Twelfth graders build a model of the following figures with the base from column I and the cross-section from column II. Draw the base with labeled axes on the graph paper and construct the figure on top of the base with the play dough...

Students create a spreadsheet that calculate the amount of concrete needed to pour various concrete forms.

Students identify and define properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing sides and angles of right triangles. They use the rules of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve their problems.

Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry activity, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using problem solving...

Young scholars identify map projections and examine polar maps. In this map skills lesson, students use a flat world map to identify various projections and calculate the distances between locations by using a map scale.

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  In this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

Young scholars access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to...

Learners explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Learners examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students establish a grid system over an archaelogical site. They label each grid unit. They determine the location of artifacts within each grid unit. They construct a scientific inquiry concerning the location of artifacts on the site.

Students explore the elements of contrast, emphasis, pattern, and color schemes by identifying how the artist manipulated tesserae in the mosaic. They create original mosaics by manipulating torn paper to depict different textures and...

Learners explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

Pupils examine the centroid of a triangle as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and its medians. The dynamic nature of the software allows learners to measure the lengths of the segments in the triangle and conjecture and verify...

High schoolers explore the concept of right triangles as they construct a right triangle using Cabri Jr. Learners find the midpoint of the hypotenuse and construct a line from the midpoint to the vertex of the right angle. They then...

Students complete a unit of activities to learn about states of matter and how to measure matter. In this matter lesson plan, students complete 8 lessons to learn about matter, its states, and how to measure matter.

Students investigate how geometry can be used in the field of fitness and physical performance. They view a video that demonstrates how doctors and therapists mention geometry as they treat sports-related injuries.

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