Third graders complete a worksheet.  For this fractions lesson, 3rd graders review fraction vocabulary, use the SmartBoard to divide fractions and complete stations where they work with fractional parts of a whole.

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume, learn the terminology used with surface area and volume and have experimented with the surface area and volume of different prisms.

First graders receive a can of play dough and form it into numbers to make addition problems. They also learn the proper format for an addition sentence from left to right. This is a great hands-on math lesson for young learners.

Learners examine a chart that lists the main characteristics of polygons and 3 dimensional figures. They make examples of the polygons and figures using pretzels and gum drops showing how the gum drops are vertices and the pretzels are...

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

Learners explore angles and their use in Geometry. Students investigate three different kinds of angles: obtuse, acute, and right angles through an online activity. They identify pairs of angles with special relationships: vertical,...

Students examine functions and function notation. They use computer activities to discover how to graph functions, and conduct a vertical line test. Students describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Young scholars practice adding polynomials using algebra tiles. Students view a PowerPoint presentation in which they are introduced to the concept of modeling polynomials using a scaled down version of algebra tiles. Young scholars...

Learners use Excel spreadsheets to organize purchases, discounts, sales prices, and sales tax. Students follow step by step instructions and enter formulas as well as use the auto sum feature to calculate required calculations.

Learners investigate relations in this algebra lesson. They graph the set of ordered pairs that determine a relation. Using a TI-83 Plus, your learners will enter the coordinates in a list, create a scatter plot, and manipulate the...

Students classify angles. In this angles lesson plan, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a...

Students make a quilt. For this geometry lesson, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Students explore designs with triangles and squares and then make their own...

Second graders examine the relationship between addition and subtraction. For this number sense lesson, 2nd graders practice their computation skills and use various strategies (including manipulatives and calculators)  to...

Students identify geometric patterns in quilts. In this geometry lesson, students view various types of quilts and identify the geometric shapes. Students construct one hundred patch paper quilts using geometric shapes.

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students analyze integers using hands on manipulative. They solve problems of addition and subtractions using their signs correctly. They play a game of cards to reinforce the...

Students define properties of fractions and solve for them. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite fractions from mixed numbers to improper fractions. They reduce fractions using the GCF and convert the denominators correctly when...

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry activity, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects and...

Students use expanded notation. In this mathematics lesson, students determine the place value of a digit within a whole number. Students use manipulatives, words, and symbols to represent whole numbers.

Second graders use a hands-on activity and a data chart to explain the certainty, probability, or impossibility of drawing a particular color of marble from a bag. This lesson comes with an excellent website, and many good worksheets...

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper, pencil and technology.

Young scholars construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Young scholars identify powers and...

Tenth graders calculate the area and the volumes of polygons. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders review the formulas used to solve for the area and volume and explain to the class how they arrived at their answer. They search online...
