They say a picture is worth a thousand words—and your pupils may agree after this instructional activity! They read a geometric description and create a diagram from that description. Their diagrams help them find unknown measures based...

Challenge your classes to combine geometric and algebraic concepts with an activity that builds on concepts learned in the first three lessons of the series. The fourth part asks scholars to identify geometric angle relationships and use...

Learners build confidence working with geometric tools and develop their construction techniques in the sixth lesson plan of the 29-part series. Given a geometric description, they use a compass, protractor, or ruler to create it....

Connect the size of a rolling cup to the size of circle it makes. Pupils view videos of cups of different sizes rolling in a circle. Using the videos and additional data, they attempt to determine a relationship between cup...

Discover the connection between calories and weight. Pupils multiply their body weight times calorie estimates for various physical activities to calculate calories burned per minute and per hour. Worksheets a well as website links are...

Pupils develop a definition of a circle based upon its radius in the 17th segment of a 28-part series. They determine the relationship between the radius and the diameter of a circle. To round out the lesson, they use the formula for the...

The third activity in the series of 29 asks learners to identify types of angles to verify angle relationships. They find unknown measures using vertical, adjacent, complementary, supplementary, and 360-degree angles.

The battle of the sexes? Scholars first examine data on hurricane-related deaths and create graphical displays. They then use the data and displays to consider whether hurricanes with female names result in more deaths than hurricanes...

Something's fishy here! Use the bar graph provided to determine the length of each fish shown. Small cartoon fish make this an engaging worksheet for young learners. There are six questions provided. 

High schoolers find the volume of pyramids and cones. In this volume of pyramids and cones lesson, learners explore the relationship between the volumes of prisms and pyramids. They investigate the relationship between pyramids and cones.

Ddefine the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages in a series of lessons. The class practices converting between these three versions of a number. They also find the common factor of a numerator and denominator and...

Middle schoolers explore angle measure as they estimate angle measure and measure and draw angles of less than 360 degrees. The lesson emphasizes the use of estimation when measuring angles.

Students examine the food pyramid. In this health/math lesson students make biscuits. Students are assigned a group to measure out ingredients. Students also discuss which part of the food pyramid biscuits fall into and the nutritional...

Sixth graders identify and measure right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders review the definition of each angle and are shown examples of each specific angle. Students use toothpicks, gumdrops, and...

Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus lesson. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians measurements.

Young scholars explore measurement and estimation with non-standard units. In this measurement lesson, students discuss items that could be used to measure; they use tooth picks to measure specific items around the classroom, both...

Students view a PowerPoint for a warm-up lesson. They practice measuring around the classroom, measuring such things as the length and width of a desk, pencil, door, and book. Students use a website to practice measuring angles.

High schoolers explore quadrilaterals in this geometry lesson. They will draw a quadrilateral, measure the angles, and find the sum of the measures of the interior angles using Cabri Jr. The interactive capabilities of Cabri Jr. allow...

Students discover the metric system through video clips and Internet activities. In this measurements lesson, students practice using the units of measure for the metric system and compare them to the less popular English system....

Young scholars relate math to real life scenarios. In this geometry activity, students launch a ball tracking each launch using a graph. They analyze their data for speed, angles and distance, trying to improve on each launch.

High schoolers investigate the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle. They draw a triangle and measure the interior angles. Using Cabri Jr., learners find the sum of the measures of the interior angles. The lesson provides an...

Students discover how to measure the circumference of objects. In this measurement lesson, students use a pumpkin and a tape measure to estimate and find the circumference of the pumpkin.

Your class will investigate the relationship among different triangles. This geometry lesson, demonstrates how to make a connection between triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem. They identify the missing side or angle of a triangle.
