Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 1, Lesson 1: Math in Motion
Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.
Curated OER
How Large is a Mole of M&M's
Students calculate whether or not a mole of M&M's fill their high school. They practice factor-labeling, define a mole, and calculate the number of cubic feet per mole of M&M's. To answer the question they measure and calculate...
Curated OER
Blindfolded Building
Students build a Lego design and then work with a partner to reproduce that design. They guide the building of the reproduction by description only and then check their work.
Curated OER
Chinese Art: Botanical Motifs
Learners are introduced to Chinese Art and how artists used botanical motifs. They look at slides of motifs and then create a watercolor themselves. A functional motif will be created by them and they have to provide its meanings to...
Curated OER
Clockwise
Second graders investigate angles through this series of lessons. They determine how angles turn in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions. They examine the characteristics of quarter half turns and how they can begin from any...
Curated OER
Our Geometric World
Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes instructional activity, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons....
Curated OER
Conic Sections and Locii
Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.
Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem: Triangles and Their Sides
Learners investigate triangles and their relationship to each other. In this geometry lesson, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. They differentiate between right, acute, straight and oblique...
Curated OER
Compound Locus
Students investigate circles and compound locus. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the distance from a point to a line. They use Cabri software to create lines and circles.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin By Design: Coordinated
Students watch the teacher draw on the chalkboard and try to determine the form being drawn. They use questions to determine Quadrant #1 of a coordinate plane.
Curated OER
Physics Rewind
Eighth graders differentiate speed and velocity. For this physics lesson, 8th graders explain Newton's laws of motion. They calculate speed using a mathematical formula.
Curated OER
Mine Is! Is Yours?
First graders engage in a lesson which teaches the concept of symmetry through the use of letters in the student's name. They use a piece of yarn to see if they can make symmetrical pieces out of their own names.
Curated OER
Physical Pendulum Lab
Students calculate the moment of inertia of a disc. In this physics lesson, students differentiate the two methods used in finding the inertia. They construct their own pendulum for the lab.
Curated OER
Assignment: Creating within a Limited Format
Students follow set of guidelines to create a picture of an apple with a stem and leaf. They think about whether they are more or less creative when working within a set of rules.
Curated OER
Data Days
Sixth graders practice collecting, organizing and displaying data. They create circle, bar, line and picto graphs. They analyze data in small and large sample groups.
Curated OER
Vectors
Young scholars differentiate distance and displacement. In this physics lesson, students use formulas to calculate for displacement. They draw vectors using the grid.
