Learning how to define vocabulary words related to solving parallelograms will assist your learners in identifying different parallelograms. They use the navigator to view different shapes created by moving the parallelogram around.

Students explore symmetry. In this geometry lesson plan, student identify and define bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, pentagonal symmetry, hexagonal symmetry, and cubic symmetry. Students construct examples of these types of symmetry...

Fourth graders examine the purpose of variables and identify the missing variable in open sentences. They observe the teacher solve a variety of problems, complete a worksheet as a class, and independently complete another worksheet. ...

Students identify and compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning to family activities and needs. They draw an accurate floor plan--either existing or a work in progress to scale. Then, students roughly sketch their bedroom...

High schoolers investigate different types of correlation in this statistics lesson. They identify positive, negative and no correlation as it relates to their data. They then find the line of best fit for the plotted data.

This problem-solving PowerPoint includes detailed steps to follow when solving a math story problem. Each slide describes and gives an example of what a student should ask himself and/or what particular strategy would work in order to...

Students create an atomic model using a computer program. For this technology lesson, students identify the difference between radius and diameter. They create circular patterns and spheres based on certain specifications.

Students plant seeds, observe and tend plants. They identify major plant parts, how to germinate and troubleshoot problems with plants; and, that plants need water, light, and soil nutrients to thrive. They create a Plant Growth Data Log.

Seventh graders play "What's my Rule" beginning with simple equations and working towards harder problems as student's gain confidence. They evaluate the equations by graphing them. Students identify the slope and y intercepts of the...

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between...

For this Benford's Law learning exercise, high schoolers read about the first digit frequency of numbers. Students solve 3 problems about sunspot numbers, solar wind magnetism and the depth of the latest earthquakes by using on line...

In this geometry worksheet, students fold paper to make a hexaflexagon. They identify the vertex and all six sides after folding and making their shape. This assignment requires 25 triangles and 19 perfect triangles.

Students conduct experiments and graph their data. In this statistics lesson, students collect data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They analyze the data looking for patterns and they discuss their findings with the class.

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 explore how dance can be infused with mathematics. In this art and mathematics instructional activity, students recognize how the ABA dance form is similar to a math number sentence. Students create a dance choosing dance words...

Students identify rhythms in counting activities. In this counting lesson, students use clap rhythms to verbally practice skip counting. Students skip count by 2's and 3's.

Students identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry lesson, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Students learn about artist Larry Schulte and view examples of his work. They create addition sentence for the first seven numbers of the fibonacci sequence and use unifix cubes to build that sentences. Students color and create three...

Third graders watch the teacher draw a horizontal line across the board. They listen to the definition of horizontal and has a student demonstrate putting their body in a horizontal position. This is repeated with a vertical line. The...

Students identify the properties of chords. In this geometry lesson, students multiply chord segments to find the solution to their problem. They construct two chords that cross on  a circles.

Learners demonstrate an understanding of the relationships of the Fibonacci Sequence. They apply the Fibonacci Sequence and find its relationship to a piano keyboard. They explore various relationships between music and the Fibonacci...
