Lesson Planet has helped me differentiate my classroom as needed. I always find it easy to adapt work for struggling learners but find it more difficult to adapt work for higher level learners. By using lesson planet I get great ideas to create fun, challenging work for my higher level learners.

Fifth graders investigate mathematical concepts related to the construction of a three dimensional cube. They construct the cube from two dimensional patterns and compute the surface area. Students also define the faces, edges, and vertices.
First graders create a map of the classrooms in order to find hidden treasure. They investigate the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects.
Learners study two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects by assembling a sculptural piece from something very flat - pieces of newspaper or wallpaper. They see what materials people used to make clothing during the depression.
Fourth graders are introduced to the measures perimeter, area and volume. They read contexts using the terms and begin to develop meaning for each measure. Additional contexts are presented and the definition of each measure is clarified.
Fifth graders are introduced to the concept of surface area. They identify the surface and attributes of figures that are measurable. They describe and distinguish the measures of surface area and volume of the figures.
Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. In groups, they create and decorate their own polyhedron design. After identifying the faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron, 6th graders determine a relationship between the faces, vertices and edges.
Students add to a class Shape City by designing and constructing new buildings.
Fourth graders view and identify three-dimensional figures. They analyze and discuss various figures, build three-dimensional figures, and complete various worksheets and worksheet discussion questions.
Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.
Students calculate the surface area of a sphere using the correct formula. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between the surface area of different spheres and make comparisons. They use cylinders with base and non base.
