Students analyze divination and carry out experiments using a probability model. In this probability instructional activity, students review information about divination and predictions in various cultures. Students set up experiments to...

Students solve trigonometric equations. In this precalculus lesson, students prove trigonometric identities using the Pythagorean Theorem. They apply the addition formulas for sine and cosine to prove different identities.

Students differentiate between different planes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between a plane and a sphere. They discuss the Great Circle, Geodesic and Lune as it relates to the earth.

Third graders multiply one and two digit problems, identify place value, and maneuver manipulatives to solve problems.

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes...

Students investigate probability and the chance of an even happening. In this algebra activity, students incorporate their knowledge of probability to solve problems and relate it to the real world. They learn to make decisions based on...

First graders work with manipulatives to solve various math problems by using concrete objects to solve a list of problems . They create and evaluate bar graphs and write a statement about the information on their bar graph.

Students identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry activity, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then students identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the classroom. To...

Students identify ways families save money. For this financial lesson, students read the book A Chair for My Mother and discuss ways to save money. Students identify coin values and practice counting money.
