Students create a sculpture inspired by the masks, pendants, or human and animal forms found in ancient Indian art of the Americas. They focus on the techniques of metalworking, especially repousse.

Second graders determine how to name two-dimensional shapes by their properties. In this two-dimensional figure lesson plan, 2nd graders work in two groups. They work with the teacher to examine two-dimensional shapes and complete a...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is so important for learners as they progress through different levels of mathematical learning. Here is 125 pages worth of wonderfully constructed vocabulary and concept review cards....

Young scholars investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed...

Students compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Students describe the differences between congruence and similarity. After explaining the motions that indicate congruency of two shapes, they complete worksheets to draw lines of symmetry and similar shapes. With straws and twist...

In this drawing views of solid figures practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Twelfth graders solve problems involving linear and angular speed. Using information about a compact disc, they solve the problem using multiple rates and conversion factors. Students also solve additional problems involving bicycle...

Young scholars create large-scale 3 dimensional forms out of 2-dimensional material. They draw figures in various positions on lightweight poster board. Then they cut them out and fit them together and stapled or taped them into place on...

Students identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. In this three-dimensional figures lesson plan, students  build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Students...

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume, learn the terminology used with surface area and volume and have experimented with the surface area and volume of different prisms.

Fifth graders use patterns, models and relationships to solve equations.  In this equations instructional activity, 5th graders define vocabulary for equations and complete worksheets explaining variables and solving problems.

Students discuss methods of building forms with clay (ball and variations, snake, flat sheets). They draw a stick figure of what their sculpture may look like, including correct figure proportion.

Students classify, flip, slide, and turn a quantity of quadrilaterals.

Students determine the missing vertices of quadrilaterals. In this rectangles and trapezoids lesson, students examine the characteristics of quadrilaterals. They identify the missing vertices of a quadrilateral on a coordinate plane.

Young scholars use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular...

Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Fifth graders create polygons requested by their teacher. In this polygons lesson, 5th graders watch a video and listen to a song about polygons. Then, students take turns labeling various polygons and practice making polygons.

Fifth graders use formulas for calculating areas of squares and rectangles to find area of complex figure, compare their own ideas with their classmates' ideas, and recognize that there are multiple methods for finding area of complex...

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

Students differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.

Just how big would it really be? Young mathematicians determine if different toys are proportional and if their scale is accurate. They solve problems relating scale along with volume and surface area using manipulatives. The...

Which ones are square corners? As they learn more about shape attributes, be sure scholars understand the difference between a vertex and a square corner. After examining two examples, learners circle the 90-degree corners in 12...
