The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

What does math have to do with the behavior of the earth and sun? Learn how the movement of celestial bodies has influenced the development of trigonometry. Scholars connects the details in mathematics to their...

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Learn how to calculate the length and midsegments of triangles. Students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They create a spreadsheet with their findings.

Find the length of an arc. Students relate central angles to the area and length of a sector and graph circles on the TI to make predictions.

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume, learn the terminology used with surface area and volume and have experimented with the surface area and volume of different prisms.

Students identify angles.  In this angles that pair lesson, students identify adjacent, vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles.  They use straws, pretzel sticks to demonstrate given types of angles. 

Young scholars investigate the concept of building materials and how they are used to create different things. They focus upon the availability, cost, flexibility, and strength of different building materials. This is done by taking part...

Seventh graders recognize the characteristics of isosceles triangles. In this isosceles triangle lesson, 7th graders use geoboards to create isosceles triangles. Students record results and explain why they have an isosceles triangle.

Students use triangulation method to locate meteorite landing site on the map. In this earth science lesson plan, students participate in a meteorite treasure hunt set up by the teacher. They explain how this method is used by scientists...

Surface area is defined and how to determine the surface area of a prism is explored.
