Pupils work to find and reinforce concepts related to lines and angles. They identify the characteristics of shapes that have one, two, and three dimensions. The students also work on definitions related to the geometry of shapes.

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

Students find different characteristics of the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students analyze a family for a specific characteristic. They identify the shape, center, spread and area as they analyze the characteristic of the...

Connect math with science! Pupils apply properties of Ohms Law as they solve problems and identify the inverse relationship of a function. They analyze the shape of the graph of an inverse function and use it to make predictions.

Students investigate ways to enhance an object's flying ability.  In this model construction lesson, students construct two paper airplanes, one of which is twice as big as the first.  Students compare and contrast the two...

Young scholars investigate basic geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson, students explore solids through measuring and modeling. This assignment models the importance of understanding concrete objects in geometry.      

In this shoelace algorithm worksheet, students determine the area of a triangle when given the coordinates of the vertices. They determine the area of a quadrilateral. Students find the average of the x and y coordinates.

Fifth graders investigate mathematical concepts related to the construction of a three dimensional cube. They construct the cube from two dimensional patterns and compute the surface area. Students also define the faces, edges, and...

In this coordinates worksheet, students solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they write the coordinates of each of the points shown in the diagram. Then, students draw the quadrilateral that is described by the given...

In this observation of squares worksheet, students identify the square figures. In this coloring worksheet, students identify six squares.

In this effect of transformations on coordinates instructional activity, students determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions lesson, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation. This lesson...

Learners infer America's attitude towards aviation in the early 1900s. In this The Aerial Age instructional activity, students analyze early 1900s literature, music, advertisements, and popular culture in reference to aviation. Learners...

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Viewers learn how to identify and perform a variety of transformations with a video that provides seven items on transformations. Pupils demonstrate their understanding of dilations, reflections, rotations, and translations. The video...

How different can 3-D and 2-D really be? An engineering resource provides an explanation about the importance of two-dimensional technical drawings. Several samples show how to create multi-view drawings from pictorials and...

Students see how to identify regular polygons, how to slide, turn and flip polygons, and why certain polygons tessellate better than others. Groups create a one foot square design to be used to tile the classroom. Great lesson!

A cute folktale from Bali tells the story of Gecko, Elephant, and Buffalo, and Gecko's struggle to sleep. After reading Go to Sleep, Gecko, learners focus on comprehension questions, singing and learning about geckos, building...

Learners create a car using physics. In this forces and motion lesson, students create a car and test which changes in design change the performance of the car. Learners complete a graphic organizer with the different changes...

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

Have scholars show what they know with a 20-page assessment aligned to the California State Standards. The test covers concepts such as large and whole numbers, all four mathematical operations, fractions, decimals, geometric figures,...

Two videos show first how to perform a rotation, given the center, the angle, and the direction of rotations. Individuals then see how to find what the rotation is from one figure to another. Pupils practice doing both in seven problems...

How are forces and motion important to a swing set? Scholars explore the concepts of force and motion using swing sets. In preparation for their own STEM design project, individuals take surveys and data from peers, complete labs on...

In this galactic fact worksheet, learners read through important facts about galaxies, their shapes, and distances from the Sun.
