Using the touch math system, learners engage in activities to practice adding numbers. While the lesson is laid out in an explicit manner, there isn't a guide explaining the touch math system.

A basic set-up leads to a surprisingly complex analysis in this variation on the question of surrounding a central circle with a ring of touching circles. Useful for putting trigonometric functions in a physical context, as well as...

Scholars demonstrate their proficiency in subtracting one-digit numbers and color squares a specific color depending on whether their resulting values are one, two, or three. A completed practice page shows a festive four-leaf clover!

Students use a dictionary to gather appropriate information for writing simple definitions. They recognize prefixes that relate to numbers, such as mono-, bi-, and tri-. Pupils use their creative abilities to extrapolate new words to...

This lesson focuses on unit conversion, proportions, ratios, exponents, and the metric system. Discuss measurement with your math class and demonstrate how to solve several health-science word problems. Give learners a chance to visit an...

Review the 4/4 and 2/4 time signatures in music with a helpful music theory lesson plan. Young musicians experiment with electronic sounds and create their own musical performance using instruments made from materials found in the...

When they do, they learn. Using this resource, young mathematicians learn about platonic solids by actually building, touching, and examining the shapes. They connect their observations about the shapes to Euler's formula.

Prime and composite numbers are the focus of this mathematics instructional activity. In it, learners practice techniques for identifying these two types of numbers. They utilize the Inspiration program to complete a task that is clearly...

Discover how to play the game of dominoes using mental math skills to solve equations that earn points. Pupils become fast critical thinkers in determining which unknown addend tally up points in their favor.

Students measure the amount of surface tension using a balance scale after a classroom demonstration students diagram the appearance of several liquids and label them.

This dog is apparently quite upset that he is separated from his bone; can your learners use their counting skills to guide him back to it? The hundreds chart just took a fun twist! Scholars start at one on the bottom of the...

Young scholars participate in a instructional activity that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They...

Learners count and keep track of objects using one-to-one correspondence. By moving, touching and pointing to objects they organize counting to determine the number in a set accurately. This helps students to practice the skill of...

Second graders describe and adopt behaviors for health and safety. They explore what germs are and how they can make you sick. Through graphing activities, 2nd graders examine the way germs travel and what they can do to prevent the...

Fifth graders discuss the importance of proper hygiene. After watching their teacher peel potatoes, they discuss why she was wearing rubber gloves. They demonstrate how to wash their hands properly and why one should never touch...

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.

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

Students sort gummy bears, count gummy bears, and evaluate and record their favorite colors of gummy bears.

Third and fourth graders engage in a game using visual symbols, auditory responses and tactile stimuli to further their understanding of subtraction. A worksheet imbedded in this plan explains how to teach the game.

Here is a measurement instructional activity focusing on length. Learners use their feet as the unit of measurement for furniture in the classroom and at home, and sketch the pieces of furniture they measured.

Students construct tangram pieces. Then they make observations and explore patterns with the pieces.

Students discover that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. They are shown how a triangle is formed using three strips such as that the triangle is seen inside the strips.

First graders illustrate a math problem with counters while reading story books, such as Margie Burton's "Add the Animals". They demonstrate a positive learning attitude toward mathematics and communicate clearly in oral, artistic,...

Students explore and complete a variety of activities demonstration probability. They make observations about the results of the activities. Students complete and discuss conditional probability. Also, students draw conclusions about...
