring the positioning of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, the Moon can only completely block out the Sun when it is closest to the...

In order to determine how effective solar panels would be at various times of the year, it is important to know the amount of daylight at a given location. Students are asked to find an appropriate function that serves as a mathematical...

This task provides a real-world context for examining the power of exponential growth and decay. Young scholars experiment, at the macro level, using scotch tape to pull a chip of graphite apart into two pieces. They are asked to find...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...

This task asks learners to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This second...

For this task on exponential decay, students calculate what the amount of Carbon 14 left in a preserved plant will be as time passes and when one microgram will be all that is left. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.c.

We all use technology in different ways at different times. This activity is a fun way to learn more about these patterns within the children and families associated with our classroom!

It's time to stand in the spotlight! During this Afterschool Adventure, children will learn about and practice a variety of math skills as they gather information about their favorite subject-themselves! Children will start out by...

In this activity, students investigate the impact of tariffs on businesses and consumers during the 1880s by looking at a political cartoon, solving a short math problem, and comparing protectionism between time periods. They then...
