Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...

Students become familiar with the style of architecture of medieval times.  In this architecture instructional activity, students design a model of a medieval castle including its cornerstone. Students understand scale in their...

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Learners identify the secant segment of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate secant lines formed outside the circle. They use Cabri software to create drawings and explore circles and secants.

Students identify the properties of chords. In this geometry lesson, students multiply chord segments to find the solution to their problem. They construct two chords that cross on  a circles.

First graders investigate the function of pattern as it applies to music, dance and visual art, and participate in activities that demonstrate the patterns found in each art form. They then focus on identifying musicians by the "tools"...

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot he...

Students explore geometry by creating jewelry in class. In this polygons lesson, students identify different shapes and characteristics while creating polygon figures from construction paper. Students utilize a multitude of shapes...

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Fourth graders investigate ecosystems. In this ecosystem lesson, 4th graders explore producers, consumers, and decomposers and study the interdependence of each.

Young scholars collect data on investments and draw conclusions. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze exponential graphs as they relate to money. They discuss the cause of an account balance being high or low.

Students solve problems of inequalities and equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve inequalities. They graph their solutions on a number line.

Students build a map of the Atlantic Ocean floor and mark the different depths.  In this ocean floor lesson students identify parts of the ocean floor that they created and discuss patterns that they see.

Learners use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Students investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

Students practice using visuals to solve math problems. In this math manipulative lesson, students utilize pattern blocks to participate in a class game in which geometric shapes touch other player's pieces. Students gain points based on...

Third graders become more familiar with various geometric shapes by completing the games and activities in this lesson. They keep track of the number of each shape they use in each of the three ways.

Second graders explore how musical instruments h ave varying geometric shape, and how those geometric shapes correspond to three-dimenaional shapes that students have studied.

Young scholars explore patterns and geometric sequencing. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. Young scholars solve real life problems. They demonstrate, with cardboard pieces,...

Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...

Students see how to identify regular polygons, how to slide, turn and flip polygons, and why certain polygons tessellate better than others. Groups create a one foot square design to be used to tile the classroom. Great lesson plan!

Create geometric cups by interpreting directions, informational text, and mathematical concepts. Critical thinkers apply geometric theory (congruent shapes, patterns, symmetry) to actual directions to create a cup that holds Kool Aid....
