In this triangle instructional activity, 6th graders draw and cut out a triangle, cut it into three pieces, then arrange the pieces to make new shapes.

In this early childhood comparing plane shapes instructional activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Can your class calculate the area of a regular quadrilateral? They can now, with this handy presentation which provides an explanation, the formula, and examples of finding the area of a regular 2-D shape. 

For this colors and shapes worksheet, students look over a box full of different shapes, color the triangles red, squares blue, rectangles yellow, ovals green, circles purple and the diamonds orange.

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Scientists work every day to find solutions to genetic diseases. Scholars learn about the process of gene sequencing, mutations, and the results. They explore genetic diseases and therapies to intervene and help and, through case...

Tired of blowing up countless balloons to illustrate orbital shapes around an atom? Give your lungs a break and use an interactive instead! Learners observe s, p, d, and f orbitals through the first four energy levels using hydrogen as a...

Rays and angles and Star Wars? It sounds strange, but it's actually a fun game to help fourth graders get good at measuring and identifying angles and rays with a protractor. Each pair of children chooses which Star Wars character they'd...

Here's how to calculate the areas of polygonal figures. In this measuring area lesson, upper graders use hash marks to create and count square units. They also problem solve a cyberchase activity watching Quicktime videos.

A variety of activities take scholars outside the classroom to explore shapes, symmetry, measurement, patterns, sorting, and time in nature. Learners participate individually, and in teams, to measure found objects, go on a...

Have scholars show what they know with a 20-page assessment aligned to the California State Standards. The test covers concepts such as large and whole numbers, all four mathematical operations, fractions, decimals, geometric figures,...

Investigate the attributes of polygons. A thorough set of lessons presents problem scenarios for elementary through high school classes. The first lessons focus on basic characteristics of polygons, including the line of symmetry. As the...

If cubism were a religion, would you follow it? Lower-level tasks focus primarily on counting the number cubes in a structure and relating the number to surface area. As learners progress to higher-level tasks, isometric drawings and...
