Students examine how Earth's rotation causes daily cycles in solar energy using a microset of satellite data to investigate the Earth's daily radiation budget and locating map locations using latitude and longitude coordinates.

Students explore geometric shapes using pattern blocks. They use specific shapes to fill in triangles, color-in their solutions, and discuss the results with a partner.

Students discover three lettered postulates that prove triangles congruent.

Students establish classifications of shapes by various properties (angles, sides, etc.). They introduce the important properties of common shapes. Students develop an awareness of the wide variety of ways the 2-D shapes can be alike.

Fifth graders solve problems while examining a variety of isosceles triangles.  In this isosceles triangle lesson, 5th graders examine shapes to find their characteristics.  Students pay particular attention to the...

Young scholars explore the concept of triangles.  In this triangles lesson, students are to propose a plan for a ramp at their school.  Young scholars use the Pythagorean Theorem and trigonometry to determine the length,...

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this seventh through twelfth grade geometery lesson plan, students explore the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the missing side of a right...

Students use their understanding of 3D on 2D to make a representation of a 4D form on paper.

Students participate in a lesson that focuses on the concepts of combining monomials to make polynomial expressions. They use algebra tiles to complete the exercises in the lesson. This is hands-on learning with successive problem...

Fourth graders investigate the concept of computing the area using different shapes. They use prior knowledge in order to devise a formula for a parallelogram. Scaffolding is provided by the teacher to find the formula of area for...

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.

Students use the Internet to do research on the roller coasters at Magic Mountain Amusement Park. They must use mathematical formulas to calculate the highest and fastest coaster at the park.

Students experiment with scale to solve a problem presented in a video clip. They determine the correct size to use when constructing a model and evaluate the use of proportions in real life applications.

Young scholars study the elements of the Periodic Table as they relate to the building blocks of the body. They experiment to measure the amount of iron in the body.

Understanding mathematical language in problem solving can be a difficult concept to grasp. Sharpen your logical reasoning skills at this test prep site that explains the terms: if, and, or, implies, and only if, as they relate to math....

Twenty-five problems cover the topic of logic and proof in different geometry settings. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View Solution"...
