Pupils visualize distance-rate-time problems by using bar models. The lesson plan presents examples of four different types of rate problems and shows how they can be solved using bar models and equations. Each example is...

With a creative premise involving a basketball competition, this game could be used to review basic science, grammar and math concepts in a fourth or fifth grade classroom. It is a fun idea, and a motivating way to review information....

In this 3D shapes worksheet, students cut out the 3D shape on the page and fold on the lines to create the correct shape. The worksheet states which shape should be build with the cut-out.

In this 3-D objects and common solids learning exercise, students cut out and count the number of faces on several different types of boxes and make a cuboid from straws or a card. Students fill out 4 different categories involving 5...

Real-life math is really great! In groups, learners measure objects in the classroom. After comparing measurements, they determine a scale and create a blueprint of the classroom. They discuss the purpose of using scale drawings in...

Math wizards begin the instructional activity by comparing and ordering rational numbers. Using a number line, they discover the relationship between the numbers and practice ordering them in the correct way. They also review proper...

Students solve real-world problems related to medical careers. They use graphical representations as part of the problem-solving process and work with fractions, decimals, exponents, and metric measurement. A demonstration is included to...

Middle and high schoolers explore the concepts of architectural rigidity. They analyze a variety of polygons, and explain why some shapes add more strength to structures than others. The PBS video, "Building Big," is utilized in this plan.

Geometric patterns illuminate this colorful and interactive PowerPoint. First, patterns must be identified. Next, students discern the missing color in a block pattern. Lastly, they observe a figure to determine how many blocks are used....

Students investigate Euler's Formula. In this geometry lesson, students perform an inductive activity of Euler's Formula using nets to identify a variety of prism, pyramids, cylinders, and cones.

In this cone worksheet, learners cut out, fold and assemble a solid figure of a cone by using the net provided on this page. No written directions are given.

Students participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

Learners play a game with shapes. They work in groups to identify the names and characteristics of various shapes. They give each other clues to see if others can identify the shape being described. This is a great hands on activity.

Shape one's understanding of geometry using the resource. The sixth of seven chapters in 6th Grade Math focuses on geometry principles. Future mathematicians learn to find the area of parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, and other...

If we stack up all the cross sections of a figure, does it create the figure? Pupils make the connection between the complete set of cross sections and the solid. They then view videos in order to see how 3D printers use Cavalerie's...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

In this math worksheet, students find the measurements of angles created by intersecting lines. Students are first presented with two intersecting lines, then a pair of parallel lines with one intersecting line. The second page has an...

In this math learning exercise, students compute the median of sets of numbers. They create box and whisker plots. Students identify the median, upper and lower quartiles, and minimum/maximum amounts. On the last page of this learning...

Aspiring astronauts graph, interpret, and analyze data. They investigate the relationship between two variables in a problem situation. Using both graphic and symbolic representations they will grasp the concept of line of best fit to...

In this math worksheet, students label sides of right triangles as opposite, hypotenuse, and adjacent to the labeled angle. On the second page of the worksheet, students label the part of the right triangle marked with a question mark...

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area lesson, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to make a...

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...
