Fourth graders make models of three-dimensional figures and then use these play dough figures to observe and count the vertices, edges, and faces of the figure.

Learners investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

Fifth graders, after seeing Honeycomb examples, complete a Classifying Angles worksheet, Clock worksheet, and Defining Angles worksheet.

Fifth graders work with polygons.

Students calculate angle measure for triangles and complementary/supplementary angles. After a lecture/demo, students utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice.

Young scholars observe and solve examples of corresponding angle postulates, alternate interior angle theorems, and exterior and consecutive angles. They complete the Determining Angle Measure With Parallel Lines worksheet.

Fourth graders examine the Triangle Inequality Theorem by investigating possible lengths of the sides of a triangle.

Students explore the methods of creating maps. They create a map of Animas River Park using a compass and measuring tape, develop a single map from the team map sections, and devise another map of the Animas River Park using a GPS unit.

Third graders discover the main purpose for totem poles was to communicate with others. In groups, they compare and contrast the four types of totem poles and the various symbols used. They write their own stories based off of pictures...

Learners are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes. They explore the differences between lines, rays, line segments and planes. Students pracice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes.

Students work with attribute buttons in order to sort, create, and analyze patterns. Students practice identifying patterns and verbalizing the sorting rules and patterns they used. Sample assessments and rubric are provided.

Students will read the short story "Meenakshi's Magic Hands" by Santhini Govindan and view a slide show of photo images interspersed with the text to learn of the art form of Kolam. Students read and reflect upon a nonfiction essay,...

Students are introduced to Guatemala and to the tradition of giant kites. They decorate the kite sail and construct the kite. Students identifies possible causal factors contributing to given historical events.

Middle schoolers complete a table of values and plot points, as well as construct a graph on a coordinate grid. They construct two graphs on the same coordinate system, and identify the point of intersection. Students represent and...

Young scholars are introduced to the topic of area. In groups, they share various techniques to help them identify different shapes and work together to calculate the area. They use this same knowledge to determine the area of animal...

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the instructional activity, they use the shapes they...

In this math worksheet, students find the answers to the functions that includes integration and trigonometry. They use the examples for help with the special functions.

In this multiplication of vectors worksheet, students prove that the dot product operation is commutative. They normalize a vector so it has the same direction with a magnitude of one. Students use the angle formula to confirm...

In this least squares worksheet, students solve 3 different problems that include determining the least squares of equations. First, they use the data given in the table to write out the normal equations a system of 2 equations in 2...

In this volume activity, students find the volume of 8 prisms.   Students are given the length, width, and height of each prism.

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate the areas of rectangles. They use the formula for area of a rectangle.

Sixth graders identify various angles by using pattern blocks. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders find out how many degrees are in each of the different angles of the various pattern blocks.
