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.

In it Goes, Out it Comes: Students will work with input and output using numbers and letters.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Angeli Jarman.

Bag the beans: Students work with manipulatives (beans) to create and solve math problems, some of which have more than one correct answer. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 3–4 Mathematics); Provider: American Association for the Advancement of Science

Birthdays and the Binary System: Exploring Binary Numbers in a Real-World Application: This lesson revolves around patterns and place value in the binary system. Students are drawn into mathematics by the “magical” ability to guess an unknown number and by the use of birthdays.
