Young scholars build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Young scholars 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...

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

In this math learning exercise, students examine the graph of the derivative. Then they determine the critical points that correspond to the relative extrema.

Students solve problems involving triangles. In this geometry lesson, students apply properties of triangles to find the missing angles and sides. They identify angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Students work with given formulas to solve for specific variables. The calculation of the volume of a cylinder and the change in volume when there is a constant surface area is analyzed in this lesson.

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

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.

Fifth graders use Geoboards to demonstrate how shapes can be made by looping the rubber bands over the nails. They make a triangle on their Geoboards. At least one side of the triangle should be either horizontal or vertical. The picture...

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Seventh graders organize a 20 x 17 room with a given set of furniture pieces. Arrangement is to be based on maximum comfort and practicality. This lesson is a good way to teach and reinforce the mathematical concept of area.

Learners examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students...

Students design a collage of pictures for a yearbook that make a shape. They determine the area of the shape and the price of putting the collage in the yearbook.

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

This PowerPoint enables students to review mathematical terms in an interactive review game format. The slides contain a question about a mathematical term and the students must answer with the correct vocabulary word in order to get...

Fifth graders throw darts, collecting data for distance traveled. For this data analysis lesson, 5th graders throw a dart using an atlatl. They calculate the speed for each throw and determine the best dart length for distance throws.

Students examine the decomposition process. They create their own class compost pile and record their observations. They discover which materials decompose at a different rate.

Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will...

In this estimation worksheet, learners estimate the distance on a city map based on the scale given to them. Students answer 4 short answer questions.

More compass practice! This activity has your scholars practicing getting their bearings. They will participate in a schoolyard compass game where they will have a specific starting point and then navigate through the course according to...

Learners conduct their personal investigations into paper airplane flight. Cooperative teams are formed, with students choosing the paper airplane design that they are most interested in building.

Pupils study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.
