Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Young scholars participate in graphing data.  For this graphing data lesson, students make a stem and leaf plot of their summer activities.  Young scholars create numerous graphs on poster boards.  Students discuss the...

Students take pictures of shapes and faces they see and draw lines of symmetry in them. In this symmetry lesson plan, students also draw one half of another student's face.

Pupils explore the relationship between area and perimeter of polygons.They measure the area and perimeter of regular polygons inscribed in a circle. Learners then discuss how as the number of sides of a regular polygon increase, the...

Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  In this pennies lesson plan, learners work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of a pin...

First graders practice manipulating shapes into different locations. They see that even though shapes may look different when they are moved into different locations, the shape remains the same with the same properties. They make...

Young scholars explore space shapes learning about edges, corners, and faces. They enjoy shape soup as a culminating activity.

Students learn about both geometric shapes and the importance of tools as key elements in building. In this categorizing and counting lesson, students define geometric shapes and complete a matching activity to practice using their...

Students explore basic shapes concepts. In this math lesson, students examine circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles as they draw the figures they see on worksheets.

Students create shape booklets. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students practice shape recognition as they participate in a scavenger hunt and create a shape booklet.
