Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. Using various objects found in the classroom, they identify faces, edges, and vertices of objects. Students create their own objects. They describe the polydron, telling the faces,...

Students solve problems using fractals. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of fractals. They find patterns in their surroundings and relate it to the real world and math.

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions instructional activity, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation....

Students identify types of arcs and angles in a circle, find the measure of arcs and angles, and solve real world problems involving lengths of segments in circles, lengths, and areas.

In this map skills worksheet, students read a text selection about locations during the American Revolution and then respond to 8 fill in the blank questions.

In this analytic geometry instructional activity, students solve 12 word problems. Problems cover identifying the locus of an equation as well as the locus.

Students make a simple sundial to examine the changes in shadows over time. In this sundial and shadow lesson, students make a simple sundial out of a manila folder and pencil. They observe how shadows change over time, and relate it to...

Students will construct simple curves on graph paper by connecting a series of points between the vertical and horizontal axes. They share their designs and explain the patterns.

Third graders use graphing calculators to graph equations. They make visual models of algebraic expressions and they can readily see that an equation represents something.

Middle schoolers investigate some of the mathematical concepts involved in the study of circles. They first practice finding the circumference of a circle by finding the diameter and performing the calculation. The instructional activity...

Students calculate the different ratios using a right triangle. In this trigonometry lesson, students identify the sine, cosine and tangent of each side. They find the missing angles using the different ratios.

Students practice safe driving on a scooter, following the "rules of the road", to develop fitness.

Students determine the difference between a geocentric universe and a heliocentric universe.

Students explore the scientific revolution. In this scientific revolution instructional activity, students complete activities regarding Ptolemy, Copernicus, and the Church.

Students demonstrate how to use the map grid system. In this map skills lesson, students are given coordinates to locate several locations on a world map. Students use the map grid system to identify these locations.

Students examine parallax and angular measurements.  In this investigative lesson plan students calculate distances of objects and map their results.

Students identify the properties of chords. In this geometry lesson, students multiply chord segments to find the solution to their problem. They construct two chords that cross on  a circles.

Students use a formula to measure the eccentricity of an ellipse, then state Kepler's Law of Elliptical Orbits. They predict the solar energy received at different positions in a planet's orbit.

Students investigate shapes. In this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.

Ninth graders design a safe passage through a 2-D obstacle. In this geometric math instructional activity, 9th graders engage in a hands on activity to better understand the concept of geometric and algebraic perpendicularity. Students...

In this worksheet, students play the game of Nine Me's Morris which is similar to tic-tac-toe and checkers.  Students are presented with a diagram of the playing board and instructions for play.

In this math worksheet, students complete the practice exam that asks for the solution to the parametric equation. Also they name the perpendicular line in relation to it.

In this math worksheet, students imagine a situation where a weight is attached to a string and it is swung in a circle. Then they use vectors and derivatives to describe the motion.

In this coordinate grid graphing worksheet, students plot the given points onto each of 6 coordinate grids. All points are located in quadrant 1. One point is plotted on each grid. Answers are given by clicking the appropriate place on...
