In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students measure the angles of a milk carton. They identify and label acute, right, and obtuse angles. Using appropriate tools, students determine the volume of a cube or a rectangular prism. Students complete worksheets to...

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. In groups, they create and decorate their own polyhedron design. After identifying the faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron, 6th graders determine a relationship between the...

Pupils discuss the appropriateness of using a specific tool to measure and define an object. After measuring the area of their classroom and the objects in it with the appropriate tools, they create a floor plan that makes the most...

Students discuss accuracy and the need for it in blueprints in order to create the final project. They further refine and perfect drawings as part of the school drawing project. Students create a blueprint for the new school building...

Middle schoolers convert recipes for tortillas. They calculate the amounts of ingredients as they convert recipes and write an explanation of the task to demonstrate their calculations. After reviewing their calculations, they...

Young scholars solve right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this solving right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students find the missing side of a right triangle.  Young scholars find the hypotenuse...

First graders write "I Can" statements to tell what they can do to help their community. They write the statements on a train car that has a number written on it. They share their statements in order of the number of their train car...

Students look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...

Students practice solving equations adding decimals and integers. Using a worksheet, they identify which pair of numbers goes correctly with the problem. They review their answers and are graded based a rubric given to them.

Students practice planning budgets as they create a budget for ten employees of a company to attend a professional convention. They use the Internet, and spreadsheet software to complete their assignment.

Students determine the level of accuracy needed for computations involving measurements and irrational numbers. They use the correct number of digits in computation to achieve an appropriate unit or level of accuracy when solving...

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Fourth graders complete activities to study decimal numbers. In this decimal numbers lesson, 4th graders study decimal numbers to express numbers less than one and intervals. Students complete map and location activities to study the...

Ninth graders solve linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders investigate the properties of equations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive, Substitution, and Transformation Properties) and use these properties to solve...

Learners review graphing and use processing skills to solve problems.

Students place fractions and decimals with unlike values in correct numerical order.

Learners identify the value of each coin type and then use a code to assign each letter of the alphabet to the value of the coins. They add coin combinations to determine the value of their name.

Students use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve problems.
