Building Blocks of Geometry
In this geometry worksheet, students answer questions about midpoints, distance, lines and segments. They are given different shapes and asked to calculate the angles, and sides of polygons.
Curated OER
Discovering Pi
Learners 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 .
Curated OER
Conduction, Convection, Radiation, Oh My!
Students draw a line graph, and use graphing as a tool to discover more about conduction, convection and radiation. They should design their own experiment using heat sensitive paper to show they explain these 3 processes.

Polyhedra
Learners analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes lesson, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces and edges.
Curated OER
Proving Pythagoras
Students prove the theorem of Pythagoras. For this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students define the different parts of a right triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing sides and angles of a right triangle.
Curated OER
Circles to Spheres
Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.
Curated OER
Investigating Volume
Students investigate the components of volume and use appropriate units and procedures to calculate the volume of several household boxes.

Commutative Property
First graders investigate the Commutative Property of Addition. It is introduced using models such as students, counters, balances and dominoes. They discover the order of the numbers in an addition sentence does not change the result...
Curated OER
Surface Area and Volume of Similar Solids
Students explore similar figures. In this surface area and volume lesson plan, students identify the relationship between the surface area and volume of similar figures.
Curated OER
Counting by Making Groups
First graders represent, compare, and order numbers. In this counting skills lesson, 1st graders use manipulatives to demonstrate one-to-one correspondence and to represent numbers. This lesson includes a teacher script to guide the lesson.
Curated OER
Hop To It!
Pupils explore the aspects of a frog's anatomy that allow it to be such a good jumper and jump and record the length of each jump to determine which style of jumping allows them to jump the farthest.
Curated OER
Exploring Area/Perimeter Through Coordinate Geometry
Students explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.
Curated OER
Why are Bubbles Spheres
Young scholars calculate the surface area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students practice calculating the volume of spheres. They work with cones, cylinders and rectangular prisms.
Curated OER
It's a 3-D World Out There!
Students construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Students use K'NEX materials sets to...
