Fifth graders practice solving problems.  In this fraction and decimal lesson, 5th graders recognize the relationship between fraction and decimals.  Students estimate problem results and write expressions to use for problem...

Third graders engage in a instructional activity that focuses on the attributes and forming of a cube. They construct a cube using different combinations while comparing a square with only two-dimensions. Students fold paper while...

In this Algebra I/Geometry/Algebra II worksheet, students create a scatter plot and analyze the data to determine if the data show any type of correlation.  The four page worksheet provides extensive explanation of topic,...

Students examine where trigonometry exists outside the classroom. In this trigonometry lesson, students create trigonometric functions to match the data provided and to solve word problems relating to the real world.

In this math worksheet, students will work in a group to experiment with the weight of objects when placed at a distance from a scale (using a plank). Students will record and graph their results.

Sixth graders use geoboards and dot paper to experiment with geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, 6th graders complete four activities using geoboards or dot paper including naming points on a coordinate plan and finding the...

Students explore slope.  In this middle school mathematics instructional activity, students analyze and interpret graphs as they investigate slope as a rate of change.  Students use a motion detector to collect data as they...

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

Students explore aerodynamics. In this aerodynamics lesson, students study the flight patterns of three paper airplanes and discover the underlying principles of aerodynamics. Resources and grade level modifications are present.

Fifth graders practice using estimation. In this estimation lesson, 5th graders add, subtract, multiple, and divide using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Students decide upon instances when estimation is more appropriate than...

Fifth graders explore the four quadrants of a coordinate grid.  In this graphing instructional activity, 5th graders trace sea shells in each of the four quadrants of a coordinate grid and then label the ordered pairs on each...

Third graders participate in classroom game to practice place value skills. In this place value instructional activity, 3rd graders recognize matching digits of the same value. Students record their numerals and their value by writing...

Students study trees in their natural habitat. In this tree lesson, students complete a number of outdoor activities to estimate the height of a tree, examine how bark can be a distinguishing tree characteristic, and how to make a bark...

Students experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics lesson, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Students graph the results...

Students play games.  In this comprehension and recall activity, students play Give Me A Break, Bingo and Jeopardy to reinforce the knowledge they've learned about Lewis and Clark.

Middle schoolers monitor local surface weather conditions for at least 30 days. They interpret the data by graphing it and detemining percentages.

Students create a timeline of ten events in chronological order about a scientist to include his/her accomplishments.

Students complete experiments to find out if all eggs are same size, how they roll, and where is the air inside of the egg.

Students study and chart the levels of the atmosphere. They determine volume and location of the whole in the ozone layer by problem solving and drawing Antarctica.

Students and teacher talk about arrays of numbers like the ones in A Square of Circles. They check to see that the rows all have the same sum; that the columns all have the same sum; and that the diagonals have the same sum.

Students study map grids and explore how they can be used to locate positions of objects or features on a map. They read a story and then participate in a grid activity using a large map of the setting of the story.

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions instructional activity, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation....

Learners create art in the style of Piet Mondrian. They review works by Mondrian, identify primary and secondary colors and then use construction paper, cut strips of paper and paint to create a piece of art that incorporates geometric...

Pupils examine how archaeologists preserve context of sites through use of rectangular grid or Cartesian coordinate system, and develop sense of distance by pacing off and estimating distances.
