How Do You Measure Up?
Students measure their body. In this measurement lesson, students use a string to measure their height and the circumference of their head. They record this information on the worksheet provided and answer questions as a group.
Curated OER
Quadrilateral Explorations
Ninth graders identify quadrilaterals and label the vertices of quadrilaterals. they justify their identification of the quadrilaterals. Students work in groups to identify and create quadrilaterals
Curated OER
Equations in Motion: Design and construct a mobile
Students participate in a lesson plan that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a...
Curated OER
Introduction to Fractals: Infinity, Self-Similarity and Recursion.
This lesson plan introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and
Curated OER
Faces of a Cube
Students identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. For this three-dimensional figures lesson, students build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Students then...
Curated OER
Surface Area with Polydrons
Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...
Curated OER
Rounding
In this rounding worksheet, students solve 40 problems in which whole numbers are rounded to the nearest 10. 100 or 1000. Students also round to the nearest dollar.
Curated OER
Introduction to Fractals: Infinity, Self-Similarity and Recursion
Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.
Curated OER
Soaring Towers
Students build towers from recycled materials. in this building lesson plan, students build the highest tower they can from varied materials. They focus on shapes and which items should go on the bottom to make a strong base.
Curated OER
Hellenistic World
In this Classical period learning exercise, students read over 2 pages of notes about Hellenistic culture and then highlight the important details.
