Have you ever wanted to travel the world? Take a virtual trip with a geography lesson that uses longitude and latitude, the position of the sun, an astronomy app, and a classroom globe.

Students make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

Students learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.

Students create different shapes by putting light on different objects. They change the distance from the object, the light source and angles to make the shadows different. They are to describe the relationship between the light, object...

In this math worksheet, students will work with a coach to determine which shapes (in a box of shapes) are congruent. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Bring out the inner artist with this Abraham Lincoln lesson. Elementary students work on a home project creating a hat similar to Abraham Lincoln's hat. They will use geometry and measurement to create the scale of the hat, then...

Third graders discover geometric shapes by completing a series of games and activities. Using ropes with knots tied every foot, they make shapes such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. In pairs, 3rd graders use pattern blocks to...

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

Third graders complete a classroom game used to build understanding of two and three-dimensional shapes. Diagonals, sides, regularity, congruency, angle measurements, parallels, perpendicular, faces, and edges are a few of the vocabulary...

Pupils create a classroom quilt that illustrates the many unique ways that students use math skills.

Students create a tally chart. In this math and health lesson, students discuss healthy foods and create a tally chart showing the number of students who like to eat healthy foods.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Third graders search for and locate examples of acute, right, straight and obtuse angles in the classroom. They record their findings by writing the exact location of each angle found and organize them into angle categories.

Students engage in a lesson plan which reinforces the concepts of clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, while developing an understanding that angles are measured in degrees. They utilize a mathematics educational program to gain practice.

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

If shapes have the same area, do they always have the same perimeter? Learners explore the relationship between the area of square units and their perimeters in a hands-on activity. Observations are recorded, and they begin to recognize...

Extend young mathematicians' understanding of area with a geometry lesson on trapezoids. Building on their prior knowledge of rectangles and triangles, students learn how to calculate the area of trapezoids and other...

Pupils study rectangles. In this math instructional activity, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics lesson plan, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create triangles in...

Learners use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson plan, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Learners watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...
