Consider the relationship between side length and area as an input-output function. Scholars create input-output tables for the area of squares to determine an equation in the first installment of a three-part unit. Ditto for the area of...

Geometric figures are perfect to use for proofs. Scholars prove conjectures about whether given points lie on a triangle and about midpoints. They use a provided dialogue among fictional students to frame their responses.

Wrap up the unit in one final design. Pairs use their knowledge of aviation to design new flying machines and record how their designs take into consideration the forces that act upon airplanes. The pupils determine whether their designs...

Off they go — launching rockets is fun. The lesson plan contains templates to build paper rockets that can be launched from a PVC pipe launcher. Individuals or groups build the rockets and determine the shapes for their fins. Included...

Students identify the slope of linear functions. In this slope lesson plan, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.

Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.

Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using problem...

Students discover how engineers determine the best designs for bridge construction. They see how bridge constructions relates Engineering to Geometry. They see the implications and consequences of bridge design on your community/world.

Students follow the directions on the attached worksheet to construct shapes using Geometer's Sketchpad. To start the lesson, it is suggested that the teacher guide the students through the initial problem. When constructions are...

Fifth graders receive a brief history of Pascal's triangle. As a class the students construct the first few rows of the triangle. The students are then split into groups where they finish a worksheet identifying the total value of each...

Young scholars explore measurements and geometric formulas. In this geometry lesson, students investigate pi as it relates to geometry. They collect data and use a chart to organize the data.

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Learners follow written directions to construct their own tangram. In this tangram lesson plan, students use their tangram to develop original figures that illustrate characters and/or objects from their favorite nursery rhyme. Learners...

Students explore triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students will create note cards with pictorial depictions of right, acute,obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral and equiangular triangles. Students will verbally...

Students investigate the properties of two and three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate polygons based on similarity and congruence. They make observation and interpret the data.

Students relate miniature golf to reflection of an image. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data as they study linear equations. They apply properties of graphing to solve real life scenarios.

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

Students complete two column proofs. In this geometry instructional activity,students derive the reasons their answers are correct using logic. They write the proof step by step using two columns.

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 use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Learners calculate the ratio and apply it to construction. In this geometry lesson plan, students convert between different units and use decimals and fractions interchangeable. They find the fraction of a given amount using the...

Students gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

Students are introduced to polyhedrons through using straw models to explore geometric solids and constructing Christmas tree ornaments using Epsom salt crystals. Students will view interactive videos and investigate and retrieve...

Students build a kite while integrating math and science. In this kite building activity, students construct a blueprint and apply mathematical formulas while constructing a kite. They use appropriate flight and kite terminology to...
