Curated OER
Exploring Angle/Pair Relationships
Students find missing angles and sides of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students create intersecting lines to measure angles. They use Cabri Software to create virtual angles.
Curated OER
Mean, Median and Mode
Fourth graders describe weather data using the mean, median and mode. In this mean, median and mode lesson, 4th graders understand how to calculate data using mean, median and mode and why they would use each one.

Integers on a Coordinate Plane
Boogie fever! Explore the concept of integers on coordinate plane. For this integers on a coordinate plane lesson, students graph rational numbers on the coordinate plane and identify coordinates of a point. Students perform a line dance...
Curated OER
Habitats
Young scholars complete food chains for organisms in three environments. They use copies of the Habitat worksheet. Students review the food chain terms with the teacher. They research related food chains, and interlink these to form a...

Asia Outline Map
In this Asia outline map worksheet, students explore the continent as they label the 47 countries. The countries are numbered and lines for the answers are provided on the sheet.
Curated OER
Australia/Oceania Outline Map
In this Australia and Oceania outline map instructional activity, students explore the region of the world as they label the 14 countries. The countries are numbered and lines for the answers are provided on the sheet.
Curated OER
Poetry: Ten Little Schoolchildren
Students analyze a sequential, story poem and put the stanzas in order. They identify repeated verses and answer questions about the poem. They identify examples of alliteration. Finally, they make their own poem in a given pattern.
Curated OER
Product Line
Students research products imported from Europe and use a map to show the routes the products might have followed to reach this country. They take a field trip to a store that carries imported products and take note of how many come from...
Curated OER
Race to the Eating Line Lesson Plan
Seventh graders participate in the building and racing of a vegetable and fruit race car.
Curated OER
One in a Million
Students participate in an experiment to demonstrate how a substance can have different concentrations in a solution. Students record observations on a dilution chart and determine the concentations of various parts per million.
Curated OER
Properties of Special Parallelograms
Students identify properties of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students label polygons as parallelogram or not. They define and label the properties of a kite.
Curated OER
Reflections
Students investigate the concept of reflectons. They investigate how an image has a reflection that is symmetrical. They also choose household objects in order to have real life application for finding lines of symmetry.
Curated OER
Corresponding Sides and Angles of Similar Triangles
Students differentiate between corresponding sides ad angles of two triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the differences as well as the similarities between two triangles. They differentiate between similar and...
