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.

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

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,...

Students 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. Students take a picture of the...

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

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

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...

Students 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 them away...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

Students work together to convert scale dimensions to determine the true size of the International Space Station. They create a full-scale outline of the station. They share their layout with the class.

Second graders design a successful kite for Kite Day.
