Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.

In this brainstorming worksheet learners will analyze tasks in order to focus on quick thinking. Students will alphabetize words, list zoo animals, construct a mathematical equation, and complete analogies.

In this polygon activity, students identify similar polygons and corresponding sides. They use a compass and ruler to construct polygons, determine the sum of the angles in a given polygon. There are 4 multi-step problems in this...

In his making shapes and describing their features activity, students use rectangles to make a hexagon and an octagon. In this drawing activity, students construct a minimum of two patterns.

In this shapes and their features worksheet, students construct triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and heptagons using four designated shapes. In this problem solving worksheet, students create as many of the types of shapes...

In this making word stories learning exercise, students use addition problems to create word problems. In this short answer learning exercise, students construct two word problems.

Students recognize that data represents specific pieces of information about real-world activities, such as the census. In this census lesson, students take a class and school-wide census and construct tally charts and bar graphs to...

Student make bird feeders and describe feeding behaviors. In this bird feeder lesson plan, students construct simple bird feeders. They then put them outside and observe the feeding behaviors of birds. Then they graph the number of birds...

Learners explore lines of symmetry in geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students construct angles using mirrors and rubberbands, then predict the number of images that will appear in the reflection. Learners reproduce lines of...

In this sunspots and climate change learning exercise, learners use a diagram of a tree stump and its rings to determine the age of the tree. They use sunspot data from the internet and they construct an Excel spreadsheet to compare the...

In this Moon travel worksheet, students construct a simple rocket trajectory called the Hohmann Transfer orbit using a compass, string, paper and a pencil. Students solve 2 problems which include finding the number of hours it takes to...

Students explore the benefits of recycling paper. In this recycling lesson, students use statistics to calculate the amount of paper that is thrown away each week and construct a graph. Students analyze the data and calculate the...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders investigate and solve various logic problems including the constructions and use of two way tables and Venn diagrams to assist in problem solving.  The eleven page worksheet contains nine...

Students construct their own water filter to obtain clean water. In this filtration lesson, students produce tainted water in order to properly filter it with filtration devices made in class.

Learners explore the concept of area and perimeter. In this area and perimeter lesson plan, students construct miniature houses. Learners determine the area and perimeter of their model in order to buy glue, carpet, and wall paper.

Students investigate energy using a photovoltaic cell. For this electricity lesson, students collect data from current-voltage and power-voltage curves to determine if photovoltaic systems have an advantage over conventional electric...

Fourth graders construct data graphs on the Microsoft Excel program. In this statistics activity, 4th graders formulate questions and collect data. Students represent their results by using Excel.

  Students collect several 'diversity beans' and sort them into piles based on the color of the beans and if they believe they will enjoy the flavor concluded from the outside appearance.  In this diversity lesson, students...

Students construct three different graphs-a line graph, a bar graph, and a circle graph.  In this graphing lesson, students use different graphs to display various data that they collect. 

In this circles and parabolas worksheet, students follow directions to draw parabolas. They fold paper to represent a parabola. Students also use straight lines to create a circle. This one page worksheet contains three multi-step...

Students experiment and discuss circuits and how they work. In this science lesson, students construct a telegraph machine using cardboard, wires, battery, electric tape and masking tape. They investigate what happens as the circuits...

Students measure angles using a protractor. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve for the missing angles using equations set to the theorem of triangles. They measure missing angles through construction and identify congruent angles.

Seventh graders interpret data. In this lesson on types of graphs, 7th graders construct, interpret, and analyze different graphs. This lesson includes worksheets and resources.
