Fifth graders review EOG math terms and definitions found in their math notebooks, and pick between 15 and 20 words to put in a word search.

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring lesson, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure different objects...

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Seventh graders will compare the formula for the area of a regular polygon to discover the formula for the area of a circle.

Students will compare areas of different polygons with a fixed perimeter and find the shape that gives the maximum area

In this activity, students find the area of regular polygons using a summation approach and compare the summations with area calculated by Cabri Geometry Application. They also examine patterns of finding area and perimeter as the number...
