Module 5: Modeling with Geometry
Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts to finding...

Pop! Rockets
Off they go — launching rockets is fun. The lesson plan contains templates to build paper rockets that can be launched from a PVC pipe launcher. Individuals or groups build the rockets and determine the shapes for their fins. Included...

Module 6: Congruence, Construction, and Proof
Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This unit...

Ship Shape
Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

Making Pictures from Smaller Shapes
Students investigate shapes. For this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.
