Students participate in a project which incorporates science with reading, writing, social studies, and technology. Through several activities over a 15 day period, they explore the computer, digital camera, computer software programs...

In this unit of lessons, students make sense of the Census. They examine why a census is taken and participate in activities.

Fifth graders define the meaning of similar and congruent using concrete objects. They make similar and congruent figures using geoboards. They draw their figures on dot paper, and color their designs.

Students estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

In this unit of lessons, students make sense of the census. They examine why a census is taken and participate in activities.

Ninth graders take a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box) and cut it up to make a new, cubical box with the same volume as the original. In so doing, they will discover that because the cubical box has less surface area than the...

The objective of this lesson is for students to, "explore spatial relationships by determining the area of various shapes and creating tessellation patterns." Using a variety of hands-on activities, students apply concepts of geometry,...

The Math Forum defines and illustrates geometric tessellation.

This lesson plan on early patterning is well written, well planned, and extensive. The math content is substantial for this age. There are lots of connections to other content areas. Materials needed are readily available or provided for...

Practice fractions, counting money, understanding spatial relationships, perimeter measurement, and basic arithmetic calculations such as adding, subtracting, simple multiplying and dividing while earning points in this fast-paced game.

Excellent interactive challenge working with cube nets to stack them in a specific order. Manipulate the cubes online to solve the problem.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

Can there be a connection between map making and math? Explore the mathematics of cartography in this resource that integrates web-based instruction, mathematical problem solving, geometry, history, and art. Interesting information and...

Sharpen your logic and spatial sense skills while working on this challenge. Solution included.

Sharpen your problem solving, sequencing, and spatial reasoning skills playing this interactive game, Roll The Dice. See how many different paths you can take to end up with the same result.

This interactive game is based on a famous character in a Thai legend. See if you can figure out how he escaped! You will have to use your problem solving and spatial relationship skills to figure out this one.

Discover how the geometric shape of an object directly relates to its usefullness in this math challenge from the NCTM Math Challenges for Families collection. A one page activity that you can print or download.

An integrated geometry lesson on spatial sense in which students identify and use different shapes to create a tessellation. "Through a variety of modalities such as writing, music, art, poetry, and literature, students are introduced to...

Given an unlimited number of a specific type of equilateral, isosceles, and right triangles create as many tetrahedra as are possible. Includes printout.

In this enrichment game, the nets for nine solids are displayed. The twist is that each net has been cut into two pieces. The challenge is find the pieces that go together.

Third graders apply measurement, graphing, and data skills to the real world context of physical education with standing jumps.

Third graders create line plots and analyze data using measurement data with quarter unit fractions.

This one page Mathworld site has a number of examples of semiregular tessellations. A definition and a small amount of related information is given at the bottom of the page.

This interactive activity gives you an opportunity to explore a specific number pattern named the "Fibonacci sequence." See what other patterns you can discover while you manipulate the blocks. There is a "Printable Page" link if you...
