Sixth and seventh graders construct a "metric machine" as a kinesthetic aide in converting from one unit to another in grams, liters, or meters. They complete a metric activity on the Internet and view about five minutes of a video on...

With this daily counting activity, your kindergartners will master counting in sequence automatically from 0 to 100, and will count in multiples of ten to 100. With the whole class, count to 100. With each number, learners will whisper...

Students practice their multiplication facts by reinforcement and repetition. Students write facts in their math journals, and use labeled soccer ball and deck of cards to practice multiplying by "number of the day." Play continues until...

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Musical chairs is a great activity to get children moving while still paying attention and listening. This activity, which is based on musical chairs, gets students moving while learning basic addition facts. They hop from hoop to hoop...

Give the actors in your class a chance to shine as they act out skip-counting. In their roles, they take turns shouting out different number patterns and jumping when reaching the given goals set for each number family. A fun and...

Factoring is an essential component in algebra, and this worksheet prepares learners with a quick reference guide and examples. After they find all the factors, they decipher whether the number is prime or composite.

Students create patterns. In this math lesson, students complete and create patterns using pattern blocks or disks. Students analyze the patterns they see.

First graders are introduced to how to use a ruler and its purpose. Using a boomerang, they estimate its length and then measure it using a string and ruler. In groups, they practice the same exercise with various objects while...

Here is a quick 15 minute lesson intended to introduce subtraction. Learners count and subtract gummy bears to complete 5 problems. The lessons suggest that the gummy bears can be saved and used the next day, but gummy bears get gross...

Your resource or special education class will have fun with this interesting approach to learning about integers. They use rap, movement, and an interactive online game to reinforce the rules of integers. A well-rounded lesson that...

Students count coins. In this currency and mathematics lesson, students use skip counting to figure the value of a group of coins. Students use plastic replica coins and real coins.

Second graders explore estimation and measurement. In this estimation and measurement lesson, 2nd graders use footsteps to measure distances around the classroom. Students sing songs to measure the number of beats from one area to the...

Students explore measurement comparisons of taller and shorter. They examine a picture and order the picture's elements from shortest to tallest. Afterwards, they draw themselves and other items shorter or taller than welements in the...

Fifth graders use prime factorization to identify prime and composite numbers. They use cubes to find factors. In groups, 5th graders draw rectangular arrays to discover prime numbers under 100.

Students classify, add, subtract, and factor polynomials. In this polynomials lesson, students classify polynomials by creating their own system. During a discussion, the class decides on a common system. They add and subtract...

Students explore the different properties of conics. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the midpoint of a line, the distances between two points as they get ready to find the focus and directrix in eclipse and other conics. They...

Students investigate and perform reflections and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast the relationship between reflections and symmetries.

First graders listen to the book, Piggies, and act out the events of the story with premade puffball pigs.

Students solve for the different ratio and proportion of a problem. In this geometry lesson, students show their knowledge of how to solve proportional relationships. They convert between percent, decimals and fractions.

Students use manipulatives to explore the notation of addition and gain experience with independent practice. They demonstrate their knowledge by performing the operation on the board with magnets, on their own felt work mat then on...

Third graders use play money to complete tasks that allow them to see if the budget they came up with works. In this budget lesson plan, 3rd graders create their own budget and test it out with the play money.

First graders discover that patterns exist in sounds, movement, and objects. For this patterns lesson, 1st graders select two items from a group  and produce an alternating pattern.

Students study sorting. In this classification lesson, students sort buttons into groups based on a common characteristic and draw two pictures illustrating the different groups.
