In this Pythagorean theorem instructional activity, students determine if given side lengths for right triangles, find the length of the missing side in right triangles, and find the length of the diagonals formed in boxes given side...

Students sketch a still life picture. For this sketching lesson, students create a still life image using a cup and straws. Students create an original piece of art.

Pupils construct perpendicular lines. In this geometry instructional activity, students use a compass and straight edge to do construction. They start from a point to a line.

Students measure the angles of a milk carton. They identify and label acute, right, and obtuse angles. Using appropriate tools, students determine the volume of a cube or a rectangular prism. Students complete worksheets to...

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

Eighth graders practice calculating the unknown length of a right angle triangle. They also examine the pythogoram theory in groups. They help each other work through the problems.

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with examining two dimensional figures with different properties that include circles, triangles, queadrilaterals, etc... They identify the types of figures that is identified as polygons.

Pupils explore the concept of trapezoids.  In this trapezoids instructional activity, students identify legs and bases of a trapezoid.  Pupils discuss the similarities and differences between isosceles trapezoids and right...

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

Students explore the concept of triangle inequalities.  In this triangle inequality instructional activity, students cut spaghetti noodles into given lengths.  Students use the noodles to complete a worksheet about triangle...

Second graders describe a polygon in the form of a riddle.

For this mental math worksheet, middle schoolers use mental math to find the surface area and determine nets of the given shape. They use an information sheet as an aide to find the answer to 30 questions.

Students investigate how to track satellites using latitude and longitude. They investigate what man learns from all the satellites currently being studied today. Students analyze the four basic types of satellite orbits.

Students study a variety of geometric shapes by taking pictures of items representing the shapes with a digital camera. They identify the shapes by using software to paint on the image.

Students discover different geometric shapes such as triangle, square, rectangle, and octagon. Students incorporate the use of technology by taking pictures of shapes around their school using a digital camera.

Third graders become more familiar with various geometric shapes by completing the games and activities in this instructional activity. They keep track of the number of each shape they use in each of the three ways.

Fourth graders apply scientific information about various landforms. They use the information to write and word process acrostic poems which they illustrate with clip art or pictures from magazines.

Young scholars participate in lessons on Forces and Newton's Laws by selecting activities and assignments to complete in a Layer Unit. Students select assignments and activities in the C Level, B Level, and A Level.

High schoolers experiment and analyze triangulation to assess degrees of combined angles, predict polygons that tessellate as well as extending of shapes to create tessellations. They explore the concept of why some polygons tessellate...

Fourth graders investigate regular polygons. In this regular polygon lesson, 4th graders explore the attributes of different polygons. Students work in groups to complete a KWL chart regarding polygons.

Learners explore the concept of multi-step equations. In the multi-step equation lesson, students solve equations by the 'party method'. Learners make a flip book that shows the steps in solving multi-step equations.

Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.

Students measure muzzle velocity, and predict range of a projectile device.  In this motion lesson students complete a lab and explain the outcomes of their experiments. 

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.
