Students experience life as an interior designer. In this math lesson plan, students calculate area and perimeter in inches as they use problem solving skills to design a room.

Seventh graders organize a 20 x 17 room with a given set of furniture pieces. Arrangement is to be based on maximum comfort and practicality. This lesson plan is a good way to teach and reinforce the mathematical concept of area.

Young scholars examine a relief structure focusing on style, relief, and design. Students discuss and analyze the sculpture Sketch for a Fireplace Overmantel by Francesco Antonio Franzoni. Young scholars brainstorm about the...

Students create and color a one-patch quilt design based upon a regular hexagon. They examine quilts and photos of quilt designs, read a handout, and complete their quilt design on a worksheet.

Students review and differentiate between positive and negative space, view teacher sample, and cut out shapes to create puzzle-like picture in which one color of paper represents positive space and one color represents negative space.

Assist your class with each angle of geometry as they use exterior angles to form linear pairs with adjacent interior angles. They cover multiple vocabulary terms and work practice problems, complete with justifications, before...

In this bedroom redecoration project, your young mathematicians become interior designers. They plan, draw, and determine finances for the project. They apply their knowledge of working with decimals, geometric shapes, and problem...

Observe different types of lines and apply skills to create posters demonstrating line directions. Discern the four different types of lines and the ambience each creates in a room. In groups, explain each line poster.

Young scholars identify different geometric shapes, and arrange them artistically in original jewelry designs.

Young scholars view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Polygon ... an empty bird cage? After finding the angles of a polygon, young mathematicians use the provided methods to solve the problem in multiple ways.

Students explore angles and their use in Geometry. Students investigate three different kinds of angles: obtuse, acute, and right angles through an online activity. They identify pairs of angles with special relationships: vertical,...

Learners listen to a read aloud of Mary Ann Hoberman's A House Is a House for Me before discussing the meaning of habitats and the different types of homes that people live in. Next, they pretend to be architects and design a home for...

Students calculate the altitude of triangles.  In the web based lesson, students explore the interior distance from a given point in a polygon to its side.  They compute the sum of these lengths. Students read life...

Students investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon lesson, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral triangles to solve...

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students investigate Menelaus Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of polygons. They differentiate between boundaries point, interior points and area of lattice points.

Young scholars design and build their own solar cooker. In this math lesson, students determine the relationship between the angles of the sun, reflection and cooking time of the solar cooker. They test their project, collect data...

Learners define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students construct a convincing argument that the same amount of fabric is needed for each color of quilt being made in a specific design. They justify the relationship between vertical angles and the sum of the interior angles. Students

Fifth graders examine how to make tessellations. In this tessellation lesson, 5th graders review the meaning of the word "polygon" while the teacher shows them various examples. They practice making tiling patterns or tessellation's with...

Learners identify and compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning to family activities and needs. They draw an accurate floor plan--either existing or a work in progress to scale. Then, students roughly sketch their bedroom...

Here is a real-life lesson! Learners must plan the dimensions of a rectangular fence to reign in a runaway dog. They survey what shape and size fence is needed and use formulas to find perimeter and area of the fence. They explore what...

Students investigate the surface area and volume of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. They calculate the slant height, lateral edge, and diagonal length of the base. Using this information, students explore other areas of the hotel, such as...
