Students explore a math concept. In this math lesson, students practice matching a number with its corresponding word. Students can work independently or with teacher help.

Eighth graders investigate Newton's Law of Inertia in order to create a context for the review of the use of different types of graphs. They practice gathering the data from an experiment and put it into the correct corresponding graph.

Your class will use a TI calculator to drag vertices of rectangles and triangles to observe what happens to ratios of pairs of sides within each figure. They will apply the definition of similarity to identify similar shapes. The lesson...

Learners engage in a lesson plan that is about the classification of triangles and the mathematical proofs involved in working with them. They work on a variety of problems that are created by the teacher with the focus upon the...

Students investigate spherical geometry using a globe and an apple. In this spherical geometry lesson plan, students translate Euclidean geometry terms to spherical geometry terms using a globe. They answer 3 questions about spherical...

Students study the formation of metamorphic rock. In this metamorphic rock lesson, students examine how metamorphic rock forms as part of the rock cycle. They review the rock cycle using chocolate chips, conduct Internet research, and...

Pupils will analyze scales as related to models and real life in this geometry lesson plan. They work together to compare the dimensions on a model as compared to the real building.

Students relate Pi to a circle. In this circles lesson, students identify the different properties of two dimensional objects. They relate Pi to the circumference, diameter and area of a circle .

Seventh graders determine whether two triangles are congruent and provide an explanation to why they are not. They apply concepts of measurement of angles and collect evidence of congruent angles in the world.

Students determine that two figures are similar or congruent by investigating figures that are similar and figures that are congruent. They prove that two figures are similar or congruent by using definitions, postulates, and theorems.

Young scholars understand the parts of the terrarium and why they are important in establishing an ecosystem. In this ecosystem lesson, young scholars recall background information on aquariums, terrariums and the water cycle. Young...

Students use the inequality theorem to solve triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students are given spaghetti of different lengths and asked to create triangles. They conclude the necessary length needed to make a...

Tenth graders explore congruent triangles.  In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders investigate the conditions necessary to prove two triangles are congruent by SSS, ASA, AAS, or SAS. 

Students investigate ratios of various objects.  For this ratios of various objects lesson, students draw pictures on graph paper and then dilate or shrink the image.  Students determine the ratio of their pictures. ...

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

Young scholars build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

In this system of equations worksheet, students use systems of equations and Euler's method to calculate the population of hares and foxes. They plot and interpret their results. This one-page worksheet contains three multi-step...

Could you determine longitude based on measuring time? Early explorers used a longitude clock to do just that. Scholars learn about early exploration and the importance of the invention of the clock. Then pupils build their own longitude...

Students create identify properties of trapezoids. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the area of given trapezoids and review the area formula for parallelograms. They draw a correlation between the area of a...

Students solve related addition and subtraction problems. In this addition and subtraction lesson, students use the book Ten Sly Piranhas by William Wise as the source of word problems for students to solve.

Students sort a bag of M&M's by colors and solve a variety of comparison problems. They determine which pile of M&M's has the most, the least, and answer questions comparing two piles. Students also order the piles of M&M's...

In this residue theorem worksheet, students find the maximum and minimum values of functions. They use Cauchy's Residue Theorem to evaluate integrals of functions. This two-page worksheet contains eleven multi-step equations.

Fifth graders investigate the interchangeable relationship betweeen fractions and percents. They discuss the concepts using teacher provided questions. Then sutdents work in cooperative groups to maximize scaffolding.
