Students view a video clip about spy planes. They identify the challenges engineers face in building small aircraft. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Fifth graders classify triangles. For this triangle lesson, 5th graders learn about the characteristics that make up a triangle. They are instructed through video, PowerPoint slides, and teacher-led demonstrations.

Students become familiar with the style of architecture of medieval times.  In this architecture instructional activity, students design a model of a medieval castle including its cornerstone. Students understand scale in their...

Several practice exercises suitable for any geometry class working on transformation, symmetry, and tessellation -- especially visual representations of image translation, rotation, and reflection, symmetry, tessellations and tangrams --...

In this Squeeze Theorem worksheet, students compute limits, identify a graph that represents the Squeeze Theorem, and graph given functions. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Tenth graders define the formula for cylinders and use it to solve real world problems. In this geometry lesson, pupils differentiate between area, perimeters, 2D shapes, 3D shapes, and volume of prisms, cylinders and spheres. They...

In this ordered pairs worksheet, students place candy shaped markers on a grid sheet. They roll the dice to form an ordered pair. They place a marker on that grid square and take the candy piece if there is one located there.

Using the poems "First Snow" by Ted Kooser and "Eating Alone" by Yi-Young Lee (or other suggested poems by Robert Frost or Sara Teasdale), middle schoolers search for examples of figurative language. Guide your learners by discussing...

Students experiment with the basic functions of a spreadsheet. They practice using headers, footers, functions and fonts. They also organize information.

Sixth graders develop a rule for finding the volume of rectangular solids using colored cubes. They investigate the properties of solid figures and find the volume of an object by counting units. Students fill spaces with standard-sized...

Students create their own spreadsheet. They identify the different parts that make up a spreadsheet and organize their data. They practice using functions and formats.

Beginning biologists survey several websites to learn about the types, structure, motility, feeding habits, and reproductive methods of bacteria. All websites are linked to the lesson plan, so you can have individuals access it and click...

Get into art with a little lesson on flower parts. The class reviews basic information regarding flowers and then they use a paper mosaic technique to create visual representations of the lovely plants.

Students identify shapes that match specific shape descriptions involving a range of geometric terms and correct polygon names. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Students locate lines of symmetry in regular polygons and predict the number of lines of symmetry in an octagon. In three different polygons, they construct all lines of symmetry and after making their prediction about the octagon,...

In this elementary math worksheet, 4th graders practice solving problems for reviewing the concepts of number sentences, numeration, and geometry.

Students create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.

In this finding perimeter worksheet, students find the perimeter of each polygon in the first set of problems. Students then write a formula to find each perimeter and solve the second set. Students finish by finding the perimeter for...

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.

Ninth graders access a star worksheet and determine properties of polygons.  In this investigative lesson plan students complete a worksheet and discuss myths. 

Learners work together to create mobiles with different polygons. They research the polygon and list its characteristics. They may present to the class if they chose to.

Students review and practice negative numbers, rules of signs and of brackets that include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Included in this lesson is polygons and expanding brackets. Mastery of mathematical language...
