Bill's Badge
Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.
Curated OER
Million Dollar Gift
Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.
Teach Engineering
Stay in Shape
Using their knowledge of right triangles, pupils find out how far a ship is from a light house. Class members determine how far around the world a ship would be sailing at a constant speed.
Curated OER
Math/Quilt Connection
Students explore quilting. In this math patterns instructional activity, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.
Curated OER
Geometry
Students are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...
Curated OER
Geometry in Nature
Students examine how the circumference, diameter, and the relationship of Pi of a circle are related. They count the summer rings of a tree to determine its growth.
Curated OER
Measure Me!
Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.
Curated OER
Marvelous Mathematics
Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...
Curated OER
Scooter Drivers Test
Students increase muscular strength and endurance and are introduced to basic traffic safety rules.
Curated OER
Angles: Angles, Angles, Everywhere
Students 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
Curated OER
Geometry Scavenger Hunt
Students 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
Curated OER
Determining Mercantile Volume of a Pine Tree
Fourth graders, acting as foresters, determine timber volumes as sawtimber or pulpwood for marketing. They find the marketable value of a tree using its diameter and volume.
Curated OER
Line Boogie
Students complete an activity to improve their spatial awareness and loco-motor skills. In this spatial and loco-motor skills lesson, students pass a beanbag down the line of students.
Curated OER
Estimation
Young scholars complete computer activities about estimating if items are more or less than a given amount. For this estimation lesson plan, students also estimate measurements around the classroom.
