Students build and create using math. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between congruent and similarity as they observe polygons. They create robots with different functions using properties of geometry.

Young scholars identify the different parts of a right triangle. In this geometry instructional activity, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to identify missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They work with irrational and...

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students use a letter key code to match match vocabulary words to their definitions. A reference web site it given for additional activities.

In this math maze learning exercise, students navigate their way through a maze using clues and spelling out math vocabulary words. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

Young scholars explore the concept of geometric shapes. In this geometric shape instructional activity, students play bingo to review geometric shapes. Young scholars identify the shape being described by the teacher and put a marker on...

Eighth graders experiment to decide if a box that is twice as big holds twice a much. They work the concept of volume and how changing dimensions affect it.

Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using problem solving...

Students create a reading nook. For this measurement lesson, students find a spot in the classroom to turn into a reading nook. They need to measure how much space they need to fit students and supplies into their nook. 

Young scholars appreciate the art of the artist Keith Haring. They design and implement Keith Haring-like images for a wall mural and explain and experience a project containing many different compenents and processes from beginning to end.

Students build a Lego design and then work with a partner to reproduce that design. They guide the building of the reproduction by description only and then check their work.

Sixth graders explore the relationship between area and perimeter. After discovering the definition of perimeter, 6th graders work together to create designs for a flower bed. They observe that the perimeter remains constant even...

Students investigate the ties that architecture and math have in common. They focus on works of architecture in the world that is considered of great significance. Students use the internet to find building images from around the world....

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

In this math vocabulary learning exercise, students solve the clues for math vocabulary words to fill in the blanks in a crossword. Students complete 8 problems.

Students examine the attribute of equilateral triangles. In this equilateral triangle lesson, students examine a number of paper triangles to determine how they are classified. They determine how triangles are depicted in Navajo rugs.

Students watch the teacher draw on the chalkboard and try to determine the form being drawn. They use questions to determine Quadrant #1 of a coordinate plane.

Students brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.

Students work together to build a simple gear train. They record their observations as it gains speed and how the gears rotate. They develop rules about gears based on these observations.

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students read a set of 15 math related definitions and write the words being defined. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

Learners find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no creative...

Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.

Students are introduced to the function and design of the following Lego pieces: beams, bricks, plates, axles, tires, hubs and bushings. They then work with a partner to build something using only these pieces.

Third graders read the story STREGA NONA together as a class and discuss what they know about pasta. They each receive pieces of pasta to glue down on construction paper and write beneath each one what they think it looks like.

Given a net for a three-dimensional figure, the student will make conjectures and draw conclusions about the three-dimensional figure formed by the given net.
