Students construct a scaled model of a city that provides for the economic and cultural needs of a community while maintaining high quality air and water to protect the public health. They articulate, in a presentation, the locations of...

Ninth graders create a scaled model city. They create a blueprint that provides for the economic and cultural needs of a community. They identify where essential elements of the city should be located and explain the rationale for the...

Fourth graders explore landforms located along the Oregon Trail. They discuss the significance of the Oregon Trail, identify visual landforms, and explain the definition of each one. Students complete worksheets, color, and label maps.

Fourth graders swap local soil samples with another school and examine the differences. They research soil properties, identify organisms that live in soil, create and maintain a biome of soil decomposition and design a poster to present...

Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Students explore the complexity of handmade quilts and their designs by looking a real life samples.

High schoolers are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students calculate the distance between two points using the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students derive the distance formula using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students solve problems. In this math lesson, students write solutions using LOGO commands in order to help get the turtle to the pond.

Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.

Students explore tangram vocabulary and tangram designs, creating an art design that contains various geometric parts. They complete a checklist titled, Important Thing About a Quilt Design.

Second graders will identify the attributes of 3D shapes and measure the edges in inches and centimeters. This lesson contains a detailed plan and videos of students engaged in the activity.

As a whole group, students will sort a collection of three-dimensional objects into categories by shape. There should be several that fall into each of the categories below: Aligns with 1.G.A.1.

In this lesson on 2D shapes, 3rd graders will learn to discriminate quadrilaterals from other polygons. Additionally, they will be able to identify attributes of a square, rectangle, and rhombus.

The purpose of this task is to help students differentiate between a polygon and the region inside of a polygon so that they understand what is being measured when the perimeter and area are being found. Aligns with 3.MD.D.

The purpose of this task is for students to decompose a figure into rectangles and then find the total area by adding the area of all of its smaller, non-overlapping rectangles. Aligns with 3.MD.C.7.d.
