Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Students, just like Eratosthenes, try to use math to calculate immeasurable objects. Teachers need to try out the calculations before having your class do them. They should take notes to be included with their own calculations and drawings.

Students investigate the movements of the planet Pluto. Students participate in a hands-on activity to record data similar to the movements of the planet Pluto. Students compare their data to that found on a website.

Eighth graders participate in a lesson plan that covers the concept of an algebraic inequality. They practice recognizing the symbols used in an inequality and solving them using the methods that are similar to solving equations.

Ninth graders study inequalities. After a teacher demonstration, classmates solve and graph inequality problems. In groups, they are assigned specific tasks that lead to the solving of inequality word problems.

In this math worksheet, students examine the functions for their properties to determine if they are real or not. They also graph them according to their domain and range.

Students identify the effect the change of dimensions causes for the volume and surface area. In this geometry lesson, students compare perimeter, area and volume as they play around with the dimensions of the polygons. They discuss...

Eighth graders investigate the concepts and combining them into polynomials. The teacher uses direct instruction for delivery. They can use Algebra to make this lesson hands-on for the benefit of kinesthetic learners.

Students create a spreadsheet that calculate the amount of concrete needed to pour various concrete forms.

In this math worksheet, students state the two fundamental laws of Calculus. Then they investigate finding the area of a rock in cross-sectional pieces.

In this Venn Diagram instructional activity, learners fill in the blanks with always, sometimes, or never by reading the Venn diagrams.  The variables used in the Venn Diagrams are clearly defined.

Eighth graders participate in the mini-metric Olympics. For this measurement lesson, 8th graders solve real-world problems that require them to calculate length, area, and volume in metric units.

Students investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This lesson helps to develop the skill of number sense.

Students comprehend what has been explored in the previous earthquake engineering design lessons, by putting their designs to the test. They are given pairs a piece of paper, and an empty plastic bottle or can. Students stand the...

Students explore Edgar Allan Poe's most famous short stories. In this Edgar Allan Poe lesson, students complete a 25 page packet of activities where they recognize the features of genres and literary devices Poe uses. Students read "The...

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume lesson, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Learners utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula to...

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.
