Students use literacy skills to gain information about tolerance. In these lessons on acceptance, student read stories, answer questions, survey students, and plan a citizenship week to encourage participation in a No Name Calling week.

In this algebra lesson, students sample food and identify acceptance sampling. They create specific plans to meet specific situations as they sample the food. There are 6 questions.

Scholars assume the role of admissions officers to better understand the college admissions process. They evaluate five fictional college applications and work together to determine which ones meet acceptance requirements. 

Pupils use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic equations...

Students role play what it would be like to have a physical disability. In this lesson on acceptance, students listen to the book A Rainbow of Friends by P.K. Hallinan. As a class, the students discuss similarities and differences in...

The resource is a good introduction to what makes a proportional relationship between two lines. Discuss the similarities of both lines and the possibility of intersection. Use this opportunity to list other acceptable forms of each...

Third graders work with money values and making purchases. In this money lesson, 3rd graders listen to Donna Guthrie's book, Real World Math: Money and Other Numbers In Your Life. They make money cookies either with a recipe or with...

Shapes are everywhere in the world around us, from rectangular doors to the circular wheels of a car. The second lesson in this series opens the eyes of young mathematicians to this wonderful world of shapes as they search the classroom,...

Young explorers review the basic shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle) and practice putting them together to make new shapes. Given an outline of a pond, they recreate it by combining other shapes.

Students become familiar with the importance of money now and the forms of money used in the past.  In this money lesson, students investigate the cour characteristics of money: portable, divisible, durable and acceptable. ...

Young mathematicians draw and label right triangles using Cabri Jr. technology. They create other special right triangles and identify the length of the hypotenuse and each leg. Students explore the ratios to determine how the hypotenuse...

Learners investigate systems of equations as they use the Ti-Navigator to explore scenarios about dog races and NASCAR races. Pupils determine the winner of the race and when opponents pass each other given a speed and distance.

Pupils analyze a display of data and review dot plots to make general observations about the highest, lowest, common, and the center of the data. To finish, learners match dot plots to scenarios. 

How can you prove it? Guide classes through an exploration of two possible triangle congruence criteria: AAS and HL. Learners connect this criteria to those previous learned and also explore criteria that does not work. The lesson...

Students explore the history of teddy bears. In this comprehension lesson, students bring a bear of their own to compare and contrast with their classmates. Students read book and discuss the events and draw pictures of the scenes.

Students plot complex numbers in the polar plane. They are asked to list what they believe are the five most famous numbers in mathematics. Students are explained that generally accepted that the five most famous numbers in mathematics...

Learnerss engage in a study of quadratic functions and how the coefficient of x^2 has on the graph of it. They study the quadratic function for review with the help of index cards. The lesson includes a resource link to align the it with...

Learners evaluate mathematical problems using the formulas for volume. They recognize "perspective" in different shapes including cubes, pyramids and cylinders. Students practice on brainstorming all the different shapes and how they can...

Students discuss censorship of music and other art forms. Students create their own list of criteria for acceptable music. Students write a list of their own "Filthy fifteen" based on their criteria for acceptable music.

Students complete the following problem by using logic: Three couples, the Smiths, the Jones and the Browns wanted to go to the Brown's yacht that was moored a little way out in the lake. There was a dinghy to take them to the yacht but...

Sixth graders, in groups, explain why they think something. This requires students to listen to and respond to each other. In this particular lesson, 6th graders explain to their classmates when one can or cannot construct a specific...

First graders read "How Long Is A Foot?" together and use paper clips, teddy bears, crayons and other non-standard units to measure items. They compare the items measured and order them from longest to shortest.

Students evaluate the acceptable use of classroom space. The class participated in a brief lecture and discuss of floor plans and how they are used in architecture. Using graph paper, they create a scale drawing of the classroom...

Sixth graders read and discuss background and vocabulary. They use the background to develop a flow chart showing the movement of food from farm to table and work independently or in groups to complete an activity. They then use Internet...
