Fourth graders examine halves of a whole and discover through activities that they must be exactly equal in size. Working with Geoboards and Dot-Paper Squares, the class practices finding halves that are both congruent and incongruent.

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Second graders estimate capacities, compare pints and quarts, and identify pints and quarts.

Students use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

In these subtraction worksheets, students will subtract single and double digit subtrahends from double digit minuends. Students will need to regroup to solve.

Students measure and predict the behavior of a fractal.  In this investigative instructional activity students divide into groups, and participate in an activity that includes drawing triangles and coloring vertices.
