Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson that focuses on the concept of finding the prime factorization of a number. They write the answer using exponential notation. Students play a game of Bingo to keep engaged during the lesson.

Eighth graders participate in the mini-metric Olympics. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders solve real-world problems that require them to calculate length, area, and volume in metric units.

Learners design a proportional model of blood out of red gelatin, a plastic bag, and rice. They study the components that make up blood and investigate what happens when the arteries in different scenerios. They work in pairs in order to...

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area activity, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

Ninth graders explain how wind can produce electricity. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders construct their own pin wheel turbine and calculate its power. They discuss the pros and cons of using wind generator.

Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes.  Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties.  They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and...

Young scholars discuss the concepts of reflection, rotation, and translation. In this rotation activity, students investigate rotations through examples on an overhead projector. No additional worksheet or student assignment is included.

Bring a set of pre-lab, lab, and post-lab lesson plans on volcanoes to your earth science unit. Sixth graders explore the three types of volcanoes found on Earth, plot the specific locations of these volcanoes on a map, and...

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.
