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.

A six-page packet walks, or bends learners through angles that combine to create triangles. Definitions are given for right triangles, obtuse and acute triangles. They draw angles according to directions, using a protractor to meet the...

Young scholars discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Students practice using compass and calibrate their own pace, take field measurements of pre-set course with compass and pace, convert measurements into map, using angles and vectors, and make composite class map by adjusting different...

Students apply their math skills to develop an accurate estimate of the height of a tall tree. Three different methods are outlined. All grade levels should be able to perform the shadow method and the proportional method.

Students explore measurement in terms of pizza toppings. In this math lesson plan, students draw a circle using string and a ruler, determine areas of different size circles, find how many two topping pizzas can be made using 14...

Young scholars create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both...

For this similar figure worksheet, students use similar figures and indirect measurement to determine distance.  They use proportions of similar figures to determine scale figures.  This two-page worksheet contains 8...

If you dropped a needle on a lined sheet of paper what is the probability that the needle will cross one of the lines on the page?  Surprise your class with how calculating this probability can approximate pi. This question is known...

Students find the different ratios of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing sides and angles on a right triangle. They use a robot to create a right triangle.

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...

Students utilize online research skills to surf the Internet and complete an online scavenger hunt to find the answers to various mathematical questions.

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...

In this interactive lesson, learners review attributes of equilateral polygons. They are introduced to the concept of a tessellation. Using protractors and pre-cut shapes, students arrange a variety of tiles to create tessellations. They...

Learners calculate volume using the correct formula and the correct unit. They explore different prisms, spheres, cubes, and cones as they calculate volume and relate it to depths in oceans.

In this algebraic equations worksheet, students solve 9 different problems that include various types of equations used on the sheet. First, they determine the solution of a given inequality. Then, students write the greatest common...

Students calculate the measurements of the inscribed angles of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students relate the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the diameter of a circle to each other. They calculate the diameter of a circle as...

Using a twelve foot knotted rope, young scholars form a 3-4-5 right triangle. Following a discussion of observations about the lengths of the sides of the triangle, students use grid paper, scissors and a centimeter ruler to draw and...

Students determine whether a hit baseball is a home run or not by utilizing parametric equations to describe the path of the ball. They assess the importance of angles and velocity needed to hit a home run. In addition, in their own...

In this construction geometric shapes worksheet, student use the software program for instruction then construction shapes and bisect angles for four questions.

Exact narrative and examples make this lesson plan on polygons easy to implement. Through it, your class will learn how to use a protractor and ruler to construct triangles and quadrilaterals according to your directions. Your class will...

In this math worksheet, learners draw quadrilaterals and also find the sums of the inner angles for each. They practice drawing rhombuses as unique quadrilaterals.

This is an integrated lesson that incorporates Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. In Social Studies, 7th graders complete an online interview and complete an online worksheet about latitude of sites on the Anza trail. In Science...

Students research how engineers and scientists generate linear and angular measurements with geometry to survey the Earth and Mars. They assess how geometric shapes affect navigation. A surveyor comes to the classroom and explains how he...
