Fourth and fifth graders investigate angles and name them according to the criteria for obtuse, acute, and right angles. They examine a human-made yarn pattern on the floor of their classroom and identify angles, vertices, and types of...

Students classify angles. In this angles activity, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a...

Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

Boat ramps move with waves and changes in water level. Scholars decide on the proper length for a ramp so the angle connecting both sides is appropriate. They visualize the situation and use a simulation to view the results with their...

Third graders read the story, Magic Schoolbus Inside the Human Body. Then they form right, acute, and obtuse angles using the joints inside their bodies. They write a brief summary about what they learned about angles as a review the...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Third graders review angle criteria and then stand. They demonstrate with their hands each type of angle called out by the teacher: right, acute, or obtuse. Music is added and students follow teacher in an angle aerobics class peppered...

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

The students are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.

Young scholars make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics instructional activity, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create...

Students explore Earth science by participating in a weather identification activity. In this scientific instrument lesson, students identify several weather related tools such as the weather vane, thermometer and rain gauge. Students...

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Students use triangulation method to locate meteorite landing site on the map. In this earth science lesson, students participate in a meteorite treasure hunt set up by the teacher. They explain how this method is used by scientists to...

Students investigate the history of fighter kites and build their own.  In this aeronautics lesson, students discover how other countries utilize fighter kites and where they originated.  Students create their own fighter kites...

Students discover three lettered postulates that prove triangles congruent.

Fourth graders complete a variety of activities as they study the European exploration of the Midwest, focusing on Indiana. They map the path explorers took, comparing the British with the French. They research why the explorers stopped...
