Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Students investigate the concept of polygons using a variety of activities. They explore the vocabulary of polygons by constructing a graphic organizer. Then students categorize the characteristics of several polygons and contribute the...

Students recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of students will extend the study of polygons to...

Students compute areas of squares, rectangles, and so on and summarize the formulas for computing areas and explain how the formulas are derived and understand the reasoning behind them.

Students determine the vertex, y-intercept and direction of a parabola and write an explanation of how to graph a parabola. They collect and graph data using a calculator.

Twelfth graders are able to deduce the area of polygons by using several methods such as coordinate method. They are able to apply the area of polygons to real life situations. Students apply the Pythagorean Theorem in problem solving...

In this polygon worksheet, 5th graders name 6 polygons, tell if each one is a regular polygon or not and tell if it is a special quadrilateral.

In this polygons learning exercise, 4th graders identify and name the 4 polygons drawn on the bottom of the learning exercise and then draw a triangle, hexagon and a quadrilateral.

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

Students explore the math concept of sequencing. In this math instructional activity, students examine patterns and determine the patterns needed to finish sequences.

Students build replicas about nature and sports. In this geometry lesson plan, students build 3D replicas of nature and sports objects in teams.

Students discuss shape and number patterns and play a game practicing completing patterns. Then they rotate through five workstations that reinforce the concept of patterning.

Second graders use empty pizza boxes and pattern blocks to create a Save and Rave Box, which is a 3-D portfolio.

Third graders examine two-dimensional objects and create a 3-D image of the object. They make models of the Taj Mahal and buildings in Delhi.

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms instructional activity, students graph logarithms on their Ti-Nspire calculator.  Students describe the shapes of their graphs by identifying slope, y-intercepts,...

Students culminate a unit on measurement with a focus on area and perimeter. They design a floor plan of their dream room on graph paper showing the proper area and perimeter. They plan the budget for their room and make a 3-D scale...

Young scholars identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Learners explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students explore polynomial functions.  In this Algebra II instructional activity, students explore graphs of polynomial functions as classify the functions as linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic.  Students determine the...

Sixth graders investigate how colors, objects and geometric shapes have been used symbolically in art during specific time periods. They use this information to create symbolic artwork and write a descriptive/informational piece...
