Students analyze the measurements of rectangles. In this analysis lesson, students will investigate patterns by looking at ratios. Students will also hypothesize the probability of a ball going into a certain pocket when playing pool....

Students examine the use of signal flags on vessels. They use measurements and symmetry to create their very own signal flag. Students work together and as individuals to solve problems and express their ideas.

Fifth graders practice using estimation. In this estimation lesson, 5th graders add, subtract, multiple, and divide using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Students decide upon instances when estimation is more appropriate than...

Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

This lesson requires a worksheet that is not connected. It is integral to the lesson.

Students examine a sample budget and categorize the entries as a group. Then in small groups they convert budget category totals to percents and degrees to make a circle graph related to a sample budget.

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

In this congruent and similar figures worksheet, learners review three steps to help them determine if figures are congruent, similar, or neither. Students then study the pairs of shapes and determine if they are congruent, similar, or...

Students discover the difference between triangles. For this triangle lesson plan, students discuss the different types of triangles, then draw the three different types of triangles. The teacher will draw, or model, how to draw the...

Students draw triangles. In this shapes lesson, students discuss what they already know about triangles, what they are and what they are made up of. Students discuss the types of triangles and practice drawing each type.

In this triangles practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

In this reflection, translation and rotation instructional activity, students read instructions, re-drawing a letter to the given specifications. Answers are included on page 2.

Students explore the difference between drawing and constructing a triangle utilizing The Geometer's Sketchpad on the computer. They create, develop and script constructions for both isosceles and equilateral triangles. Each student has...

In this congruency worksheet, students find congruency in everyday packaging on everyday items and answer questions about them. Students answer 4 questions.

Students examine how some transformations, such as reflections and rotations, do not change the figure itself, only its position or orientation.

Fifth graders engage in a variety of hands-on and technology-rich activities involving the classification of quadrilaterals. They utilize protractors and rulers to investigate the characteristics of various types of quadrilaterals. They...

Students practice calculating probability, see how geometry can help solve probability problems and explore platonic solids.

In this constructing triangles online worksheet, students construct thirteen triangles on paper first and then type in their answers on line. Students can check their answers as they go and the computer calculates the overall score for...

In this tower building and budgeting learning exercise, students attempt to meet the goal of building the tallest free standing structure on the smallest budget. They build the structures with straw, paper clips, and masking tape which...

Young scholars construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. For this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Young scholars identify powers and relationships between...

Students participate in a lesson plan designed to illustrate these concepts using simple materials. They use Science process skills to observe, measure, predict, make inferences, and communicate while completing the activity. Proper...

Students examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Students develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Learners are responsible for creating a border around a triangular garden spot, of which they know the measurements for two sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the third side and complete the garden.

In this triangle review worksheet, students define what type of triangle is being described, then draw a picture of it. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
