Seventh graders investigate geometric shapes using tessellations. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders practice tessellations using different shapes. They create different designs using tessellations.

Students explore the concept of problem solving strategies. In this problem solving strategies lesson, students discuss methods for solving problems such as re-reading a problem, stating the facts, drawing a picture and so on. Students...

Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.

Students analyze interior design as a profession. In this interior design lesson, students design their own dream bedroom and explore interior design as a profession. Students draw a scaled drawing using graph paper and appropriate...

In this math worksheet, students practice constructing reflections of shapes already present in a grid-based graph. This simple worksheet has 12 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Students add up the different angles using the angle addition postulate. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between interior and exterior angles. They calculate the different angles for triangles and use proof to show their...

Young scholars explore mathematical applications of the current intra-city World Series. After learning how one school district is incorporating the World Series in its classrooms, students consider possible applications of the Series in...

Students distinguish between circles, squares, and rectangles and various colors in which they utilize the KidPix program on the computer to create them. They alternate; allowing each student to have a turn constructing and coloring in...

Fifth graders gain an appreciation for mandalas in many cultures. Compare and contrast designs from many cultures. They see geometric design in mandalas and become aware of symmetrical balance and radial balance. They create a mandala...

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

Students explore the concept of molecular modeling and differentiate between saturated and unsaturated compounds. In small groups, they identify molecular formulas, complete a chart comparing alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, and construct...

Students investigate geometric shapes through volume and dimensions. For this geometry lesson, students measure, weigh, and calculate sizes and volume based on estimation and calculation. They review important vocabulary related to...

What do your pupils know about quilting? Read and discuss the information included here before sending class members off to create their own quilt blocks using construction paper. When they have completed their blocks, provide some time...

Fifth graders examine multiplication. They construct arrays to demonstrate specific multiplication facts. They identify examples and non-examples of arrays. Students use counters to model the commutative property of multiplication.

Sixth graders identify prime and composite numbers and complete an activity problem. Given a 100 chart, they follow directions to create a prime number chart. In groups, 6th graders play a "Prime Take Away" activity to reinforce prime...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

Sixth graders explore the use of shapes to create geometric patterns. they start with a simple example of dividing shapes in half to create two new ones. This can be extended to creating intricate patterns.

Students explore for water on Mars using impact crater morphology. During this lab, students: investigate how to use the equation writing and graphing capabilities in Microsoft Excel, then develop and apply an impact crater...

Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of designing and building large scale buildings. They conduct research using the internet and other resources in order to apply mathematics and architectural design principals in...

In this radiation worksheet, students calculate the distance of a satellite in orbit to determine the placement of a radiation detection device. This worksheet has 2 problems to solve.

Students assign numbers to describe objects. In this number lesson, students assign numbers to objects and compare more, less, and equal values. They write down descriptions of plants including the number of leaves and height of the...

Learners explore the concept of geometric shapes. For this geometric shape lesson, students play bingo to review geometric shapes. Learners identify the shape being described by the teacher and put a marker on their bingo card.

Second graders explore the features of triangles and quadrilaterals. In this lesson plan on triangles and quadrilaterals, 2nd graders rotate with their group to five different activities all exploring a different aspect of geometry.
