Fifth graders calculate the diameters and radius of planets as a book is read to them. In this diameter and radius lesson plan, 5th graders read the book Space Circles and calculate the measurements based on the information in this book.

Students investigate the side splitter theorem. In this geometry lesson, students estimate and solve problems dealing with ratios and proportions. They identify angles created by lines that are parallel.

Students identify the measure of missing exterior angles. In this geometry lesson,students define and apply the exterior angle theorem to solve problems. They use Cabri software to create different angles and make investigations.

Students are introduced to the topic of congruence and proportions in Geometry. Using technology, they construct and validate the properties of various geometric figures and identify whether it is congruent or proportion to the objects...

Sixth graders study addition and subtraction facts. In equal groups, they play a race game to correctly solve addition and subtraction problems. Using a PowerPoint presentation, the teacher demonstrates how to write word problems and...

Fourth graders identify line symmetry. In this geometry lesson, 4th graders are given various pictures and identify if they are symmetrical. Students search through magazines for symmetrical pictures.

High schoolers investigate the dangers Coral Reefs face by investigating satellite images.  In this environmental protection lesson, students utilize the Internet to discover the types of satellites and sensors used to provide...

Students identify polygons.  For this geometric shape lesson, students explore the characteristics of polygons.  They identify polygons, and classify triangles according to their sides and angles.  Students create a poster...

Young scholars use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

Ninth graders identify quadrilaterals and label the vertices of quadrilaterals. they justify their identification of the quadrilaterals. Students work in groups to identify and create quadrilaterals

Students solve various word problems that deal with common denominators, and write the mathematical explanations they used to obtain the solutions.

First graders take a discovery walk around the school. They use their observations to compose a class book about their school.

Middle schoolers relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.

Young scholars examine how to relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.

Young scholars investigate basic concept of fractions by using a version of the game Jeopardy. The game is played using a television monitor or projector for the integration of technology. The lesson is highly engaging and can hold...

Students use candy to explore fractions and percentages.

Students measure angles.  In this angle lesson, students draw angles.  They  use a protractor to measure angles and identify the angle as straight, right, acute, or obtuse. 

Sixth graders use the prime factorization of numbers to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple. Working in small groups, they solve problems using the greatest common factor and least common multiple.

Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Aspiring statisticians create tree diagrams and figure probabilities of events based on those diagrams. They practice adding and multiplying fractions and explain complementary probabilities. Students use computers activities to make...

Students explore Geometry with Twizzlers Candy, pipe cleaners, paper, pencils, and protractors. They manipulate these items to create different angles introduced by the teacher.

Fifth graders design their own house, while also using problem-solving skills involving perimeter and area. They exchange houses with a partner and find the perimeter and area of the window, doors, and front side of the house.

In this biography/autobiography lesson, learners read a few biographies and discuss the term and it's characteristics. Students then brainstorm what makes a good biography/autobiography and create an 'All about me' poster. Suggested...

Fourth graders, using a straight edge, determine whether a point is inside or outside of a given figure. With worksheets, 4th graders practice analyzing geometric relationships such as parallel to, perpendicular to, etc.
