Fourth graders recognize and classify geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, 4th graders read the books Shape Up and The Greedy Triangle and prepare a short report on the shapes mentioned in the text. Students compare the...

Is it half? There are three sections to this introductory fractions learning exercise focusing on halves. First graders begin by coloring half of five basic shapes, each of which already is divided into two parts. Next, they examine four...

Fourth graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this pattern lesson, 4th graders analyze two separate pattern block shapes and discuss which one is bigger and smaller. Students collaborate in small groups to create...

Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes that...

First graders identify various shapes in everyday objects. in pairs, 1st graders go on a shape field trip to locate various objects of different shapes. They photograph the objects and later use the prints to write sentences describing...

Learners create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.

Students explore quantum physics by participating in several class activities. In this space-time lesson, students discuss the concepts of time traveling and the anatomy of an atom. Students draw geometric figures and utilize string to...

First graders explore geometric shapes. In this math instructional activity, 1st graders sort shapes into groups and discuss the characteristics of the shapes. Students build geometric shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.

Students create a new playground design to present to elementary students during Playground safety week. They review basic geometry to use in observing and recording the equipment on a local playground. They research playground safety...

Learners investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Third graders complete a classroom game used to build understanding of two and three-dimensional shapes. Diagonals, sides, regularity, congruency, angle measurements, parallels, perpendicular, faces, and edges are a few of the vocabulary...

Students use a dictionary to gather appropriate information for writing simple definitions. They recognize prefixes that relate to numbers, such as mono-, bi-, and tri-. Pupils use their creative abilities to extrapolate new words to...

Young scholars collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Students identify and interpret the function, usefulness or utitlity, form, beauty or aesthetics, and meaning, context or story, of objects and how they learn new skills and make things that they learn traditionally, by observation and...

Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics instructional activity, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create...

In this permutations worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 5 different types of problems. First, they write a simple conceptual art plan with no more than 3 instructions. Then, students use graph paper and a pencil to draw a plan....

Second graders are introduced to geometry by a teacher made puppet called Geo George.
