Students observe cloud formations during a trip outdoors prior to reading Tomie dePaola's , "The Cloud Book." Using cotton, they make models of the four main cloud shapes and mount them on blue construction paper. As an ongoing project,...

Fourth graders examine mirror symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, 4th graders discover that symmetry is not always vertical or horizontal. Students cut and fold shapes along lines of symmetry.

Practice reading coordinate planes with a series of graphing worksheets. Kids read questions about symbols and shapes on specific coordinates, then use the answer section to indicate which shape in on the desired coordinates.

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, students are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry lesson plan, young scholars calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent...

A series of geometry worksheets have mathematicians constructing, dissecting, overlapping, and measuring as they analyze angles in various contexts. Learners use symmetry and reflections in a compass rose to write instructions on...

Young artists learn to build rhythm into a design by repeating colors, shapes, and patterns in a 3-D sculpture activity.

Mathematicians calculate the area of a tangram piece without using formulas. They use a geometry journal to record activities during this lesson. They make a set of tangrams and use them to compute area. They use...

Here you will find a model of a linear relationship between two quantities, the water depth of a channel and the distance across the channel at water level. The cross section of the channel is the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The...

A fun worksheet from Jolly Phonics is a great way to teach kids about the alphabet and blended sounds. The worksheet prompts kids to move and make sounds according to the letters, such as puffing out candles for the letter P, or...

Matching number sentences to their visual equivalents may seem easy, but there is a trick here to keep your learners thinking about math properties. As they examine the numerical forms of six addition problems, they must...

Some items keep their shape no matter what happens! Have your kindergarten class choose which items would stay the same if they were bent, stretched, or squashed. The last activity prompts kids to see what happens when they stretch a...

Explore the mathematics of the paper snowflake! During the five lessons progressing in complexity from K through 12, pupils use spatial geometry to make predictions. Scholars consider a folded piece of paper with shapes cut out....

To conclude their study of James McBride's The Color of Water, class members create their own memoir, focusing on a family member who help shape their life.

Compare sizes of student footprints with those of elephants and sauropod dinosaurs! Upper graders make estimations of the areas of irregular shapes; students use grids to make and explain estimates within low and high ranges.

In this transformations and translations in Geometry worksheet, learners use geometric shapes and grids to translate six transformations in each of two activities.

Send your kids on an egg hunt with this hip-hopping game! The packet includes two pages to glue on a piece of cardboard to make the game board, items to glue to the board to create hiding places for the eggs, plenty of eggs to hide, and...

Finding the area of a rectangle is the focus of this metric worksheet. Here, mathematicians use their knowledge of finding the area of a shape in meters to discover how much material can fit inside a shape.

Stop the summer lag with a set of second grade Common Core based math practice sheets. Learners fill in hundreds charts with missing numbers up to 1,000. They practice writing numbers in standard, expanded, and word form. Children also...

There is more than one way to measure an amount, as learners discover by applying multiple measurement tools in these activities. Centimeter cubes, cylinders, beakers, and measuring cups are used to find the volume of regular and...

Create tomatoes in 15-20 minutes using this fun and interactive lesson plan! Learners listen to a book about tomatoes (recommendations listed), and focus on the vocabulary word tomato. They count the syllables...

As you introduce graphs and coordinate pairs, use this guided activity to get scholars started. They reference an example before recording number pairs to identify the location of 12 letters on a grid. Next, learners examine shapes on a...

Triangles and prisms don't stand a chance when your learners use this handout full of the formulas they need to know about the different shapes. Area, volume, and surface formulas are all covered along with the standard measurement and...

Scholars can use area formulas, but can they apply what they know about area? The lesson challenges learners to think logically while practicing finding area of shapes such as rectangles, circles, parallelograms, triangles, and other...
