Soaring Towers
Learners 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
Troublesome Towers
Students observe solids and identify parts that make up the surface area. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface are of solids and cones. They find polygons and solids in the real world.
Curated OER
They're Everywhere! They're Everywhere!
Students 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.
Curated OER
Lines, Rays, Line Segments, and Planes
Students 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
Curated OER
Castles
Students create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.
