A variation of a standard graphic organizer for a five-paragraph essay, young writers may find this style of organization helpful while drafting their writing. Some key features of this particular organizer are sections for transition...

Third graders examine two-dimensional objects and create a 3-D image of the object. They make models of the Taj Mahal and buildings in Delhi.

Properties in measurement, pressure and viscosity of solids, liquids, and gases are the main topics covered in this slideshow. The explanations of Pascal's, Bernoulli's, and the Venturi effects are very clear. Easy to understand diagrams...

How do you know you know? Prove it! The guide goes through several examples and includes a link to a video to teach learners how to work through coordinate proofs. The goal is to prove that different shapes are indeed that shape. 

Learners locate lines of symmetry in regular polygons and predict the number of lines of symmetry in an octagon. In three different polygons, they construct all lines of symmetry and after making their prediction about the octagon,...

Students, as a final project, draw a picture of their ideal neighborhood on a sunny day. In addition to the sun, their drawings include homes, trees, streets, and selected objects. Each object in their drawing has a written description...

Students investigate spheres through sketches. For this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

In this polygon worksheet, students find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon. They determine the perimeter of equilateral figures, identify concave and convex figures and explore the characteristics of equilateral, equiangular...

In this shape identification worksheet, students mark the correct answer to each of 4 multiple choice questions while working on-line. They choose from 4 choices as they identify a square, triangle, circle, and rectangle. They print the...

Students discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Young scholars participate in investigating why the term "magical" is representative of mathematics in general. As the one common language of the world math is magical. To assist students in understanding this magic and to bring...

First graders explore different types of Native American shelters. In this Native American homes lesson, 1st graders compare the shapes of shelters used by Native Americans. They build a home using the program "Community Construction...

Learners solve four short answer problems. They determine the number of each color of candy or paper clip in a bag, and calculate the fractional, decimal, and percentage representation of the color compared to the total number of items.

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Students discuss strategies for estimating information about various shapes. Once they draw and label four shapes with perimeters of 30 units, they calculate the areas of the figures. To complete the lesson, students offer written...

In this improper integral worksheet, students determine the convergence or divergence of functions. They explore the sequence in the series. This one-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Learners take turns shooting baskets and creating scatterplots based on the data. They create two graphs and look for possible correlation in the data for each graph.

Fourth graders use inductive reasoning to find algebraic patterns in geometric figures. They use technology (i.e., calculators, computers) and manipulatives to discover number patterns involving geometric concepts. They solve concrete...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Students name and sketch numerical expressions. For this order of operation lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide using the correct order of operation. They perform four specific calculations for their motivation lesson.

Pupils solve problems with consecutive integers. In this counting lesson, students create formulas for odd and even consecutive integers. They complete a worksheet, homework and work problems on the board.

Learners construct tangram pieces. Then they make observations and explore patterns with the pieces.

Students investigate the concepts of area and perimeter with the use of chocolate bars. They calculate the perimeter and area of different size rectangle chocolate bars and record the statistics. Then students make a visual comparison...
