Students use a dictionary to gather appropriate information for writing simple definitions. They recognize prefixes that relate to numbers, such as mono-, bi-, and tri-. Pupils use their creative abilities to extrapolate new words to...

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Kindergartners are introduced to basic shapes. Learners spend 45 minutes a day in geometry centers carrying out the activities outlined in this ambitious plan. There are games, hands-on activities, interactive websites, art projects,...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

High schoolers will love this geometrically exact ceramics project; they create a personalized clay box using the slab method and mathematical measurements. They utilize scoring and square construction and can decorate the boxes to...

Young mathematicians calculate the area of rectangles and squares. In this geometry lesson, learners are grouped in pairs and use geoboards to construct rectangles. They calculate the area of the figure by counting the number of square...

Students explore perimeter. In this geometry and measurement lesson, students create squares and rectangles using given perimeters. Students construct four sided shapes with given perimeters using the computer program "Math Keys:...

Fifth and sixth graders study the use of a number line to add integers and they observe a teacher demonstration of how to add integers on a number line. Afterward, they construct a number line and use the number line to solve addition...

Third graders engage in an enrichment lesson exploring the concepts of area and perimeter. They construct new pentominoes that are 3 times the size of normal ones and then identify the area and perimeter measurements. They then create a...

In this geometry activity, students use a ruler and a protractor to measure the lengths of the line segments and size of the angles that make up a drawing of a Christmas tree.  The one page activity has one problem.  Answers...

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Students identify shapes, create shapes, and make a pyramid, a drum, and a sail using their shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students also identify plane and space shapes.

First graders explore counting and classification. They sort leaves, create graphs, write sentences for the data in the graphs, develop graphs for shapes, favorite animals, birthdays, and participate in a die prediction game.

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.

Explore lines tangent to a circle. In this math lesson, students manipulate circles and lines on a TI calculator. They draw a circle  and analyze perpendicular lines intersecting the circle in only one place. This activity works...

The first of two pages displays various angles as the measure of degrees of a circular arc. An explanation is written, and learners are asked to model each by holding up two pencils as the rays. The second page provides instruction on...

In this classifying angles instructional activity, 7th graders identify and complete 17 different angles illustrated on the sheet. First, they use the key given to outline each angle. Then, students use a protractor to measure each angle...

Sixth graders, in groups, explain why they think something. This requires students to listen to and respond to each other. In this particular lesson, 6th graders explain to their classmates when one can or cannot construct a specific...

Tenth graders discuss the history of geometry as it relates to pentagons. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders solve problems of a pentagon inscribed inside of a circle using ratio. They review other properties for shapes of polygons...

Learners gain an appreciation of the polygons and polyhedrons around them that make their world one of order and strength. They build polygons and polyhedrons, and then construct airplanes out of polygons.

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson plan, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects...

Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. In this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...

Scholars explore parallelograms in this geometry lesson. They investigate the properties of a parallelogram. Assisted by technology, your learners will construct a parallelogram and examine the sides, angles, and diagonals to discover...
