We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

If members of your class wonder where they can use the math they learn in middle school, let them discover the answer. Learners apply geometry concepts of scale and measure to calculate the costs of framing a house addition.

Agriculture is truly a math-based profession! Help the dairy farmer determine the supplies needed to complete his barn. Using given dimensions, learners build equations and use units to determine the correct amount of materials.

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry instructional activity, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about...

Young scholars create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry instructional activity, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate...

Pupils estimate and measure exact. In this geometry lesson, students create different object in three-dimensional pattern. They use SketchUp to create their shape and perform measurements on their shapes.

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this instructional activity. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is...

Students participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their...

Students investigate the creation of three dimensional drawings. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and complete orthographic drawings. They Cabri software to manipulate and move the drawings around.

Students investigate orthographic drawings. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.

Learners examine two- and three-dimensional shapes and figures. Individually, they practice identifying the shape from various viewpoints. By completing this activity, they develop a spatial sense about how figures and shapes are...

Students work together to create a 3D coordinate system. They plot points that are given to them and asked to find these points in space. They discover how engineers use coordinates in their careers.

Students calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. For this geometry lesson, students define nets, surface areas and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. They use the computer to create nets and analyze shapes.

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students observe the growing stages of plants. In this plant growth instructional activity, students collect, germinate, and plant seeds to chart the growth process of plants.

Students complete several student readings involving kite making and kite flying. They analyze how the parts of a system go together and how these parts depend on each other. They comprehend how different environments both provide...
