Soup's on!: This lesson integrates children's literature and math. The students will listen to "Stone Soup" by Marcia Brown and bring items from home to make "First Grade Soup." The children will use the items to create a graph and share information about their graphs.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Vicki Rivenbark.

Sorting again and again!: Students will discover that beans have many attributes and they will sort them accordingly.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Melanie Kush.

Graphing with food: Students will use a variety of foods to make graphs. Each food should be used for a separate lesson for a total of ten lessons.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 Mathematics); By Bunnie R. Brewer.

Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!: Using chocolate as a theme, students will become involved in reading, writing, math, word study/spelling and other developmentally appropriate (integrated) activities. The unit includes centers for the classroom along with whole group activities.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Luwonna Oakes.

Body graphing: "Body Graphing" is an interactive graphing activity involving manipulatives to compare graphing results. With the use of ropes and unifix cubes students will learn to compare and contrast their body with classmates. The graphing activity can be extended to graph differences with height, hair and eye color, and other physical attributes.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 Mathematics); By patsy morgan.
