Young scholars research the animals at SeaWorld and then relate the info they have found into various types of graphs; line, circle and bar. This lesson combines math and science nicely. They access a website imbedded in this plan to do...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

NOT A LESSON Students

Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

Learners explore the need for good farm land and reasons for the disappearance of agricultural areas. They brainstorm environmental friendly decisions and soil conservation. In their community, students explore new land developments...

Fourth graders work in co-operative teams of four to complete a puzzle. Each student initially works independently, and then the team jointly puts together the four shapes they have individually made, to complete the puzzle.

Students, working in pairs, are presented with the problem. They are asked to design modular houses using four cubic modules, all the same size, which touch each other on complete faces. They must draw each of their houses on isometric...

Students are asked to explain the relationship between f(s) and f (-x). They are asked to determine how the equation of f(x) differs from the equation of f(-x). Students determine the conditions when f(x) is the same as f(-x). They graph...

Students harvest and thresh the seeds. They count the seeds and compare that number with the original number of seeds planted (8) to determine their profit or loss. Finally, students think about additional questions they have about...

In this algebra worksheet students graph a given function by completing the square. They analyze a function and tell the axis of symmetry, the intercepts, and vertex. Students identify the maximum or minimum of a graph. Students identify...

Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern lesson, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when dividing...

Students explore the concept of translations. In this translations lesson, students discuss similarities and differences between images and pre-images. Students apply translations to coordinates of figures. Students use patty paper to...

Students explore energy by participating in a science lab in class. For this energy form lesson, students define the different types of energy such as light, mechanical and sound while examining energy measuring tools in class. Students...

Pupils describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons activity, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Seventh graders research the origins of local electrical power and compare costs and methods of generation with other areas of the country or world.

Pupils play roll of fictional radio disk jockeys. They allocate their daily program time into fractional time slots for the playing of specified catagories of music and commercial advertisements.

Learners work together with a partnet to design a building. Using materials, they create the inside and outside of the structure along with works of art. They present their creation to the class and receive constructive criticism in return.

Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.

Fourth graders investigate congruent shapes. In this congruency lesson, 4th graders explore examples of congruent shapes. Students determine how to check for congruency by sliding or flipping the shape.

Students complete a chart (KWL) as a pre-assessment, study the history of tessellations (tilings), investigate the properties of tessellations, and make and evaluate photographs of "found tessellations" for a PowerPoint/HyperStudio...

Students write a persuasive argument to their principal to take their class trip to a destination of their choice. They must transfer the written argument into a website. They also focus on what it takes to plan a trip.

Students utilize LEGO's to replace cards for a game that replicates "Go Fish".
