Students use triangulation method to locate meteorite landing site on the map. In this earth science lesson plan, students participate in a meteorite treasure hunt set up by the teacher. They explain how this method is used by scientists...

Fifth graders examine the geometry of quilts. They discuss the history of quilting, design two nine-patch squares, exchange one design on an Internet bulletin board, and construct a hot pad that is quilted.

Students respond to Tony Smith's sculpture as art and brainstorm about math concepts inherent in his work. They create a sculpture with polyhedra nets, calculate the cost of covering sculpture in gold, and write an exhibit label for...

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

Sixth graders identify and measure right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. For this geometry lesson, 6th graders review the definition of each angle and are shown examples of each specific angle. Students use toothpicks, gumdrops, and...

Second graders, using a minimum of four space figures, create a mobile. They use a "Draw" program to first plan out their figure.

Students see that spiders have a life cycle, and reproduce by laying many eggs. We can count by ones, twos, fives, or as many as we want. They make two lists of animals on a chart.

Student form and test hyptheses using indirect and direct observation. They launch marbles to determine the shape of a hidden object.

Second graders view examples of active lifestyles in works of Robert Harris, and list and graph their daily activities to see if they lead active lifestyles. Students then name forms of entertainment that require practice,...

Students identify and interpret the function, usefulness or utitlity, form, beauty or aesthetics, and meaning, context or story, of objects and how they learn new skills and make things that they learn traditionally, by observation and...

In this language arts worksheet, students examine the 101 reasons for taking a class in Latin. The syllabus has classical art for background on the cover page.

Second graders use a number line to understand multiples.  For this number line lesson, 2nd graders use a floor size number line and calculate problems with multiples. Students complete a worksheet with multiples.

Young scholars identify tangents, chords and secants. In this geometry lesson, students graph circles and identify angles created by secant lines, tangent lines and chords.

Learners investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

High schoolers calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus instructional activity, students integrate the function to find the area under the curve. They use the Ti to create a visual of the graph.

Oh that Pythagorean Theorem is so useful. Learners engage in a 45 minute learning activity that requires them to solve for missing angles and sides of a right triangle. They'll use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the rations of sides and...

Can your class solve right triangles and identify the properties common to right triangles? They will investigate and state the relationship between the altitude to the hypotenuse and the two segments of the hypotenuse formed by the...

Students find the roots of quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve radical equations and identify the positive and negative roots. They graph and analyze their functions.

Students factor polynomial equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the zeros of the equations. They use algebra to rewrite word problems using symbols.

High schoolers compare and contrast electromagnetic and physical waves. In this wave lesson, students discover that all waves reflect, refract, and diffract energy. High schoolers work in small groups to experiment with waves and...

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point activity, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

Learners find the volume of spheres. In this geometry lesson, students measure and derive the formula for each shape and solid. They use the correct terminology and units when solving these problems.

Second graders describe a polygon in the form of a riddle.

Fourth graders participate in what is considered to be a model lesson plan. The lesson plan focuses upon polygons and basic geometry. The lesson plan addresses national standards and displays how others should be done.
