Fourth graders develop problem solving skills while learning to measure an athletic track. The focus upon logic and reasoning is helpful for all types of science and math calculations.

Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper.  Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. ...

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Young scholars create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.

Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.

Fourth graders are introduced to the vocabulary needed to identify the attributes of two and three-dimensional figures. They work together to create a word wall, which contains the geometric terminology being learned.

Students complete a chart (KWL) as a pre-assessment, study the history of tessellations (tilings), investigate the properties of tessellations, and make and evaluate photographs of "found tessellations" for a PowerPoint/HyperStudio...

Students reconstruct an ancient Greek sculpture using various geometric forms and explore different geometric forms. They create an abstract human form out of geometric shapes and create other representations out of the same shapes.

Students recycle discarded automobile tires and create gardening sites for limited space areas.

Students view different pieces of art from artist Candida Alvarez. They discuss what the art means to them. They create their own mobiles showing what they would like out of their education.

Students study the sense of touch and various degrees of heat. They design a model that displays how the human hand reacts to heat using a touch sensor.

Students are introduced to plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane seen several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas

Students complete a variety of bear-related activities. They sort and graph teddy bears, distinguish between real and non-real bears and research bear life cycles and habitats.

Learn all about the basic geometric constructions in this test prep lesson. You will explore line segments and points, and understand key terms like the terms parallel and perpendicular. Construction activities and interactive online...

This is a "three star" geometry problem where prior math problem skills and proof experience is recommended to solve this "Perpendicular Construction" problem.

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...

Construct a copy of a line segment in this interactive exercise.

Discovering the properties of constructions, seeing proofs in action, and viewing problems come to life here with this wonderful use of technology in the classroom. Single steps are explained and illustrated one at a time so that the...

An urban planner needs your help in creating a scale drawing. Let's use our knowledge about scale factor, length, and area to assist. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students how to construct perpendicular bisectors and use the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem.

In this activity, students will practice some of the basic functions of the Cabri Geometry software, including use of the Pointer, Point, Line, Measure, and Construct toolbars.

In this activity, students use the Geometer's Sketchpad application to construct Euler's Line, Pythagorean Proof, and Fermat's point. They also investigate the concept of perimeter.

In this activity, students use the Cabri software to mark points, draw lines, construct parallel and perpendicular lines, angles, bisectors, and triangles. They learn how to use the tool to measure angles.

The middle schoolers will be split into small, cooperative groups and build a city following specific guidelines. The students will learn how a city is constructed with angles, intersections, parallel, intersecting, and transversal...
