Elementary and secondary learners investigate various concepts related to the study of fractions. They use word problems during the introduction to parts of a fraction and proceed to some of the basic operations of using fractions. The...

First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional shapes to...

Connecting academic concepts to real-life applications is an important component of any lesson, especially with such topics as geometric shapes. In this learning exercise on geometric shapes, students answer word problems. This learning...

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry instructional activity, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on...

Eighth graders calculate surface area of 3-D shapes. In this geometry lesson, 8th graders analyze cubes and prisms by finding their area and surface area. They compare the data of these two shapes.

Students create Post-It note fundamental regions to tesselate. They make tesselations using computer software or websites. They create a jacket design with tesselation and determine the cost of production.

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

For this perimeter and area worksheet, 9th graders solve 17 various types of problems, mostly word problems related to determining the area or perimeter of a geometric shape. They also determine the area and perimeter of shaded portions...

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

Tenth graders investigate the history of geometry and its different shapes. In this geometry activity, 10th graders practice seeing three dimensional shapes and explain why there are only five polyhedra. They relate all the new materials...

Students calculate the distance between two points using the distance formula. In this geometry instructional activity, students derive the distance formula using the Pythagorean Theorem.

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

Students analyze the patterns in polygons and relate it to the rate of change. In this algebra lesson, students discuss the relationship between the data and the graph of the data.

Fifth graders classify triangles. In this triangle lesson, 5th graders learn about the characteristics that make up a triangle. They are instructed through video, PowerPoint slides, and teacher-led demonstrations.

Students classify prisms according to their attributes. In this classifying prisms lesson plan, students explore different prisms. Students generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.

Practice place value skills with this instructional activity. Learners put numbers in order from greatest to least, identify the values of particular numbers, and engage in an activity to compare numbers using manipulatives.

Explore the power of mathematics through this two-week statistics unit. Pupils learn about several climate-related issues and complete surveys that communicate their perceptions. They graph both univariate and bivariate data and use...

Here learners get to flex some serious algebraic muscles through an investigation of logistic growth. The properties of the constant terms in the logistic growth formula are unraveled in a short but content-dense...

Third graders complete a classroom game used to build understanding of two and three-dimensional shapes. Diagonals, sides, regularity, congruency, angle measurements, parallels, perpendicular, faces, and edges are a few of the vocabulary...

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.

Sixth graders explore different polygons. In this polygon instructional activity, 6th graders examine a rhombus, quadrilateral, parallelogram, and rectangles. Students compare and contrast polygons and research shapes on the Internet.

Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Students create different shapes on grid paper.  In this two-dimensional geometry instructional activity, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper.  They identify all shapes they see once...
