Relating Algebra to Geometry
Learners investigate the connection that exists between Algebra and Geometry. They classify two and three-dimensional figures. Pupils use formulas to solve problems in geometry and use appropriate measuring devices in the right contexts.
Curated OER
Geometric Figures-Triangles
Fourth graders explore triangles. In this math lesson, 4th graders discuss the different types of triangles. Students create triangles using wiki sticks. Students complete an online matching game.

Math 6 - Act. 08: Patterns
Sixth graders use centimeter cubes to build structures and then compare and contrast the patterns they see.
Curated OER
Ecology - Biodiversity Lab
Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.
Curated OER
Proportions in Stories
Students solve problems dealing with ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite word problems using equations and symbols. They correctly convert between percents and decimals.
