Students research Pythagoras and learn how to apply his theorem. They solve real life problems using the theorem and demonstrate knowledge of exponents, equations, and radicals. Students include diagrams in their research papers.

Pupils identify a right angle and right triangle. They perform WebQuests searching for similar figures and solve for the length of one of the sides given the other two.

Students explore differents types of triangles and quadriaterals. In this polygon lesson, students  model identify and compare two and three dimensional geometric figures. Students create tangrams and discover the difference between...

This is an intriguing problem that brings together real-world data, technology, and mathematical problem solving. If visibility wasn't an issue, could you see from the highest point in the lower 48 states, Mt. Whitney, to the lowest...

Fifth graders engage in the solving of a real life application problem using the concept of calculating perimeter. They apply the operations of calculating with the polynomials for finding the perimeter of triangles,quadrilaterals, and...
