It all about money! Explore the concept of money in this real-world, unit plan. A collection of six lessons where students practice skills such as coin identification, mental math, menu math, making change, math operations with coins, and more. Thoroughly written, packed with engaging activities, and complete with printable worksheets. A Canadian money lesson that can be easily adapted for U.S. coins.
This unit teaches students how to become a wise consumer. Some of the topics discussed are income, budgeting, credit, saving, and loans. Five different activities include objectives, worksheets, evaluations, and resources.
Many teachers find it more challenging to incorporate the use of manipulatives into their mathematics programs at the upper elementary or middle school grades. Activities using manipulatives are provided for grades four, five, and six using each of the following: geometric solids, base ten blocks, geoboards, colour tiles, tangrams, pattern blocks, and blocks and cubes. Lesson plans are provided in both HTML and pdf formats for easing printing.
Large manipulatives and hands-on activities are used to teach patterns to Kindergarten and Grade One.
A compilation of resources devoted to teaching probability and statistics. The resources are broken into seventeen different objectives that have a problem, activity, and a game.
Different approaches to incorporate problem-solving skills into the elementary mathematics classroom.
Two and three-dimensional geometric shape are explored in these exercises. Each activity has teacher notes, activity instructions, and a worksheet when necessary.
For this unit, students will be taught several techniques for creating tessellations and will respond to their learning in their Math journals.
Three different lessons demonstrate how to write linear equations. The equations found from two points, slope and a point, and slope and y-intercept are all featured. The lessons have an overview, materials, procedures, and evaluation techniques.
