Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Sixth graders use number cubes to explore volume of two-dimensional shapes. They roll a die and construct a shape using the numbers rolled as measurements of the sides. They estimate the volume of a given object, and then use the...

Sixth graders discuss the characteristics of specific angles and then use the information to to identify and estimate given angles. The class goes outside, identifies north, and turns a specified amount of degrees. Using a given compass,...

Fourth graders investigate a range of circles, each with a different radius, diameter and circumference and assemble this information in their search for relationships.The measurement of circles and the relationships to be found within...

Middle schoolers explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on middle schoolers.

In this elementary math worksheet, 4th graders practice solving problems for reviewing the concepts of number sentences, numeration, and geometry.

There are many different ways to show a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.  Here is a nice hands-on paper cutting activity that shows a graphic representation. You can even challenge your young Pythagoreans to come up with their own...

In this dream bedroom worksheet, students fill in the grid to make a floor plan for their dream bedroom. Students follow 4 sets of directions for filling in the grid.

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.

Learners practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

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

Students explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

Second graders, in groups, prepare a list of proposed record ideas for the class book.

Second graders design a successful kite for Kite Day.

Students play a math game to reinforce math skills. They calculate a problem, if they have the card with the correct answer, they hold that card up. All incorrect cards go to the student holding the correct answer or the teacher.

Students participate in a math game. In the game, any math problem is allowed as long as the answer is between 1 to 100.

Fifth graders determine which container made from a single sheet of paper has the greatest volume. They look the solutions made by three different students before working on their own examples.

Young scholars take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Middle schoolers conduct a review that is done right before having a geometry quiz. They cover major topics that are part of the assessment. They use review cards as notes to pass to one another to reinforce the concepts before putting...

Students participate in an estimation activity to determine the length of a hallway or to estimate how many people can fit in the school stadium or gym.

Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.

In this formula learning exercise, students use formulas to solve 5 word problems, showing their work. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.
