Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

In this scale drawing worksheet, students complete three different scale drawing activities.  One activity is making a scale drawing, one involves answering questions from a given scale drawing, and one is a cross-number...

Students solve problems by finding the perimeter and area of an enclosed area. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between the area and the perimeter. They see how they relate and how to use it to maximize an...

First graders use geometric shapes to create and extend patterns. Students read a book and view African garments. They identify patterns in the garments. Students create and decorate a paper vest with geometric patterns.

Middle schoolers compute area.  In this perimeter, area and volume lesson, students examine given objects and determine the perimeter, area, and volume of each. 

In this solar sunspot worksheet, learners use two photographs from the Hinode solar observatory showing a sunspot on the solar surface. Students solve 5 problems including finding the scale of the images, determining the smallest detail...

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.

Students define area and perimeter. They demonstrate understanding of the concepts concretely, with manipulatives, and describe with words, their strategies and thought processes.

Students examine a chart that lists the main characteristics of polygons and 3 dimensional figures. They make examples of the polygons and figures using pretzels and gum drops showing how the gum drops are vertices and the pretzels are...

Students identify polygons.  In this polygon people lesson, students draw required shapes and construct a polygon person.  They identify each shape and its characteristics.  The lesson may be extended by allowing students...

Learners construct three-dimensional models of the three pyramids at Giza. They research the building of the pyramids and record the height, base and angle measurements of each pyramid. They create a file of facts regarding the pyramids.

For this substitution formula worksheet, students solve 9 various types of problems related to applying the substitution formula. First, they use a number line to add or subtract negative integers. Then, students substitute numbers for...

In this online index notation worksheet, students fill in the missing powers in four statements, calculate nine math problems, fill in the missing bases and powers in six statements, calculate six higher power equations and fill in the...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the area of regular polygons.  The two page worksheet contains eight problems.  Answers provided. 

Second graders use a number line to understand multiples.  In this number line lesson, 2nd graders use a floor size number line and calculate problems with multiples. Students complete a worksheet with multiples.

In this geometry learning exercise, students create words making a right angles each time. There are 50 questions to be solved with an answer key.

Tenth graders discuss the history of geometry as it relates to pentagons. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders solve problems of a pentagon inscribed inside of a circle using ratio. They review other properties for shapes of polygons...

Students explore biology by identifying a diagram. In this cell anatomy lesson, students read a story about archeology and conduct a fictitious archeology dig in class in which they search for animal cells. Students define a list of...

Sometimes a skeleton is all you get. This lesson outline provides teachers with a basic lesson flow. Pupils will pre-test, order place value names, use manipulatives, and build and compare numbers. How this is to be done is not...
