Curated OER
Launches for the Stars
Young scholars are introduced to rockets and the space shuttle program. After viewing a 1960s show, they examine the role and history of NASA and how it evolved into having a space shuttle program. In groups, they create their own model...
Curated OER
Balancing Act
Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Pythagorean Theorem
Need a few extra examples on using the Pythagorean Theorem? Here is a lesson that uses pictures of New York City’s buildings as a model, and young architects find the height of the building. Consider adding more examples to further...
Curated OER
Geometry In the Yard
Students are responsible for creating a border around a triangular garden spot, of which they know the measurements for two sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the third side and complete the garden.
