Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

In this compound shapes worksheet, students solve 40 problems in which the area and perimeter of compound shapes is calculated. There are instructions and examples on this page, which is intended to be used on-line, but can be completed...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Eighth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people.  In this eight grade math/science lesson, 8th graders collect and analyze data regarding the speed and distance of a dart thrown with an atlatl.  Students choose the...

Young scholars create a classroom quilt that illustrates the many unique ways that students use math skills.

Second graders work with liters and milliliters for measurement.

Students identify the effect the change of dimensions causes for the volume and surface area. In this geometry lesson, students compare perimeter, area and volume as they play around with the dimensions of the polygons. They discuss...

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

Students participate in various activities, measuring their pulse rates and recording the data. They analyze the statistical concepts of mean, median, mode, and histograms using the data from the cardiovascular activities.

Students prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English...

Second graders accurately measure the distances they and their classmates jump. They determine the mean, median and mode of specific jumps. They are required to have two measurements for each classmate, one for standing long jump and one...

Students calculate the distance they will travel. In this geometry activity, students use the TI and CBL system to make calculation of a certain path. They explore geography by calculating distances between different areas as it relates...

Students use compasses and grids to map the locations of artifacts found in a simulated dig site. In groups, they role-play as future archeologists excavating a school site. Groups begin at their assigned datum and site the artifacts...

In this fractions activity, students solve 10 short answer problems. Students find items around their home and weigh them. Students convert units from one unit to another in the customary system.
