A functional math lesson using a transit map metaphor to teach students how to read schedules and calculate elapsed time, designed for grades 3-5.

A comprehensive lesson on finding equivalent fractions using multiplication and division, supported by fraction strips and number line models. Students explore how to scale fractions up and down while maintaining the same value.

A geometry lesson focused on identifying and creating multiple lines of symmetry through the lens of traditional quilting patterns. Students explore how geometric shapes can have horizontal, vertical, and diagonal symmetry.

A 4th-grade math lesson on identifying and generating equivalent fractions using visual models like fraction strips and bars, and applying multiplication and division rules.

A focused practice session on basic multiplication and division facts up to 12x12. Students will solve five multiplication and five division equations to build fluency.

A lesson focused on mastering addition and subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators using the cross-multiplication (butterfly) method. Students use structured graphic organizers to visualize each step of the process.

In this hands-on geometry exploration, students venture outside to measure the angles of shadows cast by playground equipment and trees at different times of day. They apply their protractor skills to record data and analyze how the sun's position changes angle measurements.

Fourth graders explore line symmetry through Indiana's local flora and fauna, identifying mathematical patterns in nature and creating original geometric art.

A foundational lesson designed for SIFE students to understand fractions greater than one using visual models and fraction strips. Focuses on bridging concrete models to number lines with minimal text reliance.

A foundational lesson on equivalent fractions using area models and number lines, styled as architectural blueprints to emphasize precision and measurement.

Analyzing and creating line plots to represent measurement data.

Expanding measurement skills to fourths of an inch and practicing with mixed numbers.

Introduction to measuring length in halves of an inch and understanding mixed numbers.
