Students measure and label specified angles. In this angles lesson, students use a protractor to find angles that are acute, obtuse, and reflexive. Students then label each angle and match the angles the correct definition. This lesson...

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang lesson, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then create a...

How do you solve equations with more than one variable? Scholars view a video that explains solving literal equations as simply an extension of solving simple equations. Once they have a handle on the concept, they work on several...

In what ways can you transform a graph? An engaging video answers this question as it covers reflections, translations, and stretches of graphs. To test their knowledge, individuals complete a set of problems to apply this knowledge.

Ninth graders operate a model to observe the type of motion that occurs at a fault during an earthquake. They explore the effects of several variables. Students measure movement, calculate averages and plot and graph information.

Fifth graders investigate possible solutions to a word problem. They explore properties of polygons and right angles. Students demonstrate proper angle measurement. Students discover patterns.

Learners measure and calculate the angle of the sun. They compare the leaf types on the north and south to compare the effects of the sun on the type of vegetation. They complete the activities inside the classroom or on a trip to a...

Students measure the angles of wings and tails of various aircraft using a protractor. They estimate and check their measurements. They investigate aircraft being developed and tested at NASA Dryden.

Students explore how electronic screens use only three colors to produce the colors that people see on the screen. They make and test a color wheel.

Fifth graders describe and demonstrate how trigonometry can be used to find the height of a tall building or tree. They describe and demonstrate how trigonometry can be used to find the height of a high hill, or other high object where...

Students use geometry or trigonometry to measure the distance of a far off point. They verify their measurements using a tape measure to check their work.

Students explore the concept of triangle inequalities.  In this triangle inequality lesson, students cut spaghetti noodles into given lengths.  Students use the noodles to complete a worksheet about triangle inequalities. ...

Students use wax paper to look at different properties of circles such as chords, tangent lines, inscribed angles, and inscribed angles in a semi-circle, as well as finding the center of the circle, and use GSP to investigate cyclic...

Learners bisect angles and segments using a mira. They measure the original angles and segments and the angles and segments formed by bisecting to better see the relationship between them.

Students explore math and art concepts, create digital art examples of the concepts, and incorporate these works into a PowerPoint portfolio with explanation and analysis.

In this New York State grade 5 math testing worksheet packet, 5th graders complete a total of 26 multiple choice problems that use a variety of 5th grade math concepts. 

Students evaluate the acceptable use of classroom space. The class participated in a brief lecture and discuss of floor plans and how they are used in architecture. Using graph paper, they create a scale drawing of the classroom...

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Fifth graders determine how to calculate the perimeter and area of given geometric shapes. They use specific shapes to create a picture using a software program. They determine the area and perimeter of the shapes used in the picture.

Learners represent and solve problems using geometric models and apply geometric properties and relationships. They also practice constructing and measuring angles. By constructing, drawing, visualizing, and comparing geometric figures...

Students investigate how to read a topographical map and triangulate with just a map. They convert a compass measurement to a protractor measurement, reverse a bearing direction, and using a worksheet take a bearing of certain landmarks...

Students study what makes Earth warm and explore how different locations on the planetreceive different amounts of solar energy based on the intensity of the sun's rays. They calculate light intensities and compare the amounts of light...

Students construct a sketch of the planets in our solar system using concentric circles and angles. In this solar system lesson plan, students plot the position of each planet on concentric circles using graph paper. The sun is included...

Pupils explore the concept of angles by interacting with numerous types of measurements. They create index cards with different angles. Then they pass the cards around to other students for comparison and measurement. They practice the...
