Chesskids
Academy *Students
of all ages can access these easy-to-understand lessons that teach
the basic strategies of chess. There are online line lessons, offline
lessons to download (you need to load a special font on our computer),
and free interactive quizzes.
UBuyACar:
Not only a lesson in math, but also an appropriate lesson for high
school students in real-life budgeting. They must assess what kind
of new car they can afford based on yearly salary, using several
excellent resources and guidelines, an assessment checklist, and
strategy suggestions. They will also consider what it means to afford
a car. Also available as PDF format.
Checkbook
Math: Students are assigned their own checkbooks with this ongoing
math and budgeting activity, with real-world applications. You can
tailor this lesson plan to create a monthly lesson or even a weekly
effort, depending upon how much time you have.
Improving
Deductive Reasoning Skills:
Problem-solving skills very early materialize into a necessary function
of ongoing mathematical success. Students will parti- cipate in
highly creative activities, starting a la Sherlock Holmes, to improve
their own deductive reasoning abilities.
Elementary

The
following lesson plans come from C L A S S R O O M

Learning Company's School Division
Hands-on
Math for the Elementary
ClassroomTried
and true math lessons in integers, data
compression, building symmetric solids, making an
astrolabe, and many others. Students will really
enjoy this hands-on approach to learning
math.
Adding
Fractions
This sample chapter and lesson on fraction addition
is from Don Cohen's book, Calculus By and For
YoungPeople . . . a special challenge that students
can master, and feel great about accomplishing
it!
Metric
Conversions
Upper elementary students will play a board game to
learn and practice metric conversion. You can
download a ClarisWorks or Acrobat file, or simply
print the board pattern on the web page. The only
other materials needed are die and
markers.
Games
on graphs
Besides providing several games that students can
actually play on graphs, this site also introduces
activities which students can explore in a
problem-solving approach, using patterns,
functions, graphs, shapes, etc.
Tips
for Teaching Maths
Teachers offer effective strategies for warming up
students, making thought processes clear and
offering accessible and lucid
presentations.
Toothpick
Geometry
What better way to understand triangles than to
have your students make various types with
toothpicks!
Three
Dimensional Shapes
Using architecture as an example, students will
identify and then build a 3 dimensional model home,
employing cones, cubes, etc.
Origami
Lessons
Now that your students are focusing on geometry,
have them try this fun application--origami! Make a
crane with triangles and rectangles, or
"yakko".
World
of Escher
Is your class cutting out shapes and rearranging
them for tessellations? What better site to visit
than the World of M.C. Escher to take a look (or
two or three or more!) at a master shape
designer!
Mathematic
Games
Card tricks, geometry magic, and calculation
wonders all make up this bundle of "tricks"--all
based on mathematic principles. Your students might
just see math in a new way!
Internet
Mathematic
Workbook
This is a handy-dandy workbook that you can use
every day--either in your classroom, or to create
homework assignments for students to work on at
home. It's available in either hardcopy
(printable) or interactive format. Graded from K
through 6, it provides a math database: drills of
skills by grade and level, of 5 - 10 minute
exercises, with several exercises available for
each topic.
Challenging
Mazes
Here's a way to reward the students who finish all
their worksheets in class with time to spare! Print
out these wonderul mazes from the Learning Company,
and you may just inspire all of your students to
get finished on time!
Manipulatives
for Upper
Elementary
Using geoboards, tangrams, color tiles, blocks and
cubes, etc. can often make math more meaningful for
students. From this teacher in Alberta comes a set
of 18 lesson plans in which to incorporate
manipulatives for grades 4 to 6.
Primary
Math Enrichment
From Britain, this site provides a rich resource in
math activities, problems, lessons, and games.They
also have a kid's magazine, a free math club, and a
bulletin board. You'll find that here they really
like math (and shouldn't we all?) !
