Pupils use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Learners define a functions and solve problems using functions. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate functions from non-functions. They differentiate between polynomials of higher degrees.

Young scholars use a spreadsheet to find sequences of numbers. In this algebra lesson, students find the values for c of a quadratic written in standard form. They relate the behavior of the graph to the values of the equation.

Learners identify the end behavior of polynomial graphs. For this algebra lesson, students factor and solve quadratic and complex equations. They factor out negative roots and identify the real and imaginary parts of an equation.

There are many different ways to show a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.  Here is a nice hands-on paper cutting activity that shows a graphic representation. You can even challenge your young Pythagoreans to come up with their own...

Students analyze content area vocabulary. In this content area literacy lesson, students list math words they are unfamiliar with and identify morphemes found in those words that are found in other words. Once they have a list of words...

Fifth graders examine the "think aloud" reading strategy. In this reading strategies lesson, 5th graders apply the think aloud strategy to solving word problems in math.

Eighth graders comprehend how to solve mathematics word problems. In this word problems lesson, 8th graders use word problems to examine possible answers and eliminate obviously incorrect ones. Students work with word problems in small...

Students draw a model of the bunny problem which generates the Fibonacci Sequence, spirals generated from golden rectangles and golden triangles; identify the golden ratio in the human body, and find the Fibonacci numbers in nature.

Fifth graders identify lines of symmetry., similar and congruent shapes. They use construction paper to create their own symmetrical shapes. Students create stained glass frames containing symmetrical, congruent and similar shapes.

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Learners explore the concept of coordinate proofs. In this coordinate proofs lesson, students write coordinate proofs using properties of distance, slope, and midpoint. Learners discuss why it is sometimes beneficial to double the...

Students describe, make and compare polygons. For this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students properly leap and measure their distance. In this leaping lesson, students practice leaping for accuracy and proper form. Students estimate their leaps and measure with rulers. Students determine distance covered by the entire...

Students make a two - colorable map by following directions given to them. For this map lesson plan, students follow 5 sets of directions and discuss their activity.

Students, in groups, make chocolate chip cookies following a recipe.

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

Learners are introduced to the topic of congruence and proportions in Geometry. Using technology, they construct and validate the properties of various geometric figures and identify whether it is congruent or proportion to the objects...

Pupils explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Pupils examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

High schoolers are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three...

Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Students explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

Students are introduced to the topic of proofs in Geometry. During a PowerPoint presentation, they take notes on indirect proofs and have groups of students write a true statement. They are assessed on the statement and how well they...
