Students investigate triangles and congruences. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. They differentiate between similar and congruent triangles.

Students study the butterfly life cycle. In this interdisciplinary life cycles instructional activity, students study the life cycle of a butterfly, their migration habits, and the culture of the region in Mexico where butterflies...

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Students manipulate and interpret large numbers expressed in the "exponent" format of scientific notation.

Learners read, "TheDoorbell Rang" by Pat Hutchins and relate this story to a time when they had to share something equally between friends or family members. They then complete a worksheet in which they represent sharing situations using...

Students explore the application of Hinge Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students write inequalities, given two sides of a triangle. They solve problems with triangular inequalities using the proper theorem.

Students solve for the area and perimeter of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify repeated patterns and create formula to solve problems. They make conjectures and prove hypotheses.

Students create spreadsheets and bar graphs based on results of survey of favorite holidays.

Sixth graders explore how to present research information on a PowerPoint Presentation.

Learners analyze the graphs of polynomial functions, examine vocabulary associated with polynomials, and determine the maximum number of real roots possible for a polynomial

Students use Kidspiration and on online activity to demonstrate comprehension of ordinal and temporal concepts of "first, next, last," and "before" and "after." They name temporal or ordinal positions using correct vocabulary.

Young scholars graph a linear inequality and describe its solution set. They solve a system of linear equalities graphically and symbolically. Students set up and solve a system of linear inequalities using linear programming...

Students identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Students investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry instructional activity, students build a fractal tree. They investigate different career fields where fractals are used in the real world.

Students explore the classification system of organisms: taxonomy. They examine prepared slides of Protozoans and record information on a Taxonomy Recording Sheet. Two additional classifying activities are also included in this lesson.

Students use "Interactive Physics Program" to develop a bridge similar to their physical model. They may choose to redesign their bridges completely. They design a simulation that test the amount of stress their bridge can withstand.

Students investigate the changes of attitudes about Women's suffrage over the passage of time. They read a background on the fight for women's suffrage and its eventual success in the United States and also around the world.

Students study the history of flight of the past one hundred years, focusing on the invention of the airplane, the introduction of women pilots and the space race. They conduct research and then write and publish a "100 Years of Flight"...

Students examine the differences between biotic and abiotic factors, explain the difference between habitat and niche and compare how organisms get their nutritional needs.  In this local environment lesson students trace the path...

Students calculate the distance from the vertex of a triangle to the center. In this geometry lesson, students find the shortest distance between a point and the vertex of a triangle. They relate this concept of distance to the real world.

Students explore oil field applications of Shape Memory Alloys.  In this engineering lesson plan students divide into groups and research mini research applications then complete a project. 

Fourth graders demonstrate proper finger placement on the keyboard and beginning keyboard techniques (shift key for capitals and symbols, tab to indent, number/caps lock, identify home row keys, anchor fingers to home row, use two hands...

Fifth graders demonstrate their understanding of tessellations by watching a teacher prepared Powerpoint presentation and completing an activity. The students work independently to identify tessellations.

Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet instructional activity students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets.
