Learners divide a poster board so everyone gets the same amount of area to decorate. Youngsters talk about the different ways to divide a rectangle. They measure their lines to make sure that each piece is equal and then decorate their...

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...

New Horizons began its journey to Pluto in 2006. Ten years later, it continues its mission. In that time, scholars have surely grown, but how much more will they grow by the time New Horizons reaches its destination? Find out with an...

A great way to incorporate math into life science, this lesson has learners measure migratory routes on a map and calculate the actual distance that shorebirds on the routes would cover. Learners compute the distance covered in both...

Learners complete a personal vision, a four year plan essay, meant to stimulate their thinking process. They set a foundation for what they hope to strive for in the next four years to come.

Third graders study the human body. For this health lesson, 3rd graders discuss that everyone's body is growing, measure body parts using a tape measure, and color the body worksheet.

In 2006, New Horizons began its mission to fly to Pluto. As it continues its journey, scholars track its progress with the help of an informative website, all the while reinforcing measurement concepts with the construction of a scaled...

Capture the engagement of young mathematicians with this upper-elementary math lesson on measuring time and distance. Using Google Maps, students first measure and compare the distance and time it takes to travel between different...

How many different interpretations of the mean are there? Scholars place numbers on a number line and determine the mean. They interpret the mean as the average value and as the balance point.

Students find Fibonacci sequences. For this applied Science lesson, students solve Fibonacci sequence problems. Students explore the mathematical patterns of objects in nature.

Students explore performing arts by singing with their class. For this music appreciation lesson, students collaborate in groups to read and sing songs based on specific holidays such as the Fourth of July or Christmas. Students define...

There's a pot of gold at the end of the school year! Use a month's worth of reading, writing, and counting activities to keep kids learning through the month of March.

Students calculate measures of central tendency.  in this mean, median, and mode lesson, students calculate the measures of central tendency.  They organize data, examine and explain the statistics.

Students explore permafrost.  In this 3 states of matter lesson, students identify characteristics of solids and liquids.  Students observe water and soil melting and freezing at various temperatures.  Students make...

Students identify foods that are made from wheat. They use a line graph to explain measurement. They identify foods from the food groups and explain how temperature, prefcipitation and natural resources affect the growth of wheat.

Third graders will sing 2 songs that are written and played by the teacher and relate to the task of measuring.They recognize and pick up a 1-foot standard ruler and be able to identify the marks on the ruler, including inch and parts of...

Students discover number sense by completing a math worksheet. In this scientific notation lesson, students identify the purpose for writing in scientific notation and practice writing large numbers in scientific notation. Students...

Space scientists use water displacement to determine the mass of a cubic centimeter mini meteorite, and then use it as a small-scale representative of an asteroid. They figure out the orbital velocity of an asteroid. Then they use a...

Students observe and count bird sightings around their schoolyard throughout the school year.

Students examine the three primary colors of light and design a numerical code to represent those colors. They tell how satellites use numbers to create satellite images after completing a number of experimental activities.

Use circle time to work on counting. Kindergarteners practice the months of the year, say the full date, chart the day's temperature, count to 100, and sing the alphabet song. This kind of daily routine cultivates deep roots for...

Students participate in a variety of activities about how caterpillers become butterflies.

Pupils go over math vocabulary words and show examples of the terms on the board. In this math vocabulary lesson plan, students go over many words and are given a worksheet with words and definitions.

Add visual representation to teaching place value with a magnitude model. Using adding machine tape, pupils build a linear place value strip from 1 to 100.
