Here is a problem-solving lesson that has learners take the role of a packaging expert to design an inexpensive means of packaging a potato chip. It could benefit from having more specific detail about the lesson itself, but it does make...

Solve story problems using fractions or decimals. Then, determine the reasonableness of answers using estimation.The detailed lesson includes essential questions, vocabulary, a materials list, and links to related units.

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. In this geometry lesson, learners differentiate between rectangular prisms and cylinders. They use the correct formula to solve for each solid.

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Student complete worksheet using the definitions of lines and angle vocabulary. They define the word and follow a direction given on the worksheet such "construct a line." They complete an online tutorial on how to measure angles using a...

Explore the concept of volume of prisms using an applet to perform the calculations. The link to the interactive applet is embedded into the lesson plan as well as a link to associated data sheets. Get your math class to the computer lab...

Geometers explore symmetries of isosceles triangles by using rigid transformations of the plane. They complete four tasks, including congruence proofs, which illustrate the relationship between congruence and rigid transformations. The...

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

In this transformations worksheet, pupils draw the transformations of the triangles and parallelograms in graphs. They complete four drawings.

Students use a dictionary to gather appropriate information for writing simple definitions. They recognize prefixes that relate to numbers, such as mono-, bi-, and tri-. Pupils use their creative abilities to extrapolate new words to...

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Learners differentiate triangular prisms from other prisms using nets. In this geometry lesson, students define the properties of a triangular prism and its symmetry. They build a triangular prism moving lines around.

Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Fifth graders work with polygons.

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

Students review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Pupils study pyramids. In this prisms lesson, students explore the attributes of pyramids. Pupils will explore the lateral surface area of pyramids and be able to distinguish pyramids from other space shapes.

Students observe and solve examples of betweenness, ruler postulate, and segment addition postulate. They complete the Finding the Measure of Segments worksheet using the distance formula.

Students create a classroom quilt that illustrates the many unique ways that students use math skills.

Young scholars investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Students investigate the Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson, students solve for different parts of a right triangle. They identify the missing side or angle using the pythagorean theorem.

Fourth graders explore the definition and properties of parallel lines. This high level instructional activity has students calculate the slope of the two parallel lines, and draw the lines on a Caretsian coordinate system.
