Students investigate planning an activity and getting it done on time. In this algebra lesson, students define vocabulary words related quadratic equations, including the vertex and intervals. They figure a good way to color graphs...

Students differentiate triangular prisms from other prisms using nets. In this geometry lesson, students define the properties of a triangular prism and its symmetry. They build a triangular prism moving lines around.

Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Middle schoolers are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Students explore geometric vocabulary through creation of shapes on a geoboard. They present design attributes, transfer of design, and color-coding components mix to create a fun and exciting lesson that stretches student thinking.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Students determine the relationship between perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and/or volume of similar figures and their parts. They complete activities related to the question. Answer key included.

For this chemistry practice worksheet, students solve sixteen problems including identifying chemical and physical changes, calculating numbers with significant figures, naming compounds and writing formulas and converting from one unit...

Students explore similar figures. In this surface area and volume lesson, students identify the relationship between the surface area and volume of similar figures.

Second graders explore triangles and quadrilaterals. They rotate to various centers in the room to identify and examine triangles and quadrilaterals. After presenting a picture to the class, 2nd graders locate right angles, triangles...

Second graders explore the features of triangles and quadrilaterals. In this lesson on triangles and quadrilaterals, 2nd graders rotate with their group to five different activities all exploring a different aspect of geometry.

High schoolers explore the concept of constructions, sketches, and drawings. In this constructions, sketches, and drawings lesson, students discuss the differences between constructions, sketches, and drawings through teacher led...

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson plan, students derive the distance formula and slope of a line from the Pythagorean Theorem.

Fifth graders, after seeing Honeycomb examples, complete a Classifying Angles worksheet, Clock worksheet, and Defining Angles worksheet.

Sixth graders explore the concept of Sojourner.  In this visual arts lesson, student create a model of Sojourner using recyclable or "junk" materials.  Students are encouraged to experiment and problem solve to find what works...

Students explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool lesson plan, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Students identify and draw one line of symmetry...

Name that shape! This simple worksheet has learners identify each geometric figure. They examine rectangular prisms, cylinders, rectangular pyramids, and hexagonal prisms. This one-page worksheet contains 8 problems, and the goals seems...

After reading a short passage that identifies different types of geometric solids, kids answer a series of questions using information found in the article.

Learners identify two and three dimensional shapes and use appropriate geometric vocabulary to write a description of the figure by taking pictures of geometric figures in their own environment.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Young scholars follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions lesson plan, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation. This...

Fourth graders examine faces, edges, and vertices. In this geometry lesson, 4th graders participate in classroom activities that require them to compare geometric shapes, figures, and models.
