Middle schoolers create paper quilts of their own using the isometric grid that tessellates the plane or the fraction quilt square.
Curated OER
Christmas Tree Angles
For this angles worksheet, students measure angles to make triangles and cut them out to make a Christmas tree. Students draw and cut 5 triangles to make their tree.
Curated OER
Geometric Transformations
Students solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...
Curated OER
Polygons and Plane Figures
Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.
Curated OER
Snowflake Curve
Young scholars develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the...
Curated OER
"The Greedy Triangle" by Marilyn Burns
Students discover which regular polygons can be used to tile a plane.
Curated OER
How Many Trees Can You Grow?
Students solve a story problem about how many trees can be planted in a given area. Using a map, they gather information about the size of the area and the dimensions of an acre. They use a specific equation to determine the area of...

It's Around There Somewhere! Perimeter, and Circumference
Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper. Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. ...
Curated OER
Hurricane Tracking
Students access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to solve...
Curated OER
Ratios (Cost of a Habit)
Students consider an individual habit and its cost. They study ratios and proportions, and use that knowledge to calculate the cost of a habit over extended periods of time. write a detailed comparison of the costs.
Curated OER
2-D Polygons
Students investigate the concept of two dimensional polygons. They complete a vocabulary chart with the teacher or in independently. Students are shown various polygons in order to classify them and then asked to draw one of them from...
Curated OER
Using Excel to Draw a Best Fit Line
Students create line graphs for given data in Microsoft Excel. Students follow step by step instructions on how to create their graph, including how to create a trend line. Students print graphs without trend lines and manually draw...
Curated OER
Measurement via Triangulation
Students utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula to...
Curated OER
Rotation Symmetry
Pupils investigate the concept of symmetry by using various examples and performing independent practice with scaffolding provided by the teacher. They review reflection symmetry and cover the new rotation symmetry using manipuatives.
Curated OER
Patterns In Fractals
Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.
