In this math worksheet, students determine the name for each triangle according to its classification. Then they create a truss construction model.

In this math worksheet, students collaborate with a "study buddy" or "coach" to learn whether an angle is acute, obtuse or right. Students follow the directions to go through the process of deciding what classification an angle has....

In this classifying triangles worksheet, students classify triangles as either scalene, isosceles, or equilateral. Students complete 9 problems.

Students view a video and discuss different kinds of feet found in the animal kingdom. They make prints using paint, rubber stamps and their own feet and then measure and compare the tracks.

Students incorporate within this lesson scientific observations, senses: touch, sound, smell and sight, classification, states of matter and surface tension. Students make a substance and use scientific observations, as well as their...

In this angles activity, students solve 20 problems pertaining to angle measurement and classification. This page is intended to be an online activity, but can be completed on paper.

Students investigate the power consumption of household objects by using a classification sheet.  In this energy conservation lesson plan, students read through a list of household items and tools and organize them by predicting...

Students explore organization by participating in an object sorting activity. In this classification lesson, students view a diagram which details the different ways to sort items. Students practice sorting random objects in class by...

Students demonstrate how to sort buttons by attributes. In this classification lesson, students are given buttons and are asked to sort them independently by their attributes. Additionally, students are given one extra button after they...

First graders apply logic and reasoning skills to solve math word problems. Using four colored paper eggs and four names, they try to soilve the logic puzzle by matching a name with a favorite color. Students check their answers on the...

First graders are introduced to how to use a ruler and its purpose. Using a boomerang, they estimate its length and then measure it using a string and ruler. In groups, they practice the same exercise with various objects while...

Fifth graders define vocabulary terms, identify the characteristics of a pillbug, and create a dichotomous key. Then they examine the pillbugs and make observations and record these observations. Finally, 5th graders observe specific...

Quadrilaterals can be quirky! Fourth graders use geoboards and bands to create four-sided figures. They analyze the attributes such as angle size and presence of parallel sides. As a result they learn to differentiate among...

Tenth graders conduct various activities utilizing the scientific method to formulate a hypothesis, conduct a controlled experiment, collect and analyze the data and communicate their results through a poster. They also identify...

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson, students find the line of best fit for a set of data pertaining to a frog population. Students use their line of best fit to predict the frog population...

Number crunching statisticians explore displaying data with dot plots and define the difference between quantitative data and qualitative data. Dot plots are created based on a set of given data and analyzed.

Learners examine the properties of quadrilaterals from the point of view of rigid motion. Different types of quadrilaterals are characterized by their symmetries, so learners explore the symmetries of a described quadrilateral to...

Puzzle your way through to a new understanding of area. Scholars learn about the area of polygons through equidecomposability, the idea that polygons that can be decomposed into the same set of pieces have the same area. By using...

Students study animal classification and their interactions.  In this animals and engineering lesson students study animal communities and how engineers use this knowledge to create new technologies. 

Fifth graders examine ecosystems in their schoolyard. In this nature and ecosystem instructional activity, 5th graders map their schoolyard into workable plots. They classify plants and animals found in the plot. They revisit their site...

Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. In this shapes instructional activity, students listen to descriptions of shapes with words such as sides, angles, congruent, and parallel. Students then give the teacher...
