Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern lesson, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when dividing...

Pupils describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals lesson, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Students calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.

Young scholars work in groups to research clocks and practice telling time. In this telling time lesson, students use the computer program ProQuest to study circles, including radius and diameter, and practice drawing circles using a...

High schoolers are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

In this rounding money worksheet, students identify the money amounts in each examples and round to the nearest dollar for the 10 examples.

NOT A LESSON Students

Students practice descriptive writing. In this unique writing lesson, students hear a story about a mitten. Then three grade levels come together to first, create a mitten on KidPix; second, describe the designed mitten; and third, try...

High schoolers explore the concept of translations. In this translations lesson, students discuss similarities and differences between images and pre-images. High schoolers apply translations to coordinates of figures. Students use patty...

Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.

Learners use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...

Students use wax paper to look at different properties of circles such as chords, tangent lines, inscribed angles, and inscribed angles in a semi-circle, as well as finding the center of the circle, and use GSP to investigate cyclic...

Middle schoolers complete a chart (KWL) as a pre-assessment, study the history of tessellations (tilings), investigate the properties of tessellations, and make and evaluate photographs of "found tessellations" for a...

Students examine the techniques and principles of photographic composition using various scientific tools such as a camera, a digital computer scanner, and a computer.

Students utilize LEGO's to replace cards for a game that replicates "Go Fish".

Young scholars participate in guessing their partners' hidden Lego pieces from their verbal clues. They work in partners to accomplish their goals. They are meeting a variety of math standards by completing this lesson.

Learners sort Lego Duplo pieces after determining the attributes to classify them by. They work in pairs to sort a group of Duplo pieces and explain their process to others.

Learners are introduced to the concept of architecture and how it has changed over time. In groups, they discuss how the places people have built reflects their values and needs. They use the internet to research the history of...

Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it. After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups. They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

Students practice identifying right, vertical, and adjacent angles using a Smartboard. They then determine measurements of all of the angles when only one measurement is given.

Pupils examine works of stained glass in one dimensional art form then adapt it a three dimensional transparent mobile. They create their mobile using patterns of shapes and simple images from computer line art, printed art books or...

Fourth graders investigate congruent shapes. In this congruency activity, 4th graders explore examples of congruent shapes. Students determine how to check for congruency by sliding or flipping the shape.
