Word problems are full of information waiting to be deciphered. This animated video explains how to look for the important parts and how to translate those word cues into the correct signs. Go through a problem from start to finish and...

Just when a young mathematician starts to feel comfortable turning word problems into linear equations, shake things up and throw inequalities in the mix. This excellent, instructive presentation takes the steps for solving an...

Learners write story problems which can only be solved with the application of multiplication facts. They write an extra fact that isn't needed to solve. When their partners do the problems, they must cross out the fact that they do need.

Practice writing the same number sentence in a variety of ways. Learners will explore math cruise ship problems to write equivalent sentences. Then complete word problems which have been included in multiple languages.

In this multi-faceted introduction to pi, participants perform a bevy of pi-related activities. Ranging from measuring household items to singing pi songs and reading pi stories, this fun and non-intimidating resource serves to bring up...

Investigate perimeter and area of polygons! In this measurement lesson plan, learners use index cards to create rectangles and trace their hand to estimate its area and perimeter.

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance...

Here is a great lesson that incorporates movement into academic learning. Learners improve addition subtraction skills by using number lines and locomotor movement.

Use the power of a power property to solve exponential functions. The lesson refers to  differentiating between multiplying or adding exponents to find the value, and how to find the product of a power of a power.

Students practice counting, measuring, and predicting. In this early childhood lesson plan, students identify numbers 1-101, rhyming words, and repetitive words using Long Train by Sam Williams. Students build their recall skills by...

Students recognize math problems within stories.  In this consumer math lesson, students discover clues to solve math problems within written story problems.  Students complete the story problems on a worksheet.

Sixth graders work with equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents. In this equivalency lesson, 6th graders participate in a number of activities aimed at increasing their understanding of equivalent expressions. They form a human...

Students explore the tools of navigation.  In this shapes lesson, students navigate using direction cues to create a shape.  Students follow specific steps to create their shapes. Students use compasses to see the directions...

In this estimation worksheet, students read real word problems and mentally estimate answers. Individually, they complete eight multiple choice problems using compatible numbers or rounding to determine their answers. Students evaluate...

Students use mathematical operations to examine truck drivers and the math they use everyday. In this transportation math lesson, students read word problems that relate to transportation and the math needed to solve the word problems....

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Students recognize different shapes, such as squares and rectangles. They make a face using squares and the rest of a body using rectangles, using the drawing pencil in KidPix.

Young scholars solve multiplication and division problems using Unifix cubes. They explore multiplication and division through equal grouping of objects and sharing. Students discuss the task they completed and share how they completed...

Students study the measurement formulas for area and perimeter in real-life situations. In this area and perimeter lesson, students design a bed and arrange furniture in a hotel room using area and perimeter formulas for a 7 1/2 foot...

Fifth graders engage in problem solving. In this patterns instructional activity, 5th graders are presented with a problem regarding ranching that they solve as a class. Students watch a video about how patterns are used in the real...

In this math worksheet, 1st graders will focus on single digit addition. Using Halloween pictures as cues, students will complete six math problems.

Students describe a wide variety of patterns. They extend a wide variety of patterns. Students write rules for a wide variety of patterns. Students represent, analyze, and generalize a variety of patterns with tables, graphs, and words.

Ninth graders investigate the concept of probability. They use a clear objective that is a visual cue for what is required for the lesson. They apply the basic practices of probability to real life like situations.

The hour is nigh for your class to practice equivalency problems in the form of time-zone conversions. They write equations to describe elapsed time and apply problem solving strategies, including writing a plan, to solve the problems.
