Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students play with a floor tile applet to see that there are many types and characteristics of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles,...

Students explore the concept of sine. In this sine lesson, students create a sine graph from tooth picks. Students create a unit circle with tooth pick length radius. Students then take the tooth picks from the unit circle and put them...

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Learners engage in a lesson plan that is about the classification of triangles and the mathematical proofs involved in working with them. They work on a variety of problems that are created by the teacher with the focus upon the...

Students use roadside kill to use taxidermy skills, become comfortable working with animals and dissecting.

Students identify different locations on a unit circle. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the different trig properties and rewrite the equation of a circle in standard form. They use mnemonic devices to help them...

Young scholars investigate the engineering design process and the relationship between distance, time, and speed. Using a generic car base, small groups design a device that will protect an egg on or in the car as it is rolled down a...

Students construct and maintain a school garden. In this gardening lesson, students plan the construction of the garden by writing letters to local businesses asking for supplies and materials; students build the garden using their math...

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Second graders design and sketch a model house. For this technology lesson, 2nd graders construct their house using teacher provided materials. They present their finished project and explain their design in class.

Students excavate an artifact. In this archaeology lesson, students get a bucket filled with dirt and a broken up artifact. They work in groups to take it out and to find what its purpose was. 

Students investigate photosynthesis in water plants. In this photosynthesis lesson plan, students use the elodea plant and observe gas bubbles released to determine the rate of photosynthesis. They vary the light intensity and the amount...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between...

A guide to support parents as they work with their students in angle measure and plane figures.

What is an atlatl? Learn how this Aztec dart throwing tool can be used to teach students such things as distance, radius, and linear and angular velocity. Curriculum strands are provided for each of the many lesson plans for students...
