Students explore space shapes learning about edges, corners, and faces. They enjoy shape soup as a culminating activity.

Solve story problems using fractions or decimals. Then, determine the reasonableness of answers using estimation.The detailed lesson includes essential questions, vocabulary, a materials list, and links to related units.

Learners explore the concept of polygons on a two-dimensional plane. They identify polygons in everyday life and draw different polygons according to their classification. Using a geoboard and geobands, they consrtuct polygons and even...

Third graders research the Internet to locate geometric designs in familiar buildings. They review shapes, solids, angles and symmetry as they research websites of familiar buildings in Louisville. They record the information they see...

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. In this geometry lesson, learners differentiate between rectangular prisms and cylinders. They use the correct formula to solve for each solid.

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Explore the concept of volume of prisms using an applet to perform the calculations. The link to the interactive applet is embedded into the lesson plan as well as a link to associated data sheets. Get your math class to the computer lab...

Examine three Cubism art pieces by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque with your students. They will research how Cubism was advanced due to Picasso and Braque. and then compare and contrast Cubist works through image based discussion. Your...

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

Students use a dictionary to gather appropriate information for writing simple definitions. They recognize prefixes that relate to numbers, such as mono-, bi-, and tri-. Pupils use their creative abilities to extrapolate new words to...

Students explore characteristics of symmetry, write a definition, and locate the line of symmetry on a shape.

High schoolers are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no creative...

Second graders write a Math Moments journal.

Third graders identify healthy foods in each group of the food pyramid. In this nutrition instructional activity, 3rd graders take notes on the food pyramid by visiting the website, www.mypyramid.gov. Students design a healthy menu for...

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects and...

Students describe, make and compare polygons. For this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students compare and contrast related two- and three-dimensional shapes, and complete a Venn diagram illustrating the attributes of each. Using a poem pattern from another lesson, students use data from the diagram to write an attribute...

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

Students collect and record data. In this early data analysis lesson, students gather data about their partners face. As a class, the students use tally marks and pictographs to record the data and answer question about the information...

Fifth graders explore geometric building blocks in the real world in order to describe the characteristics and relationships of points, lines, line segments, rays, and planes. This is the first lesson plan in a series of lessons in...

A fabulous four-page assignment explores volume formulae for rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, and pyramids. Pupils apply the formulas to solve problems, match diagrams to values, and address real-world scenarios. A detailed answer...
