Students recognize that people have many different types of skin color.

Students read books by Michael Arvaaluck Kusugak to explore life in the Artic Circle. After reading the books, students compare and contrast life in the Artic Circle to life in the United States. They write and illustrate a story about...

Linear or not linear — that is the question. The lesson plan has class members translate descriptions into algebraic expressions. They take the written expressions and determine whether they are linear or nonlinear based upon the...

Students examine patterns of volcanic distribution worldwide, use tables to plot and label location of each volcano on map, lightly shade areas where volcanoes are found, and complete open-ended worksheet based on their findings.

Pupils discover how to recognize tangents and how to use their properties. They investigate and use the properties of angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants. Students use two tangents and the properties of similar triangles to...

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...

Students participate in a simulation activity involving the distribution of the world's wealth and power. The activity starts when 100 pennies, representing wealth and power, are spread on the floor and students must grab as many...

Students explore the concept of congruent triangles.  In this congruent triangles lesson, students use Cabri Jr. to construct two congruent triangles using circles.  Students determine if the two triangles are congruent by...

Here is a lesson plan which incorporates ingenious hands-on activities that simulate how many animals use camouflage as a survival technique. This lesson plan clearly outlines how to implement the activities and discussion sessions found...

Students explore the degree, diameter, planarity, and size of graphs.  In this degree, diameter, planarity, and size of graphs lesson plan, students try to construct a graph with more than 12 vertices that satisfy all other...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Pupils solve problems using fractals. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of fractals. They find patterns in their surroundings and relate it to the real world and math.

Young scholars recognize lines and corners as properties of geometric figures and identify shapes based on these characteristics. They move through a variety of stations practicing tossing, throwing, tallying and recording combinations...

Students solve problems involving triangles. In this geometry lesson, students apply properties of triangles to find the missing angles and sides. They identify angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Young scholars study polygons. In this math instructional activity, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Young scholars identify the properties of quadrilaterals.

Noah didn't construct this kind of arc. High school scholars first explore how angles can be formed in circles. They then learn relationships between angles and arcs by conducting an exploratory activity where they position and draw arcs...

You have to love the color wheel, it's just so colorful! Your kids will love it too, as they work through an introductory exercise which allows them the opportunity to draw and paint a color wheel of their own. This wheel focuses on...

Students explore properties of fruits and vegetables using their five senses. In this sensory activity lesson plan, students study fruit and vegetables through a microscope, using their sense of touch as they are blindfolded, and with...

This worksheet provides a wonderful scaffold for those learning how to analyze art in a critical and thoughtful way. It describes what art historians do, then requires learners to view and analyze one of the listed works. Twelve...

Use this activity on cross-sections of three-dimensional shapes in your math class to work on algebra or geometry Common Core standards. The lesson includes a list of relevent terminology, and a step-by-step process to illustrate the...

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

A jam-packed worksheet has all the topics you would teach in an Algebra II class with a variety of question styles. Starting with function notation and ending with geometric sequences, there really is something for everyone. Each...

Time to learn about sundials. Scholars see how to build sundials after learning about Earth's rotation and its relation to time. The unit describes several different types of possible sundials, so choose the one that fits your needs — or...

How can shapes help solve literal equations? Scholars first learn to replace variables with shapes to aid in solving literal equations. A worksheet of practice problems helps hone the skill.
