Sixth graders discover the patterns of sums of polygon angles. In this math lesson, 6th graders study the properties of geometric shapes to solve problems as they participate in hands-on activities.

Students study patterns. They construct growing patterns using pattern blocks and isosceles right triangles. They verbally describe the patterns and state the rule that describes the relationship involving the number of pattern blocks...

Students complete five center activities that in order to determine the attributes of length and area. They study the vocabulary associated with measurement of length and area. They use blocks, play dough, wrapping paper, and footprints...

Students explore math functions by completing math equation worksheets. In this inequality lesson, students define a list of math terms and discuss the difference between an equation and inequality. Students utilize a real life situation...

Students construct a spacecraft out of Lego blocks and other materials. They work on their models in small groups while building. They become familar with the planets while working cooperatively.

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes, and discuss map skills and attributes. They plan and create their own school campus maps using pre-cut building site shapes.

Students are assigned to shape groups and explore three-dimensional shapes. They review math skills and two-dimensional shapes.

Third graders explore the attributes of 3-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 3rd graders examine faces, edges, and vertices of 3-dimensional shapes as they construct shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.

It's test time! Determine your class's understanding of the topics of volume and cross sections with a thorough assessment on volume, area, and geometric shapes.

Practice composing and decomposing numbers in base-ten using three word problems. Each problem presents a different scenario requiring learners to explain their thinking, find the number of ones, and find out different ways to make a...

Take finding volume of 3-D figures to the next level. In the 22nd lesson of the series, learners find the volume of composite solids. The lesson the asks them to deconstruct the composites into familiar figures and use volume formulas.

Kindergartners listen to a story read by their teacher, then use magnetic shape pieces to construct simple designes. They "build" their own house using pre-cut paper shapes. This age-appropriate lesson would be an excellent choice for...

Tenth graders conduct various activities utilizing the scientific method to formulate a hypothesis, conduct a controlled experiment, collect and analyze the data and communicate their results through a poster. They also identify...

How many ways can you make the number 124 using only tens and ones? Use a task that prompts young mathematicians to make 124 in as many ways as possible.

Fifth graders are engaged in sorting and classifying geometric shapes of various colors and sizes. They discuss the properties of these shapes and illustrate a range of classifications using Venn diagrams.

Students identify basic two-dimensional shapes. They are able to identify the four basic two-dimensional shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. Students write/draw in their learning logs a reflection of what they noticed...

Third graders create art using shapes. In this shapes and patterns instructional activity, 3rd graders explore multiple ways of combining shapes to create new objects and art.

Students investigate the concept of perimeter. They design there own figure and measure the perimeter of it. The lesson is given the context of the shape being a path that is traveled by a ladybug. This provides the shape of the plane...

Learners explore the characteristics of geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson plan, students use tiles to draw pentominoes. Learners participate in various learning center activities focused on configuring pentominoes.

Pupils identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. In this three-dimensional figures lesson, students  build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Pupils then...

Students classify objects that are similar by one attribute. They explain what a pattern is and how to make a pattern using objects.

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.

First graders study the attributes of circles, squares, triangles and rectangles. They sort shapes that are the same and those that are different into groups.

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...
