Congruency
Some of these may look congruent, but examine them closely. There are three sets of shapes here for scholars to analyze as they circle all the congruent figures. For each set, there are three congruent shapes which are oriented in...

Congruent Shapes
Which of these shapes is congruent? Young geometers examine five familiar shapes: triangle, oval, rectangle, triangle, and circle. Each is followed by a set of shapes, of which one is congruent. They circle the congruent shape. Consider...

Same Shape and Size
Can your kindergartners recognize shapes? What about when they are in different orientations? Youngsters study groups of shapes to determine which have the same shape and size. Two of the groups have triangles and ovals, and the other...

Shapes (Orienteering)
Students explore the tools of navigation. In this shapes lesson, students navigate using direction cues to create a shape. Students follow specific steps to create their shapes. Students use compasses to see the directions they are...

Soil Testing and Measurement
Students prepare their garden plot. In this gardening lesson, students use the Internet or book on plants to make sure the plants they have selected will be able to grow in their garden. The students assess and mark out the garden...

The Graph of a Linear Equation—Horizontal and Vertical Lines
Graph linear equations in standard form with one coefficient equal to zero. The lesson plan reviews graphing lines in standard form and moves to having y-coefficient zero. Pupils determine the orientation of the line and, through a...
Curated OER
Matching Directions
These abstract shapes are pointing in different directions and young scholars determine which ones are oriented the same way. For each of five starting shapes they examine a set of four identical figures pointing in various directions,...

Addition
Each of these addition equations involves two addends that are multiples of 10. Although there isn't any regrouping necessary, some of the sums are three-digit. The first 16 of these 28 equations are vertically oriented and the second 12...
Curated OER
Decimal Addition
Use this guided set of equations to help scholars add double-digit numbers with decimals. They examine two examples before trying these on their own, many of which require regrouping. All of these have decimals to the hundredths place....
Alabama Learning Exchange
Place Value Party
Help your young mathematicians master three-digit place value with a hands-on activity that builds on their social orientation. They create a place value house from construction paper and sort "number friends" according to which house...
Concord Consortium
Boards III
Learn to visualize mathematical patterns as a folded pattern. Beginning with a visual display, the task encourages pupils to view sequences as a folded table. The pattern of the table then becomes a formula in a spreadsheet that...

Name That Shape
It can be so much fun to learn about new shapes! Kindergartners are shown a series of different shapes; each one is a different color, size, or orientation. They look at the shapes and discuss that no matter their color or size, a square...

Multiplication and Division within 100
Nothing out of the ordinary here; young mathematicians complete two multiplication and two division problems with whole-number products and quotients. Because the answer is described below, this would work best as an all-class warm up,...

Introduction to Field Mapping with a Compass and Pace
Students practice using compass and calibrate their own pace, take field measurements of pre-set course with compass and pace, convert measurements into map, using angles and vectors, and make composite class map by adjusting different...

Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Pupils study angle measurements between different types of angles associated with parallel lines and transversals. The independent practice asks pupils to identify the types of angles in a diagram and to determine the measure of angles.
Curated OER
Matching Directions
These shapes are pointing all over the place. Learners examine rows of crazy shapes to find the one pointing in the same direction as the first in the row. Keep in mind, these aren't the shapes your mathematicians are used to. Because...

Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
What does similarity have to do with the Pythagorean Theorem? The activity steps through the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem by using similar triangles. Next, the teacher leads a discussion of the proof and follows it by an animated...
