Students examine different types of non-standard measurement. In this measuring lesson, students utilize their fingers, palms and feet as measuring tools. Students discuss the difference between measuring using parts of their body and...

Students explore the concept of transformations. For this transformations lesson, students construct an equilateral triangle and a square with a circumscribed circle. Students reflect and rotate their constructions.

Fifth graders reorganize comic strips to have them make sense, complete outline and organize their thoughts into outline form to explain directions, and use that outline to complete their own directions for geometry activities.

High schoolers write and solve equations converting between metric and standard measurement as they travel southeast on the Al-Can Highway.

Learners design a community with minimal environmental impact. They rate each other's community's presentation using the "Planning and Zoning Commission Rating Scale".

Young scholars create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be...

Students determine sources and extent of ground water contaminate, apply mathematics to model in real world simulation, and use technology to present results.

Students identify and analyze geographical locations of inventors. They each identify where their inventor is from on a U.S. map, discuss geographic patterns, and create a t-chart and graph using the Graph Club 2.0 Software.

Pupils play a game and collect data for their graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve quadratic equations and identify properties of their graph. They describe the pattern created by the graph and the game.

Students create scale drawings, and ultimately scale models, of real-world objects in this Math lesson about ratios, proportion, scaling factors, and cross products. The lesson includes ideas for cross-curricular extensions and is...

In this biology worksheet, students use their mathematical skills to create a three dimensional scale model of an ancient insect. They draw a diagram of their insect and label it with as much information as possible.

Students identify, extend and create patterns using various types of manipulatives and then work a pattern game in the computer lab to reinforce what was learned.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Fourth graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this pattern lesson, 4th graders analyze two separate pattern block shapes and discuss which one is bigger and smaller. Students collaborate in small groups to create...

Learners learn about productive resources along with their requirements, supply and demand, savings, investments and interest rates. In this supply and demand lesson, students create a career plan and personal budget of their own and...
