Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

Students investigate prairie life in the 19th century. They research quilts and prairie images online, take a photo of an object related to prairie life, transfer the image onto fabric, and create a class quilt.

Learners explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Students identify the different properties of Euler's Characteristics. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shape and surface a polygon. They relate the concept of Euler to solving real world problems.

Fourth graders examine and discuss the purposes and traditions of African ceremonial masks. They design and create African ceremonial masks using various materials.

Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

Learners investigate the ties that architecture and math have in common. They focus on works of architecture in the world that is considered of great significance. Students use the internet to find building images from around the world....

Seventh graders complete activities to further their understanding of area formulas. In this area lesson, 7th graders watch as the teacher uses Polystrips to model parallelograms. Students find the area of a rectangle and answer...

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry lesson plan, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Pupils decorate the congruent faces and edges of boxes in exactly the same way. They teach the terms "congruent," "faces," and "edges" to their parents.

Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.

Students examine concepts of nuclear chemistry. They compare and contrast the topics of nuclear fission and nuclear fision. They predict the outcome of reactions based on the types of emissions and reactants.

Students use a classification key from a provided worksheet to identify creatures. This task assesses student's abilities to interpret data, make decisions, identify, and classify.

Students discuss what enables us to read a face: features, expressions, standards of beauty, age and gender. They discuss what enables us to read motion: repetition, sequence, changes in form and scene.

Students create double-exposed photographs, poetry, and multimedia presentations. In this artwork lesson plan, students explore cameras, poems, and other art forms to understand line, light, and other attributes that contribute to artwork.

Students relate topology to polygons. In this geometry lesson, students make the connection between different shapes and topologically equivalent relationships. They use Mobius strips to create and move shapes around.

Students investigate triangles and congruences. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. They differentiate between similar and congruent triangles.

Students investigate circles and compound locus. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the distance from a point to a line. They use Cabri software to create lines and circles.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson plan, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

Students identify the properties of a dragon curve. In this geometry lesson, students identify sequences and patterns as they solve fractals. They investigate patterns found in nature.

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.
