Second graders explore a bag of mixed pattern blocks. As a class they discuss different attributes of these shapes. In this math instructional activity, 2nd graders search to find shapes that are similar by placing shapes on top of one...

Fifth graders apply math to real-world situations. In this mathematics lesson, 5th graders are read the book, "Math Curse," which discusses ways in which math is used each day. Students then write a sequel to the book in groups,...

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  For this patterns lesson, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

At one point, all mammals carried only two color receptors, but now most humans carry three. An informative presentation and hands-on activity demonstrate how this evolved through genetics. By participating in the activity, pupils...

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

In this division activity, students solve division number and word problems with and without remainders. Students complete 7 sets of problems.

In this spelling activity, students practice their spelling words that include sight words, kn/wr words, and vocabulary. Students practice spelling 16 words.

It's time for scholars to show what they know about coordinate planes with a collection of three assessments. The exams' objectives include plotting points on a single grid, measuring using the distance formula, and identifying...

A simple set of practice sheets deals with sentence structure and patterns. The 117-page packet includes 10 units of skills, varying from identifying parts of speech in a sentence to writing the correct part to make a sentence...

Here is an assessment designed to test mathematicians' knowledge of writing numbers, comparing numbers, skip counting, solving addition and subtraction problems; along with measuring objects, telling time, identifying shapes, reading...

Number patterns can seem mysterious. Help your learners unravel these mysteries as they complete an intriguing task. Through examination, collaborative groups determine that they are able to produce all integers above a certain...

Don't think negatively about exponents. Young mathematicians dissect a fictional conversation between pupils trying to evaluate an expression with a negative exponent. This allows them to understand the meaning of negative exponents.

Young geometers and biologists investigate the math of nature in an activity that is just the bee's knees. Participants will study the tessellations of hexagons in a beehive, along with the natural rationale behind the specific shape....

Build up from the previous activity where your learners charted the population growth and decay of a fish pond with M&Ms®. Have them look at the data from that activity and create a Now-Next, or recursive equations, to predict the...

A thorough math test divides the content into two 40-minutes sections, covering material through algebra and geometry. Problems incorporate analysis and applied problem solving.

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

Students understand multiplication through the use of snack manipulatives. In this multiplication lesson, students solve a multiplication problem using pretzels and then create and answer original problems. Students analyze how they got...

In this addition to 10 worksheet, students will solve seven addition problems with three missing addends. The goal is to find at least seven ways to make ten with three addends and to look for a pattern.

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...

Students identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Students create three letter words and decode for fluency and accuracy.  In this fluency activity, students use alphabet tiles to build words with the CVC pattern and read the word aloud.  Students alternate turns by stacking...
