Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Help learners find joy in facing mathematical challenges. The questions posed on this worksheet encourage young mathematicians to utilize skills learned throughout a geometry unit, and to apply themselves and persevere through...

Through the use of Internet, video, and hands-on activities, youngsters learn the parts and characteristics of a circle. This fantastic lesson has some excellent website activities included in the plan. Your kids will have a much greater...

Students explore similar objects. They participate in a series of hands-on, multimedia and online activities to examine how the edge length affects the angle measures, perimeters and areas of similar regular polygons. Students find the...

Tenth graders connect the history of geometry to problem solving. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate polygons through hands on manipulatives and solve problems relating to parallelograms and triangles. They calculate the...

Homes come in many different shapes and sizes. Building a model of a geodesic dome is the ultimate goal for the activity. Cutting and folding is the way to go here.

Pairs work as engineering teams to design and build model bridges from drinking straws and tape. In this third segment in a series of 10, teams compete in an attempt to build the strongest bridge. To help with the design, the groups...

In this triangle worksheet, learners calculate the measures of the angles or the sums of the measures of the angles in twenty-five triangle problems and hands-on activities.  The solutions are provided.

Students explore the concept of slope.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, students investigate the definition of slope as rise over run or change in y compared to change in x.  The lesson plan includes a real-world problem in...

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...

Learn about defensible space and renewable resources with a lesson about forest fires. After exploring the ways that humans have impacted the environment, kids conduct mock interviews about differing points of view in the conservation...

Back and forth, and back again. A presentation on harmonic motion would make a great backdrop for a directed instruction lesson in Honors Physics. It includes diagrams, formulas, graphs, and a few sample problems.

An engaging hands-on activity is presented. Learners of all ages are addressed in thie unique plan. K-5 learners identify, name, and define a rectangle, square, triangle, and the concept of area. Older learners prove the Pythagorean...

Students calcute distances using trigonometry and angle measurements. They estimate the width of the Trig River, measure it and compare their results with their classmates. They collaborate with a group to research and find the results.

Students study triangles. In this triangle lesson plan, students compare and classify triangles while milling to music. Students will also trade triangles so they can match up with other similar triangles. Triangles are provided.

Students triangulate using a compass, topographical (topo) map and a view of outside landmarks. They take a field trip to another location away from school and mark discernible landmarks (like mountains or radio towers) and changes in...

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...

Individuals discover how to draw cubes on triangle-dot paper. They use cubes to build structures and draw corresponding isometric drawings on dot paper in the second lesson of the series of five. The activity also introduces the concept...

How does fire keep itself going? Explore the ways that heat uses fuel and energy with a lesson about the fire triangle and combustion. Several activities demonstrate how heat moves from warmer objects to cooler objects, as well as the...

Investigate the effect of one-axis rotations on geometric figures. Scholars learn to use snap cubes and the right-hand rule to draw figures after rotations about the x-, y-, or z-axes. They try their hands at examples created by the...

Two-axis rotations ... twice the fun as one-axis rotations! The last installment of a five-part module teaches scholars how to conduct two-axis rotations. They create isometric drawings before and after the rotations.

Young scholars practice soccer skills. In this soccer lesson, students use cones and a foam ball to practice kicking and trapping in small groups. Young scholars use a timer to see how quickly their group can pass the ball around the...

Students research Pythagoras and learn how to apply his theorem. They solve real life problems using the theorem and demonstrate knowledge of exponents, equations, and radicals. Students include diagrams in their research papers.

Students discover the centroid of a triangle based on Euclid's constructions. They explore locus of points of a median. They understand properties of the segments that form the median and areas of the smaller sections formed by the median.
