Discover the concept of fractions by using fruit as a model. Scholars discover fractions are part of a whole, similar to the pieces of fruit which are placed in front of them. They then cut up several different types of fruit and discuss...

Two activities explore the concept of size, especially small sizes down to the nano. Scholars practice determining volume, mass, and density and calculate exponential increases and decreases. They then predict and test the effect of size...

Young mathematicians review what they have previously learned about coordinates and straight line graphs. Then, they access an interactive component within the lesson plan to gain more practice with this skill. Additionally, there are...

Increase the percent of pupils that are fluent in solving change problems with an activity that asks class members to look at problems that involve either increases or decreases and to express the change in terms of the percent of...

In this telling time worksheet, students review analog clocks. Students use the time given and an analog clock to draw the hands on the clock face to represent the time given. There are seven in all.

Review the vocabulary from Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea with a magic squares activity. To find the magic number, readers match the numbers on a grid with the words and definitions from the novel.
