Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

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

Learners discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

For this Saturn worksheet, students use a photograph of a hexagon feature on Saturn to solve three problems. These include finding the time it takes for the jet stream to complete one circuit around the hexagon, to find the size of the...

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Fourth graders work in a group of 4 to make rectangle with a 12m length of string. They discuss its perimeter and how they would calculate its area. Then another group of 4 make another rectangle and estimate if the area would be greater...

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

Fourth graders, acting as foresters, determine timber volumes as sawtimber or pulpwood for marketing. They find the marketable value of a tree using its diameter and volume.

Pupils participate in mapping an actual waterway. They include reach lengths, transects, compass reading, and scale determinations. They include windfalls, plant cover, types of streambed composition, and landmarks such as trees and...

Young scholars use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology lesson plan, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help...

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

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

Fourth graders explore the different types of ways to measure the distance between Florida and Japan.

Fourth graders research a Florida fish to determine its length. They display this information on two index cards, which are cut to the shape of the head and the tail and attached to a string that they measure and cut to the correct...

Students observe geometric shapes in their everyday lives.  In this middle school/high school mathematics lesson plan, students use their cell phone to record and publish their observations about the geometric shapes they...

Young scholars identify real world problems from given story problems. In this story problem lesson, students find places, events or items in the school environment that can be used to create story problems. Young scholars take a picture...

Seventh graders examine congruence postulates and apply knowledge to triangles in the world around them.

Students study the techniques of building a bridge. They explore different type of bridges and then plan and build a bridge to specified instructions. Students draw plans, keep a budget, and prepare balance sheets during their bridge...

Students create two drawings for a new animal pen design at the zoo. They must draw the ideas keeping the amount of material available in mind. They compare and contrast their two designs and write how they are similar in perimeter and...

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Students are introduced to the concept of aerial perspective and scale. Students will use satellite technology to view their neighborhoods and sketch the area surrounding their schools. They will take part in a neighborhood walk to view...

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.
