Pupils identify and define intersecting lines and vertical angles. They draw two intersecting lines and measure one pair of vertical angles. Learners will also move a line to change the angles of a figure and describe the changes in the...

Students find the volume of rectangular prisms.  In this volume lesson, students use a formula to find the volume of rectangular prisms.  They discuss the definition of volume and draw rectangular prisms.  Students...

Students experiment in small groups to answer the question, "Is there a relationship between ramps and speed?" They apply a formula to calculate the speed of the cars used in the experiment, complete the associate lab report, and...

Third graders will identify the four needs for plant survival and gain skills and confidence in using scientific measurement tools, probes as well as the spreadsheets and graphing capacity of a computer to represent and analyze data.They...

Learners observe and sort tree leaves. In this plant biology lesson, students observe various types of leaves and identify the characteristics of each leaf. Learners measure and sort leaves according to size and color.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Third graders evaluate the attributes of cones. In this space shapes lesson plan, 3rd graders analyze three-dimensional shapes. Students explore the faces and edges of a cone.

Young scholars construct two-column proofs. In this geometry lesson, students use deductive reasoning and geometric properties to justify given geometric statements. Young scholars compare and contrast proofs.

Swimming is more fun with quantities. The short assessment task encompasses finding the volume of a trapezoidal prism using an understanding of quantities. Individuals make a connection to the rate of which the pool is filled with a...

Rescue animals in the zoo by applying math concepts. Groups of learners solve three missions involving oxygen, food, and climate control. Each group selects an animal from one of four bio-domes.

In this statistics lesson, learners use an on-line form generator create a class-specific form, then complete the form, view a graph and data analysis, and draw conclusions.

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

High schoolers identify the data included in an energy audit. They perform an audit on the lighting in their school building. They complete a worksheet and discuss lighting issues with school staff.

Students make detailed observations and identify an unknown using descriptions.  For this observation lesson students are given a creature and must be able to identify it by species and genus.

Students think about ways in which they can spread joy during the holiday season. They create poems in the shape of a Christmas tree. Pupils use formatting tools in Microsoft Word to format the text of the poem. Students discuss ways...

First graders identify, interpret, and gain proficiency in using a clock to tell time to the hour and determine how many minutes are in an hour. They identify and list what they do as they travel through their dayand how much time you...

Young scholars identify the five basic food groups. They use their knowledge of the food pyramid to plan a full meal that incorporates at least one serving of food from each group. Pupils classify their ingredients according to the food...

Fourth graders identify the attribute of volume of an object. Units of measurement are reviewed and utilized in this instructional activity.

Students explore experimentation as a method for solving problems. In this movement lesson plan, students observe marbles rolling down a ramp, identify variables that could cause the marble to roll faster or farther, test changing one...

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

Students discuss "How can we measure (or make it easier to record) the speed, distance or acceleration of the balloon?" They told that they are going to make a balloon racetrack. Pupils use meter sticks to accurately measure length and...

Students classify angles. In this angles activity, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a...

Students explore the three states of matter. For this physics lesson, students are shown examples of solids, liquids, and gases. Students make cookies and identify the three states of matter during the baking process.
