Motivate your students by engaging them in a competition! In this lesson, your students will review and practice multiplication strategies.

This lesson introduces students to the concepts of mean, median, and mode in a hands-on and visual way.

How are plants’ traits affected by environmental factors? In this integrated science and reading lesson, students will use multiple sources to identify and determine how traits are influenced by the environment.

Using the same action verbs all the time can get old. Help your students spice up their writing by teaching them to identify and use action verbs. Your young writers will explore synonyms to improve their repertoire of action verbs.

Some problems are easy to fix, while some are more complicated. Use this lesson to teach your students to identify the characters’ attempts in a story to solve problems.

Young mathematicians will enjoy demonstrating their skills with this lesson on finding area. It addresses the concepts of length, width, and square units.

Real people and characters in stories show who they are by their words and actions. Help students make the connection between a character trait and the words or actions that support it by using Character Cards.

Use this lesson to help your ELs learn about words and what they mean. This lesson can stand alone or be used as a pre-lesson for the Vocabulary Flash Cards lesson.

Help your students use multiplication to support their conceptual understanding of division. Use this lesson alone or as a pre-lesson for Division: Solving for Unknown Factors.

Review halves, thirds, and quarters with this activity that gives hands-on students a way to learn about fractions actively.

Are your students ready for a virtual road trip? In this lesson, your students will learn more about clusters of states called regions and explore the unique characteristics of the states within each region!

Five, ten, fifteen... Help your students practice their multiplication skills by teaching them to skip count by fives. In this lesson, they will use dice to practice math!

Transform the traditional egg drop experiment as you help students to engage in design thinking and develop empathy.

Being able to distinguish between fact and opinion is really important for young students. Help your third-graders understand the difference between them with this worksheet-enriched reading lesson.

Students will become more familiar with common metric measurements when working with mass and volume. In this lesson, kids tackle three worksheets to practice solving one-step metric unit word problems.

Teach your students how to use a variety of representations when creating and solving word problems. Simple acronyms and visual aides help make learning multiplication a breeze.

When writing, authors need to create a strong hook and ending to draw their readers into the text. In this lesson, students will develop strong support for a movie or book that engages the reader.

Do your students need extra practice forming words with the suffixes -er and* -est* depending on the context? With an abundance of words to explore, your students will learn how to determine which suffix is best for each individual context.

Use this lesson to introduce, review, and teach pronouns! Your students will get to practice using these words and build their reading and language skills.

Help your students spring into action with contractions! With this lesson, your students will create contractions from the words will, not, and have. With a focus on spelling and word structure, they will be empowered to use contractions.
