Cross Up Hundreds Board: Students will experience patterns and problem solving on the Hundreds Board.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Karen Bartlett.

The Grapes of Math: The book The Grapes of Math is an excellent motivational picture book that models how to use different “thinking” skills to solve word problems by employing a variety of computation strategies. By reading and discussing the possible solutions to the examples provided in the text, students will begin to visualize possible methods to use when trying to solve word problems. Using other word problems to practice the application of these various strategies will enhance the students' abilities to recognize and then apply successful strategies for problem solving.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3–5 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Deborah Cook.

Origami Geometry: Students apply their knowledge of geometric terms to follow directions while folding an origami sculpture. Students then solve math problems which relate to the project with follow-up discussions about the project relating to geometric terms such as symmetry, faces, edges, square, triangle, plane, etc.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3–5 Mathematics); By Cherl Hollada, Libby Morrison, Michelle Kaczynski, and Susan Pope.

Phases of the moon: Young children may have the idea that the moon actually changes shape. This lesson explains that this apparent change is a result of the moon's revolution around the earth.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics and Science); By Jacquelyn Arthur.

Chairs around the table: In this Illuminations lesson, students investigate the number of chairs that can be placed around an arrangement of square tables. Three related problems in this lesson yield different linear relationships for students to discover.
