Friday Math - Penny Tile Flooring for Upper Elementary and GATE
Another Friday Math lesson for hands-on learning across several Common Core Standards . . . at least 22 standards from 2nd to 6th grade: multiplication, division, decimals, area, geometry arrays, expressing ratios, public speaking and listening, and more!
In this lesson, students apply math skills to determine the number of pennies required to tile a kitchen floor. They’ll make strong hands-on, visual-mathematic connections for area and multiplication as they tackle this real-life DYI dilem

Pumpkin Math
Pumpkin math is great for rotations and small groups. Students can work together to find out facts about their pumpkins. Students find information such as circumference, measurements, and create graphs. Students are even able to have pumpkin races!

Area of Complex Figures + Ratios - Real World Multi-Step and Projects GATE
I love to teach geometry because students must combine logic, visual perception, and math to solve problems. Why not add art and history into the mix as well?
Here is a challenging unit to reinforce basic understanding of calculating the area of complex figures. It will challenge the brightest students in your classroom!
We use vintage hotel and restaurant signs to solve problems about calculating the area of complex figures.
We begin with the basics and then ramp the level of challenge u

Polygon Riddles with ChatterPix
Download the ChatterPix app for ios
Then kids choose one of the polygon cards and draw a color example of their polygon in the box. They will answer simple questions about the attributes and then use the attributes to write a who am I riddle about their assigned polygon. Once they have this sheet completed they will be able to use the chatterPix app to import their polygon and record their polygon saying their 30 second or less riddle!

Da Vinci Parachute Prototypes -- Hands-on STEM
In this lesson, students solve geometry problems and learn background physics concepts as they build a working model of Leonardo Da Vinci’s parachute. Logic, critical thinking, a bit of Renaissance history, writing and supporting conclusions with details from a source—it’s all here too!
Make this extended lesson a cross-curricular, standards-based mini-unit, or just make it a cool building activity. Pick and choose the level of commitment right for you and your students. With the suggested e

Desktop Zip Lines -- GATE STEM for Upper Elementary
Students not only study physical science, they design with it, build with it, they write about it, calculate with it, and they live it.
It’s the engineering process in miniature as our engineering teams design and then build desktop ziplines from scratch. Students will draft plans, build zipline towers, choose the best zippy materials, and assemble their ziplines. Hey, it’s incredible fun . . . but it’s not just fun and games here! Students will use their ziplines to collaborate on a physica

Elliptical Orbits Project (PBL) - Precalculus Conic Sections & Eccentricity
This engaging Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity brings conic sections to life by having students explore how ellipses model real-world orbits. Students select a planet, moon, comet, or satellite and use research to gather key data such as eccentricity and orbital measurements, then create a mathematical model using the equation of an ellipse. They will construct and label a diagram, analyze how eccentricity affects the shape of the orbit, and present their findings through a visual project.
