Six word problems provide practice for young geometers to review angles, the angle a of straight line, circles, right angles, and others. I like the approach of these questions; they require thinking and explaining, not just computation.

High schoolers measure various dimensions of a male and a female dolls body and scale them proportionally to average human measurements. They calculate the appropriate scale factor (magnitude) to enlarge their doll and apply that scale...

Students apply their knowledge of math by rewriting word problems using equations. In this word problem lesson, students build upon previous knowledge as they set up the correct steps to solve word problems. This lesson is full of hints...

The bounce of a golf ball changes the result in golf, mini golf—and a great math activity. Scholars graph the height of golf ball bounces before finding a line of best fit. They analyze their own data and the results of others to better...

Junior geometers investigate the concepts of angles and turns using straws to perform a hands on activity. This is helpful for kinesthetic learners who have a hard time with mathematics. The lesson includes the dialogue to be used during...

Combine measurement, following directions, physics, and art with one fun activity. Learners read a set of instruction to create three different kinds of paper airplanes. They measure, fold, and fly the planes, and record data and answer...

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

Examine ratios and proportions in several real-world scenarios. Children will calculate unit rates, work with proportions and percentages as they plan a party, purchase produce, and take a tally. This lesson plan recommends five...

Clarify the Common Core standards for your eighth grade mathematicians with this series of classroom displays. By rewriting each standard as an achievable "I can" statement, these posters give students clear goals to work toward...

Are they similar? The lesson provides an explanation of the angle-angle criterion for triangle similarity. Several problems allow the class to determine whether the two triangles with the given angle measures are similar or not. 

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...

Fifth graders complete measurement problems where they use powers of ten, read metric measurement tools, estimate measurements, and more. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders complete 10 problems.

Fourth graders explore perimeters. In this measurement lesson, 4th graders examine example problems that highlight how to calculate the perimeters of rectangles in inches and centimeters. Students also practice solving problems that...

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find the...
