Second graders explore how musical instruments h ave varying geometric shape, and how those geometric shapes correspond to three-dimenaional shapes that students have studied.

Second graders write in journals, recording personal thoughts about what they learned and/or something they are wondering about.

Students use shape puppets to review geometry content. They take turns singing songs, reading students poems, reciting class bulletin board notes and choral poems. They prepare for their summative assessments through play and interview...

Young scholars use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Students explore the concept of translations. In this translations instructional activity, students discuss similarities and differences between images and pre-images. Students apply translations to coordinates of figures. Students use...

Young scholars examine the idea of "regularity" as it pertains to geometry.  In this geometry lesson students complete several assignments that are part of trihedral angles and regular polyhedrons.

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

In this math learning exercise, learners work at home with a family member to identify triangles and find the areas. Students find 3 triangles in tile patterns, wallpaper, paintings or anywhere in the home and answer 6 questions.

Students discuss relief sculptures and examine many examples of Roman urns with relief sculptures. They consider the information these urns give us about Roman culture and then use drywall to design and create their own relief sculpture...

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Eighth graders study the cultural and architectural history of San Diego. After study they create a design of a home based of features from historical and modern homes found in their research.

In this consumer mathematics instructional activity, students explore a variety of topics in mathematics including simple interest, perimeter, area, volume, translating words into symbols, percentage problems and mortgage calculations....

Students watch the teacher draw on the chalkboard and try to determine the form being drawn. They use questions to determine Quadrant #1 of a coordinate plane.

Second graders, using a minimum of four space figures, create a mobile. They use a "Draw" program to first plan out their figure.

Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.

Third graders experiment with, identify, and follow teacher-directed instruction toward understanding two-dimensional geometric shapes found within the environment. Groups of students utilize geoboards to help them explain geometric shapes.

Students work together to make figures out of tangram squares. In groups, they calculate the measurements they need and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. They complete a worksheet solving equations using the theorem and review their answers.

Students work together to build a simple gear train. They record their observations as it gains speed and how the gears rotate. They develop rules about gears based on these observations.

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students read a set of 15 math related definitions and write the words being defined. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

Second graders locate, comprehend, interpret, evaluate, maintain, and apply information, concepts, and ideas found in literature, the arts, symbols, recordings, video and other graphic displays, and computer files in order to perform...

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Learners estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Seventh graders groups measure the diameter and circumference of each of the circular objects in the room. They record their results on their student worksheets and access a computer spreadsheet program to compile their results.
