Learners explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry lesson, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Learners use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines of symmetry...

Students recycle discarded automobile tires and create gardening sites for limited space areas.

Students explore and explain geometrical applications, and how to apply these applications to real life.

Sixth graders identify parallel and perpendicular lines in the alphabet. In this line properties lesson, 6th graders use the letters of the alphabet to show parallel and perpendicular lines. Students open a Geogrid Mat on the computer...

Fifth graders at this age are very interested in the adventures of knighthood and life in the past, so the unit will serve as a basis for teaching skills while maintaining high interest.

Students create a picture of an actual scene or overlap the called out lines or shapes into a space-breaker. If someone calls out a line or shape a student had not planned to use in the art, they have to figure out some way to use it...

Students study the nature of a satellite's orbit around the Earth.

Students are introduced to representative works of various artists including Paul Klee, Piet Mondrian, Sonia Delauny, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro and Henri Rosseau. They read books, participate in discussion and create original works of art.

In this unit of lessons, students make sense of the Census. They examine why a census is taken and participate in activities.

First graders explore estimating and measuring distances. They analyze and discuss a map of New York State, make estimations, measure distances using yarn, and calculate total distances between cities on the map.

Students make a rocket out of paper. They follow the given instructions and test to see if it will fly. They write about the experiment and are given the opportunity to change their varibles to make their rocket work.

Middle schoolers use satellite tracking software to monitor different satellites. They predict and graph the motion of the space station. They create a 3-D display of its path and share it with the class.

Student design and build Lego vehicles that drag given amount of weight up an incline. They show how this demonstrates Egyptian methods of pyramid construction.

Students go through various construction techniques needed to bisect angles, lines and arcs, construct a perpendicular from a vertex to a line, construct the center of a circle, transfer an angle, and various other constructions normally...

Sixth graders identify and draw two-dimensional representations of a three-dimensional object. Students investigate the views of an object and determine that three views are required (front, one side and the top). Students use these...

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Pupils explore the relationships among the lengths, areas, and volumes of similar solids. They also discover what effect doubling the dimensions of a figure has on the resulting area.

Students participate in a variety of activities to understand statistics. They collect and interpret data. Also students distinguish the difference between a population and a sample. They make inferences and create arguments using data.

Young scholars study the meaning, symbolism, and value of U.S. coins, especially the quarter. They conduct a survey of coins in students' possession, graphing the results to show frequency distribution and drawing inferences about the...

Students take pictures of items they believe have at least one line of symmetry. They print their photos out in class and analyze the items they photographed. They continue by entering the names of their pictures into a spreadsheet. They...

In this math worksheet, students work at home with a family member to identify triangles and find the areas. Students find 3 triangles in tile patterns, wallpaper, paintings or anywhere in the home and answer 6 questions.

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

Students explore the concept of minerals. In this minerals lesson, students discuss how cooling affects the size of crystals. Students discuss how the structure of minerals is a tetrahedron. Students discuss the structure of silicates...

Learners explore the concept of measurement.  For this measurement lesson, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body measurements.  Learners cut...
