Eighth graders investigate the concept of a prism and finding the volume. They begin the inquiry by attempting to find the surface area in order to begin the inquiry. Students are expected to apply memory for the mathematical formulas in...

Students solve area problems.  In this area, circumference, and perimeter instructional activity, students solve area and perimeter problems using standard and metric units of measure.  They identify the best customary unit of...

Students explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.

In this geometry learning exercise, 10th graders express the area of the ring between two concentric circles in terms of the length of a segment tangent to the smaller circle.  The one page learning exercise contains a drawing of...

By working together, pairs of students will complete a Pi webquest. Using the internet, they examine the ways people in the Ancient Civilizations of Egypt, Babylonia and Greece used Pi. To end the lesson, they review the concepts of...

Learners retell a story using the correct sequence of events for a story they have listened to five times. They identify the characters and the setting for the story, and sequence the events using a dissembled copy of the book.

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...

Jack Kerouac's cult classic, On the Road, is the focus of this resource designed for teachers

Knowing the basics of drafting allows individuals to create drawings that show all the views and measurements necessary to allow others to visualize the original object. Pupils gain experience by drawing three orthographic views of...

All the 2-D and 3-D measurement work you need is in one location. Divided into three sections, the geometry lesson plans consist of visualization of three dimensions, classifying geometric figures, and finding surface area and volume....

Mathematical arrays can represent several different math skills, including counting groups, multiplication, and even area. For this specific task, learners are asked to identify the addition equations that are equal to a 3 x 4 array....

Use of the resource = Opportunities for increased learning. Learners must use equations and inequalities to solve real-world and geometric problems.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail" serves as an exemplar for a mini-lesson on semicolons. Working alone or in small groups, class members first circle all the semicolons in the letter, and then consider how this...

Translate the Common Core math standards into a series of achievable "I can" statements with this collection of classroom displays. Offering posters for each standard, this resource is a great way to support your seventh graders as...

Encourage scholars to express themselves with help from an engaging song. Sung to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down," participants sing phrases that offer tips for dealing with emotions—sad, happy, worried, proud, mad, and...

Launch pupil interest in rockets. Scholars build rockets out of straws and balloons to learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion. Their task is to hit a target five feet away. It's not as easy as it seems!

Students determine the area of two objects by superimposing one on the other. They compare and order the area of different shapes by covering a larger shape with similar smaller ones. They complete these activities as different stations.

In this elements, compounds, and mixtures worksheet, students answer questions about the properties of elements, mixtures, and compounds. Students identify the physical changes that is made to a substance to determine if it is an element.

In this math worksheet, pupils solve 6 story problems in which area or perimeter is calculated. These are construction related problems that students must solve and indicate if area or perimeter is used. The meaning of the title is unclear.

For this circle graphs worksheet, students solve 10 different problems that include reading various circle graphs. First, they use graph 1 to determine how many students preferred which sport. Then, students use graph 2 to determine the...

Tenth graders predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive...
