Students graph linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students create graph with specific coordinate points. They use the Ti to visualise and differentiate between the two functions.

Students calculate the measurements of the inscribed angles of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students relate the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the diameter of a circle to each other. They calculate the diameter of a circle as...

Students find the surface area of cones. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the dimensions of each three-dimensional shape and use the correct formula to solve the problem. They relate concepts of cones to the real world.

Students calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

Students identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. In this geometry activity, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the surface...

Learners identify the properties of a sphere. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of spheres using the formula derived by nets. They identify the radius and diameter of the sphere.

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions lesson, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation. This lesson...

Students define the properties of minerals and their uses in their world. In this multi-lesson unit, students contribute actively to discussions of mineral mining, mining methods and mine safety. A role play lesson asks students to...

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Students recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson plan, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Students identify three-dimensional forms in various buildings and construct three-dimensional paper forms.

Learners investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Young scholars develop an intuitive definition for symmetry after viewing a PBS video. They examine asymmetrical patterns and demonstrate their knowledge by changing them to symmytrical.

Students make a design with pattern blocks and then pass them on to the rest of the class. They have to make them symmetrical and complete the design.

First graders investigate the function of pattern as it applies to music, dance and visual art, and participate in activities that demonstrate the patterns found in each art form. They then focus on identifying musicians by the "tools"...

Students brainstorm characteristics they associate with a community. In groups, they discover the role of a town square and create their own model. They also identify the various roles in keeping the community going and role play their...

Students examine different types of masks from various cultures. Using the masks, they identify the use of design elements in them. They create their own paper mask using the elements and share them with the class. After viewing a...

Students discuss how artists communicate visually in their work using the elements of design. The elements of design should be used as the building blocks of the structure you are trying to create. The elements of design are form, space,...

Fourth graders examine and demonstrate how to create a middle ground, background, and foreground on a picture or work of art. They identify middle ground, background, and foreground on Michael Sowa's works of art, then create their own...

Students explore the concept of origami. In this origami lesson, students construct picture frames out of paper. Students find the midpoint of the paper and determine the fractional area of the paper as it is folded.

Third graders identify healthy foods in each group of the food pyramid. In this nutrition lesson, 3rd graders take notes on the food pyramid by visiting the website, www.mypyramid.gov. Students design a healthy menu for an imaginary bistro.

Third graders identify the rhythms and movements found in different works of art. In this visual arts lesson, 3rd graders view samples of art work and use hand gestures to demonstrate the movement of the image. Students pick one art...

Sixth graders explore the concept of Cubist art. In this visual arts lesson plan, 6th graders examine examples of Pablo Picasso's work and they create self portraits in Cubist style.
