Fifth graders use Geoboards to demonstrate how shapes can be made by looping the rubber bands over the nails. They make a triangle on their Geoboards. At least one side of the triangle should be either horizontal or vertical. The picture...

In this math worksheet, young scholars find the length of the side of a regular hexagon whose area is numerically equal to its perimeter.

Fifth graders build models. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders build paper models to represent square centimeters, square inches, square feet, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and perimeter.

Middle schoolers explore the concept of index notation. In this square root and cube root lesson, students examine number patterns as they complete a worksheet that requires them to calculate roots.

Fourth graders determine the value of ? by measuring the circumference and diameter of circular objects such as soup cans, Oreo cookies, etc..

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.

Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson plan. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Students read the novel Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner. Using Lego RCX units, students build and program sleds to re-enact the "home stretch" of the National Dog Sled Race.

Young scholars calculate the amount of wrapping paper needed to wrap boxes. They describe how they determined their answers.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

Pupils role-play the 1737 Walking Purchase. In this Pennsylvania history lesson, students role-play the 1737 Walking Purchase and analyze its effects. Pupils also consider how it would affect their community today.

Students observe a balloon rocket and how it relates to Newton's Third Law of Motion. In this balloon rocket lesson plan, students make a balloon rocket out of balloons, clothespins, straw, fishing line, and duct tape.

Students prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English...

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

Students use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology instructional activity, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help...

Ninth graders solve linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders investigate the properties of equations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive, Substitution, and Transformation Properties) and use these properties to solve...

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Middle schoolers receive a copy of a "Spaghetti Measure" task sheet along with the scoring rubric. Students preview the task and the rubric prior to starting the task. tudeThey determine the circumference of a circle of spaghetti that...

Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.
