Students graph normal distributions, shade desired areas, and find related probabilities. They graph Normal probability scatter plots to check the normal (linear) shape of a data distribution.

The applets in this Interactive Geometry Dictionary (IGD) will show you how to find the area of some common shapes.

The science portion of this lesson provides opportunities for students to recognize that structure and function are directly related to specific animals and to their survival. The body shape and the position and size of the mouth of a...

Students will take a virtual tour of a Peep Candy factory. Students will observe the way Peeps are packed in rectangle shaped arrays, 2 rows of 5.

As part of the study of Civil Liberties, the students will do research on Civil Rights Supreme Court Cases and amendments that changed America. In groups, students will use various websites, books and newspaper articles to acquire...

Students will use a square to investigate other polygonal shapes that can be formed. Students will work with these polygons to make designs that will later constitute cooperatively designed quilts. The quilts will be made by translating,...

The class has been contracted to work for a box factory. They are to make cube shaped jewelry boxes. Students determine how many different nets are possible and then analyze the resulting cubes. This real-world situation helps to develop...

This activity helps students recognize that measuring tools can come in many different shapes and sizes. The student's will develop creative-thinking, math, and social skills as they use nontraditional and traditional measuring tools....

Lesson plan that helps students explore the attributes of polygons through the use of cooperative groups. Students use jigsaw puzzles and foldable polygons. They also connect the attributes of specific polygons with objects in the real...

The students will discover the shape of the sine function without creating a t-chart. The students will create a sine function using toothpicks. The students will then discover how the amplitude (height) and the period (number of compete...

In this lesson, the students will create geometric reflections. This is a hands on activity where the student will be able to conceptualize how geometric shapes are reflected across the x and y axis of a coordinate graph. This lesson...

Learners will explore the documents that were used in shaping the United States, before, during, and after its creation. While studying these documents, students will use reading skills to interpret and analyze documents. By the end of...

This is a great culminating activity after a unit study on the natural resources of the state of Alabama. Students will investigate some of Alabama's agricultural resources and create a multimedia presentation about one of them or recipe...

Students will learn the concept of volume by determining the amount of sand that is needed to fill the long-jump pit at their school (or any rectangular- or square-shaped container). This lesson will explain the importance of knowing how...

This is an introductory lesson designed to stimulate student interest in reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. The lesson familiarizes students with the physical traits and social codes used to guide hobbit behavior, and then looks at...

Students learn to use pattern blocks to build a two dimensional design, and use the calculator to determine the value of the design.

Students use the Explorer Draw application to draw two-dimensional figures. They understand how to write commands to draw squares and hexagons. They also calculate the perimeter of the figures drawn. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

In this activity, students will explore the properties of rotations and the relationships between the original and image figures.

Photos of slides and genetics charts accompany the text and explain the differences between sickle cell train vs. sickle cell anemia, symptoms of sickle cell disease, secondary diseases/conditions associated with sickle cell, mechanism...

This lesson is a unique and fun way to review perimeter, angles, and types of adjectives. Students pick an object from the classroom that will fit in a paper lunch bag. They investigate their object and fill in the attached sheet. You...

This Five E's AMSTI lesson plan equips students to divide an object into equal parts. A story and interactive whiteboard activity about sharing food demonstrate the idea of equal halves of circles, after which students attempt to half...

Using large shapes and patterns, this physical activity requires that young scholars use effective oral communication to complete the group task.

Students will identify objects as translucent, transparent, or opaque. Upon seeing the shadow of the opaque object, students will identify the geometric figure created by the shadow.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls...

Students use this interactive website to explore tangrams by connecting the pieces.
