Now this lesson sounds fun! Students throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

More planning goes into a budget than a high schooler thinks. Here, they learn about the expected expenses and incomes, along with outside factors such as natural disasters. Learners prepare their own budget and adjust it based on...

We know theorems about circles—now what? Class members prove a theorem, with half the class taking the case where a point is inside the circle and half the class taking the case where a point is outside the circle. The lesson then...

Kindergartners demonstrate their ability to describe the relative positions of two objects. The two problems at the top of the activity are followed by written and illustrated explanations of the meanings of inside and “outside.”

Students read books, learn about the letter s, and eat raisins all to learn about shadows. In this shadows lesson plan, students also go outside and look at shadows and sing songs about shadows.

In this inside/outside instructional activity, students check whether objects are shown inside or outside a box. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this angles in circles worksheet, students explore angles outside a circle. Using given trigonometric ratios, they find the missing angle measurement or the length of a line. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

In this inside and outside worksheet, students, working with a partner, determine how to identify the positions of inside and outside utilizing a piece of string and two buttons.

Whales are all big, but some are larger than others! Kids will love sorting the 10 whale species by size at their desk (whale cut-outs provided). Next, use a whale rope to visualize how long each of these whales actually is. A large...

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

First graders study daily weather changes. In this weather and graphing lesson, 1st graders chart the daily weather for a month using stickers or weather symbols. They graph the weekly weather so that at the end of the month students...

It doesn't matter whether secant lines intersect inside or outside the circle, right? Scholars extend concepts from the previous lesson to investigate angles created by secant lines that intersect at a point exterior to the circle....

In this polynomials worksheet, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include multiplication. First, they multiply the first terms of each binomial. Then, students multiply the outside terms and then the inside terms....

In this identifying parallel lines worksheet, students discover examples of parallel lines at school, home, and outside and list them on a chart. Students write at least 10 short answers.

Explore geometry with your young mathematicians! First, have them color in different two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Then take them on a walk around the classroom. Can they identify different shapes using the target...

Here is an excellent cross-curricular lesson. Learners relate multiplication to area by making a grid on graph paper, and then creating the same grid in real space outside in the school yard.

First graders observe examples of the three states of matter and identify matter in each of the three states. They make glitter wands to remind them of the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Pupils brainstorm and record...

This is great go-to activity for those spring or fall days when the weather beckons your geometry class outside. Learners start with a small tree, devising strategies to accurately estimate the leaf count. They must then tackle the...

As an introduction to Steiner Trees, class members are challenged to find the shortest paths to connect multiple points. The teacher introduces the problem by showing how to connect three points. Groups then go outside and construct a...

How long of a line can you draw within this activity? Learners pick two points outside and within the map to create the longest line they can. After drawing 10 lines, learners plot the length of each line on a line plot. Then they...

Eighth graders gain a better understanding of visual distances and estimation. They actively practice using metric measurement and conversion. Students practice cooperative exploring and team building.

Don't just think outside of the box — read outside of it! The 15th lesson in a 22-part unit provides pupils more work with box plots. Learners read the box plots to estimate the five-number summary and interpret it within the context....

Students calculate the rate of speed of various moving objects within the classroom setting, or outside under a controlled environment.
