A fun art project, this lesson plan incorporates math and listening skills as young artists play with a new painting technique. First the teacher models how to draw a cat using shapes, an oval for the body, triangles for the ears and so...

Geometric shapes are really cool. Examine triangles, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, pentagons, and hexagons with your class. They draw large shapes and small shapes then compare them to understand their shapely...

Students practice recognizing shapes while using gross-motor skills. In this early childhood math movement lesson, students explore shapes as music plays and they walk the perimeter of large cut-out paper shapes by playing musical squares.

Students observe and demonstrate a variety of activities to identify the fraction parts and the symbols they represent. As a class they explore different fractions using unifix cubes, then use the cubes to build and discuss the...

Young scholars explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Young scholars describe the attributes of their shape and...

Students create pairs of cards with numbers and pictures. Encourage students to use a different color to represent each number/picture pair; this help them with visual association in the "Concentration" game.

In this college level algebra worksheet, students examine patterns, formulas that describe the pattern and determine the sum of an infinite pattern.  The one page worksheet contains five questions.  Answers...

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

Seventh graders explore basic geometric definitions involving angles, area, and circumference. To reinforce basic geometric concepts, they play a "lightning Flash" card game. Students discuss chores or jobs that require the use of...

Students explain how the food chain works. They contrast predators with prey and describe their function in nature. Students discuss how the food chain aids in keeping nature balanced. In small groups, they play a game that simulates the...

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Students communicate and work in team fashion on defense. They use correct rotations on defense against a fast break or undermanned situation. In addition, they practice footwork drills, triangle shifts and "Three on Two" drills to...

Students play a game designed to give them practice identifying coin names and values. They form two lines with coins spread out in between the teams and when the teacher calls out a coin, the two in front scramble to find the specified...

Learners examine and identify the similarities and differences of two-dimensional shapes. They play an I-Spy shape game, participate in a classroom Shape Search, and create illustrations of shapes for a shape collage.

Young scholars move from one parachute to another, based on a color called out by the teacher. Students attempt to move before the teacher counts to five. Young scholars discuss direction and moving in clockwise and counter clockwise...

Students analyze angles applied to a penalty kick in a soccer game. Based on dimensions of the goal, and the penalty area, students determine where the better chance of scoring lies.

Learners play a variation of the Concentration game to practice math skills matching numbers with visual pictures. They have 20 cards, ten with pictures of items drawn on them. They other ten are numbered. They try to match correct pairs.

Students create their own Chinese tangrams using in-class direction and prior knowledge in this two-day lesson plan for the early elementary classroom. Chinese toys are also explored.

In this algebra worksheet, 9th graders are given an aptitude test on basic mathematical concepts using words problems and real life scenarios. There are 33 problems in this worksheet.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students are provided with questions that are designed to provide SAT test preparation. The one page interactive worksheet contains ten questions. Answers are not provided. 

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...

Students add a new angle to block play with this spatial challenge. In this early childhood math lesson, students use creative-thinking, patterning, visual-spatial, and fine-motor skills to explore the different shapes that can be made...

Students will play several learning games to explore polygons such as triangles, and how to determine the area of triangles and the different types of triangles. They will also explore time zones.

Guide a mummy safely through the burial chambers of a pyramid as you solve length and area problems in basic to advanced geometry. There are four game zones that deal with circles and triangles, quadrilaterals, the Pythagorean Theorem,...
