Most young mathematicians are aware that the planets don’t orbit the sun in a circle but rather as an ellipse, but have never studied this interesting feature. This resource looks at the planetary orbits in more detail and helps learners...

Here is a math lesson that is really a visual arts lesson in disguise! In it, pupils utilize their knowledge of geometric shapes and forms to create a detailed version of a cylinder. The instructions on how to go about the task are very...

In this math worksheet, students find all the vectors in three dimensional space that have the length of 4. Also, the first and third components are the same. Finally, the second component is the sum of the first and third components.

Learners explore volume and surface area. In this math lesson plan, students fill boxes with cubes to identify the volume of the boxes. Learners discuss area.

In this SOL worksheet, students solve inequalities, identify equivalent fractions and graph polynomial functions.  They find the geometric means and compute average rates.  This eight-page worksheet contains 20 multiple-choice...

Students analyze inscribed angles and intercepted arcs and explore the relationships between the two. They investigate the properties of angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants to solve problems involving circles.

Students draw diagrams demonstrating how it is possible to two central angles to be congruent and their minor arcs are not congruent. In groups, they illustrate theorems with their constructed circles, create diameters of circles that...

Learners study the properties of ocean water and tides and learn about animals that live in intertidal zones. In this intertidal zone lesson, students participate in classroom stations to learn about fresh water and salt water, cold...

Ninth graders play guess my shape (either describe or use a feely bag to introduce the 3 shapes in the problem.) As they are identified put them in an order as shown in the problem. As the students work on the problem in pairs teacher...

In this triangles learning exercise, 10th graders solve 3 extensive informal geometry problems that involve triangles. First, they sketch a triangle, selecting 3 of the sides and constructing 3 midpoints. Students then draw each of 3...

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Students differentiate objects based on contrast in physical characteristics such as color, texture, size and shape. They also recognize and sort objects by color families.

This unit covers the basic trigonometry including understanding radians, how to convert between radians and degrees, the area of a circle subtended by an angle, basic properties and graphs of sine, cosine, tangent, and solving...

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Learners consider the geographical aspects of the gold rush. In this gold lesson, students research just what gold is and where it has been found. Learners create maps that highlight the regions of the world where gold has been...

Students analyze characteristics of various 2 dimensional shapes and explore their properties and use various vocabulary terms to discuss geometric relationships.

In this long vowel o and silent e worksheet, students read four descriptive passages and choose the multiple choice answer that fits the descriptive passages. Students circle their answers.

In this ck consonant digraph worksheet, students look over nine pictures and decide if each picture starts or ends with ck. Students circle their answers.

In this consonant digraph CK worksheet, students read twelve sentences and circle the pictures related to one word from each sentence.

In this long U with silent E worksheet, learners complete a maze, write out what the six pictures are within the maze, fill in the crossword puzzle and locate and circle all six words in a word search puzzle.

Learners investigate octagons using words and shapes. In this geometry lesson, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

In this vowels worksheet, students view five pictures, write the actual name of each picture on the lines provided, locate and circle/highlight each of the words in a word search puzzle.

In this addition terminology worksheet, students complete many activities where they define and match addition terminology. Students complete 11 pages of activities.

Learners find a variety of topics and subjects in this lesson plan. In the math section of this lesson plan, students graph linear equations and analyze their data. They solve one and two step equations to find the variable.
