Presenting ... the gold standard for a lesson. Learners first investigate a task maximizing the area of a plot for gold prospecting. They then examine a set of sample student responses to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

For this geometry worksheet, students construct polygons and calculate the different angles formed by each shape. They construct circles, trapezoids, and rectangles and answer 20 questions.

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Learners investigate refraction and reflection of light. In this light lesson, students perform 3 activities to observe light interacting with matter by using a flashlight. They explore refraction using a glass of water and reflection...

High schoolers will love this geometrically exact ceramics project; they create a personalized clay box using the slab method and mathematical measurements. They utilize scoring and square construction and can decorate the boxes to...

Here is a way to help your charges identify circles and spheres. In this shapes geometry and technology lesson, students identify and draw circles and explain the related attributes. They recognize circles and spheres while exploring...

Students analyze inscribed angles and intercepted arcs and explore the relationships between the two. They investigate the properties of angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants to solve problems involving circles.

Third graders review the scientific method and how and in which steps scientists use observations and measurements. Then as a class, they hypothesize which ramp will send the car the farthest. They break into groups and send cars down a...

In this geometry worksheet, students use a ruler and a protractor to measure the lengths of the line segments and size of the angles that make up a drawing of a Christmas tree.  The one page worksheet has one problem.  Answers...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

How can you formally assess understanding of circle concepts? Pupils take a mid-module assessment containing five questions, each with multiple parts.

Your task today: count all the trees on a tree farm. To complete the assignment, learners first estimate the number of trees on a tree farm using random sampling. To improve their own response they then evaluate provided...

In this solving quadrilateral word problems worksheet, students draw figures to identify quadrilaterals, use angles to find the ones missing, and explain classification. Students solve six problems.

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

Young scholars experiment with the angle that yields the greatest distance of water at constant pressure.  In this experiment with the angle that yields the greatest distance of water at constant pressure lesson, students shoot...

In this triangle worksheet, students solve 1 word problem about the lengths of a triangle. Students determine the length of the longest side given the ratio of the angle measures.

Learners construct three-dimensional models of the three pyramids at Giza. They research the building of the pyramids and record the height, base and angle measurements of each pyramid. They create a file of facts regarding the pyramids.

Tenth graders investigate geometric construction.  In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders explore the procedure for copying an angle and a segment.  The lesson plan emphasizes the difference between a sketch, a drawing, and...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of quadrilaterals and how they are used to create a rectangle for a door. They create a drawing of a quadrilateral while finding the sum of the angles. They practice problems...
