Math and science come together in this cross-curricular astronomy lesson plan on planetary motion. Starting off with a hands-on activity that engages the class in exploring the geometry of circles and ellipses, this lesson...

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find the...

Fifth graders explore geometry by exploring Pi. In this circle measurement lesson, 5th graders identify the relationship between the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle and how Pi is the key to unlocking any circular...

Students explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. In this perimeter lesson, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Students utilize grid paper,...

Second graders explore geometry by experimenting with fold-ables. In this geometric shapes lesson plan, 2nd graders utilize cutout shapes from construction paper which they experiment with by folding. Students examine the symmetry and...

Fourth graders participate in a variety of activities dealing with animal characteristics and classifications in this multi-task lesson. They use graphic organizers, make booklets, and make models.

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...

Young scholars explore how geometry is used on the composition of artworks by artists from different cultures. This instructional activity is equally suited for a Math or Art classroom at the late-elementary or early-middle school level.

Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Students, in groups, venture onto the schoolground on a scavenger hunt for shapes. They are given tasks: recorder, team leader, presenter, reporter, and behavior guidelines and a time limit. They search the school for shapes found in...

Students use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...
