Students differentiate between metallic and non-metallic sounds. For this music lesson, students listen to the audio clip of "March" and march in time with the music. Students identify the metallic sounds in the music piece. Students...

Students read folktales and identify the plot of the story by making a mobile. In this inventive and colorful lesson, students listen to a variety of famous folktales, and practice identifying the plot. Then, they work together to create...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Students identify basic shapes, name basic shapes, and match shapes with names. They find shapes hidden in pictures.

Fifth graders examine the geometry of quilts. They discuss the history of quilting, design two nine-patch squares, exchange one design on an Internet bulletin board, and construct a hot pad that is quilted.

Fourth graders use the concept of number patterns to complete a portion of Pascal's Triangle as well as identify and describe the patterns represented.

Learners, in groups, identify examples of shapes around the school site. They take digital pictures of these shapes and use them to construct a class book.

Students discover missing letters of the alphabet. In this letter recognition lesson, students identify the missing letters in a short alphabet sequence. Students complete a worksheet as an assessment.

Your class will use a TI calculator to drag vertices of rectangles and triangles to observe what happens to ratios of pairs of sides within each figure. They will apply the definition of similarity to identify similar shapes. The lesson...

Learners identify triangles as similar or congruent. In this geometry lesson, students drag triangles around on the navigator to see the effect of different angles on the shape of the triangle. They discuss angle similarity and angle...

Students identify the different angles and sides of a triangle. For this geometry lesson, students identify the six trigonometric ratios. They graph the graph of each trig function and analyze it.

Students perform transformations and translations using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students perform transformations on a coordinate plane. They identify the image and pre-image of each figure.

Teach how to solve problems with right triangles. Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to identify missing sides and angles. Then, they will define and use the Pythagorean Triples to solve problems.

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The lesson plan provides ample opportunity for learners to...

Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus instructional activity. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians...

Identify and make conjecture about properties of cyclic quadrilaterals. Students use the TI Navigator to create different shapes and draw conclusions.

Students investigate spherical geometry using a globe and an apple. In this spherical geometry lesson plan, students translate Euclidean geometry terms to spherical geometry terms using a globe. They answer 3 questions about spherical...

Students explore the concepts of force and effort by observing simple machines. In this physics instructional activity, students attempt to sharpen a pencil without any help, bite into an orange with their lips curled over their teeth,...

Learners identify and use the computer keyboard to complete simple tasks. Students eliminate the use of the computer mouse to do simple jobs. They use keys that are used alone, keys that specify object labels, Keys that result in objects...

Students investigate the properties and idea of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the different parts of a right triangle and relate it to the Pythagorean Theorem. They do a robotic...

Students measure and analyze angles. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure angles and distances use non-traditional techniques. They identify the different ratios of sine, cosine and tangent.

Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Third graders name different kinds of shapes and then discuss what they know about them an what they would like to learn using a K-W-L chart whole group. They listen to the book, THE GREEDY TRIANGLE and then retell it to the class. They...
