Beginning lesson on Coordinate Grids-First Quadrant: Students will investigate the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system. They will use online activities developed by Shodor.org to identify the coordinates of points, or plot specific points. Then students will progress to an activity where they direct a robot through a mine field laid out on the coordinate plane. Permission has been granted for the use of the materials as part of the workshop - "Interactivate Your Bored Math Students" by Shodor Education Foundation, Inc.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Bonnie Boaz.

Light, camera, action! Shadows?: This lesson will demonstrate how the position of a light source or direction of light and the time of the day will affect the shadow images that are depicted in our environment over a period of time.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 English Language Arts, Computer Technology Skills, Mathematics, and Science); By Alta Allen.

PIZZA = "Fractions: Any Way You Slice It!": During this lesson, students will explore and investigate the relationships among fractions. Students will use paper pizzas divided into fractional parts to compare equivalent fractions. They will see part-whole fractions as fair shares and begin to understand that the parts must be equal.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Computer Technology Skills); By Alta Allen.

Where were you born...A graphing lesson: Students will gather data and graph the results. Lake Norman Elementary's student population has a wide range of native states. Many of the students were born in states other than North Carolina. This activity allows the students to survey each class to see what states are represented in our school. After the survey results have been tallied, students will use the data to create different types of graphs. The class will then compare the graphs and will decide which type of graph represents the information most clearly.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3–4 Mathematics and Computer Technology Skills); By Erin Bradfeldt, Joan Milliken, and Kathy Beck.
