Students identify names of angles. They use a large clock to demonstrate angles using certain times of day. Given a geoboard, students create figures with acute, right, and obtuse angles.

In this designing a periscope worksheet, students follow the directions to collect materials and make a periscope. Students answer 5 questions.

If you have ever injured your shoulder, you know it takes a while to improve your arm's range of motion. In this real-world example, young mathematicians gain insight into the world of physical therapy while they analyze a case study...

What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

Students investigate angles through construction. In this geometry lesson, students use a protractor to identify the measurement of an angle. They identify angles cut by a transversal and two parallel lines.

Students devise procedures for using a protractor to measure the number of degrees in an angle. They use inductive reasoning skills to construct their own method for effectively using the protractor to measure angles, as well as, make...

In this math worksheet, students collaborate with a "study buddy" or "coach" to learn whether an angle is acute, obtuse or right. Students follow the directions to go through the process of deciding what classification an angle has....

Young scholars construct parallel lines using a protractor and a straightedge. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of parallel lines. They use Cabri to graph and observe the lines.

Second graders investigate how to slow the spread of germs from coughing and sneezing. In this illness prevention lesson, 2nd graders talk about why people cough and sneeze before telling about ways to prevent the spread of germs. They...

Direct your young mathematicians to a resource on direct and inverse variation. A video first reviews concepts on direct and inverse proportionality. Individuals then answer a set of questions in pure and applied mathematics...

Students apply their math skills to develop an accurate estimate of the height of a tall tree. Three different methods are outlined. All grade levels should be able to perform the shadow method and the proportional method.

Students test the adhesive strength of different tapes. In this adhesive lesson, students conduct an experiment to test the shear strength of the adhesives, take measurements, record data, and draw conclusions to explain each product's...

Young scholars view a video clip about how men and women are portrayed in the media. They gather examples from magazines and graph the results. They discuss body image to end the instructional activity.

Pupils place a pencil perpendicular to the ground and trace its shadow between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. They measure the length of the shadow, periodically over several hours, in either English or Metric units. Using the data, they find...

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

Reinforce math skills with an eight-page exercise comprised of 15 problems covering the concept of ratios. 

Make enlargements with and without centers. Pupils work through seven problems dealing with dilations or enlargements. The first couple items are strict enlargements without centers, while the others have centers. Class members also...

Reinforce math skills with an eight-page exercise that stretches scholars' computation muscles through 13 order of operation problems. 

Reinforce estimation and the four operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—with eight page, 15 problem independent practice exercise.

Start out with angles by asking your pupils to read this reading passage. Class members will learn about degrees, right angles, acute angles, and obtuse angles and then respond to five questions about the text.

How do you solve systems of linear equations? Scholars watch a video to learn how to solve systems using elimination-combination. After viewing the video, they solve seven systems of equations.

Young scholars explore how to solve any quadratic equation with a video about the quadratic formula. They then use the quadratic formula to solve a set of quadratic equations.

Class members learn how to apply formulas for spheres and cones with a video that begins with a review of the formulas for surface area and volume of spheres and cones. Pupils use these formulas to solve problems on a worksheet.
