Students perform translations on different polygons. In this geometry activity, students create figures that will be used as an assessment to represent transformation. They perform hands on creation and relate it to the real world.

Middle schoolers explore how a pattern built with square tiles grows and describe the change from stage to stage. They predict later stages of a tile design sequence and create math equations related to the growth of tile designs.

Students explore means by which community arts might be supported. In this "community" social studies instructional activity, students research various local non-profit organizations. Students role-play as members of the board of a...

Students differentiate functions based on their domain and range. In this algebra lesson, students define function, domain, range and relation. They analyze graphs and coordinate pairs for input and output values making up a function.

In this division and multiplication worksheet, students play a game where they solve a division problem and turn it into a multiplication problem using coordinates. Students complete 16 problems.

Young scholars investigate transformation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students identify pairs of coordinates and their location on the grid. They perform rotation and reflection of each polygon.

Students imagine they are archaeologists who are looking for treasure under the sand or sea. They work in teams to create the story and site of a shipwreck in a tub or aquarium filled with sand and water.

Students explore simple machines. In this physical science lesson, students identify six simple machines, illustrate each and identify how these machines function or can be combined to create a compound machine.

Students access prior knowledge of coordinates. In this coordinates lesson, students graph coordinate points to create a symmetrical figure and of a straight line. Students complete several practice examples.

In this bar graph worksheet, students answer short answer questions about bar graphs. Students answer 1 question about a bar graph about a cat, and 3 questions about a bar graph about U.S. rivers.

Eighth graders explore the art of conversation. In this giving instructions lesson, 8th graders discuss and respond to rules, play a game, and practice giving instructions to one another. Students are preparing for communicating in English.

Third graders cut a map of a pond into grid squares. They count the total number of squares and calculate the probability of drawing a pond piece vs. a shoreline piece. They draw 10 pieces and compare the results with the original...

Students examine the effect of the various ice ages on Wisconsin. In groups, they create a map representing the five geographic regions of Wisconsin. They must write out a description of each region to be placed on a poster board. ...

First graders are introduced to a coordinate graph. They are given a graph and follow directions to place stickers in the designated blocks. They write coordinate points to identify the placement of their stickers.

Students locate community sites on a city map using the map legend and grid system.

Second graders, using one inch grid paper, create a foot long and a yard measuring tool.

Seventh graders examine the process of constructing a site plan map at archaeological sites. They discuss the process of mapping techniques and calculation of percentages, create a plan site map of a cellar at Jamestown, and calculate...

Pupils explore the proportions of the human face and utilize a graph to draw a self portrait based upon the techniques and styles of a variety of artists.

Students construct, interpret and translate maps and geographic data. Given a worksheet, students identify an island, an atoll, a scale, and a compass rose. Students grid systems, legends, and symbols. They use the map to find answers to...

Pupils visit www.explorelearning.com/ Website to solve problems in area and perimeter. Next, they locate the vertex of a quadratic equation. In groups, students construct application problems and exchange them with other groups to solve.

Pupils take a field trip to a local park or beach to collect objects. They practice counting the objects and put them into categories according to type of shape like a cone, cylinder, etc... As an extension to the lesson students could...

Students using their right hands, put the first letter of their last name in each square on a piece of square grid paper. Then after the 20 seconds is up, they do the same thing using their left hands.
