Students are asked to describe to a partner how he or she walks to school or the bus stop. They are shown on the overhead an one-inch grid paper, and at the intersection of two lines on the grid paper, students are shown a house and...

Students practice assessing how to apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles. They recount the contributions of Pythagoras and apply the theories of the Pythagorean theorem in a group project to calculate the...

Students create factor trees.  In this prime and composite lesson, students model fractions using tiles.  They create factor trees and identify prime and composite numbers.  Students use grid paper and tiles to model...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between...

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this lesson about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand geometric...

Students discuss and list the various ways to conduct a job search. In groups, students review the classified ads and decide on a number of jobs that appear interesting and for which they are well qualified. This lesson is intended for...

Students create a mini city using proportions that fit a model human they construct using tin foil. They plan the city including a library, sports arena, living spaces, parks and businesses. When constructing the paper buildings, they...

In this Pythagorean theorem worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 8 different types of problems. First, they go to the given website and copy the picture shown. Then, students draw a right triangle using the straight line between the...

Students create a My Favorite Holiday Calendar Page. They recall the months of the year and identify the various components of a calendar. Students also apply their learning about holiday customs to consider their own favorite holiday...

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Students research effigy mounds of Native people in Wisconsin. They create large models of effigy mounds in a given area based on factual information from their studies and research.

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms activity, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Students use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b and log a...

Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Students engage in a study of measuring distances between geographical locations on a map. They are able to define and use the map scale in conjunction with the metric system. For this lesson they make their own maps and measure the...

Students create a geometric pattern using mandalas, polygons and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze the mathematics involved in making the mandalas, including the shapes and symmetry. Students create their own mandalas...

High schoolers devise their own scheme for encouraging healthy eating and discuss health eating. They prepare a talk for younger students from the government to promote healthy eating.

In this prime numbers worksheet, students read facts and complete comprehension activities. In this graph construction and drawing worksheet, students complete two activities.

Students each create a small piece of a larger picture. When assembled the final piece match a photograph of a famous individual.

Fourth graders devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically (guess and check, make a drawing, use equipment). The use of logical reasoning is a focus of this lesson.

Students read and plot coordinates in all four quadrants and state where a shape will be after translation. They explore the concept of translation using a a four quadrant grid of the of River Tyne running through all 4 quads. In...

Students investigate the mathematical concepts related to the study of The Pythagorean Theorem. They graph and review how to use a line segment to construct a triangle. Then using the theorem students calculate the length of the hypotenuse.
