Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry lesson plan, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Students sketch and identify properties of pyramids. In this geometry lesson, students create nets to identify three dimensional shapes. They sketch cones, prisms and pyramids.

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

Students solve real life scenarios using math. In this geometry lesson, students collect, predict and interpret data. They measure a chair using different measurements and choose what would make the chair the best design.

Second graders create "Sand Painted teepees" using sand, paper, glue, and information about Native American culture in this 2nd grade Art lesson plan. The lesson plan includes a vocabulary list, a materials list, a resource link, and a...

Students decorate the congruent faces and edges of boxes in exactly the same way. They teach the terms "congruent," "faces," and "edges" to their parents.

Young scholars investigate circles and compound locus. In this geometry lesson, students identify the distance from a point to a line. They use Cabri software to create lines and circles.

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are...

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...

Students will distinguish between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and theorems and investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships.

Understand the step-by-step processes used to create accurate geometric figures.

Students practice constructing scale drawings.

This site explains the possible uses of a compass when drawing. There are numerous exercises for using a compass with links to the solutions - click on the red checkmarks for these. The site discusses mathematicians who contributed to...

This lesson focuses on a different way to construct geometric figures without tools, Origami. The goal is to make objects out of one or more sheets of paper, without any additional tools like glue or scissors. You can create incredibly...

Students use the TI-89 with CABRI Geometry to discover properties of parallelograms. They will construct a figure and use the definition to discover the figure is a parallelogram.

In this task, students must use a straightedge and compass to construct the line across which one triangle was reflected onto another. Aligns with G-CO.A.5 and G-CO.D.12.

Learn how to construct figures in these interactive activities with only a ruler and a compass.

Use this site to find details of how to construct a two column proof. Dr. Math responds to a question posed by a student and details the reasons for the order of steps and shows two different ways to do the same proof.

"The volume of a cube can be developed by considering unit cubes, a single row (longs) of unit cubes or a single layer (flats) of cubes using this applet." This easy software makes it possible to easily construct a cube and take it...
