Am I a Square?: Students should discover how their height is related to their arm span. They will learn how to do spatial and visual estimation, use measuring tools, recognize factional parts of an inch, gather data, and organize and create a graph based on their findings.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4–5 Mathematics); By Priscilla Hege.

Does One Cup of Everything Weigh the Same?: The student will predict whether one cup of everything weighs the same. Next, the student will estimate the mass of several cups of materials. Then, using a primer balance the student will find the actual mass of each cup of materials in grams. The students will order the cups from lightest to heaviest by mass.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Christy Bunch.

Estimating Rational Numbers: Students round fractions and mixed numbers to their closest whole number by first changing the rational numbers into decimal numbers.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Doreen Castelloe.

Estimation Strategies Using Website Applets: This activity uses several applets that teach and reinforce estimation strategies. Shodor Education Foundation, Inc has granted permission for the use of the Shodor materials as part of the workshop- "Interactivate Your Bored Math Students."; Format: lesson plan (grade 3–4 Mathematics); By Bonnie Boaz.

Exploring place value with M & Ms: This lesson will use M&Ms to explore place value. The students are given 8-10 M&Ms and assigned a value for each color from one to hundred thousand. The students will then write their number in standard, written and expanded form. The students will also identify the place and value of various digits.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Amy Bullins.

Gallon Man Saves the Day.: The "gallon man" is a graphic organizer that helps students visualize and remember the contents of a gallon. It makes conversions from pints to quarts etc., and it is very easy for students to use.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Jimmy Davis.

Introduction to Spreadsheets: In this two-week unit the students will use a teacher made spreadsheet to learn how calculations work. Then student teams will work together to create their own "store" order form on a spreadsheet. The final part of the lesson is a simulated game show where students "shop" at each others stores, trying to spend an exact amount of money without going over, getting closer to their required amount than any other team.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Christine Weaver.

Making Change: Students will use plastic coins and paper bills to practice making change with a partner.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Carol Livingston.

Mass of Maize: Students will weigh different products made from corn to determine if a cup of each product has the same mass. Students will use measurement and estimation skills.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Julie Franklin.

North Carolina Numerals: Students will design their own numeric system using North Carolina state symbols.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Social Studies and Mathematics); By Wendy White.

Order ,Please: This lesson lets students interact with rational numbers to create largest and smallest possible numbers.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Gail Poteat.
