Students create a rectangular garden using paper and tiles. In this geometry activity, students investigate the largest possible rectangle that can be created given specific boundaries. They use grid paper to draw the rectangles creating...

Students conduct a review that is done right before having a geometry quiz. They cover major topics that are part of the assessment. They use review cards as notes to pass to one another to reinforce the concepts before putting them away...

Students recognize and measure geometric shapes within abstract art. They examine quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometry and measurement.

Students examine mathematical symbols and formulas included in works of art. They analyze quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometric shapes.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Pupils duplicate the method that Archimedes used to estimate the value of pi. They complete a data table and find the approximate values of pi for three sets of polygons.

Eighth graders become engaged in a lesson in geometry to improve mathematical skills. They construct triangles, segments, and points using Geometer's Sketchpad to demonstrate how dilations of triangles and rectangles change geometric...

Pupils identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Young scholars take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring activity, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure different...

Young scholars discuss situations when it is useful to know exact weight of object as opposed to estimated weight, estimate weight of various items, weigh them on scale using ounces and pounds, and compare their weights on Guess Your...

Students are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Students design a blueprint of a building. In this measurement lesson, students design a building on paper. Students copy their building's measurements into the Microsoft Paint program and write word problems about their buildings....

In this quadratic linear systems of equations worksheet, students solve ten word problems using systems of equations.  The solutions are provided.

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Students develop an equation for finding the volume of a commonly known piece of candy (M&M, Hershey's Kiss, Tootsie Roll Pop, Life Saver, etc.) by using calculus.

Students calculate the height and altitude of a pyramid. In this geometry lesson, students define the parts that make up a pyramid. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing parts of a pyramid.

Students choose the correct strategy to solve multiplication and division. In this algorithm lesson, students use at least two strategies that use properties of operations and estimation. Students also recognize the relationship between...

Students identify he proportion of a cereal box. In this algebra lesson plan, students define the relationship between patterns, functions and relations. They model their understanding using the cereal box.

Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

In these subtraction worksheets, students will subtract single and double digit subtrahends from double digit minuends. Students will need to regroup to solve.

Young scholars estimate, calculate, and count back the amount of change needed from purchases made during small group activities.
