Introduce your young geometers to Hypatia, the first noted Greek female mathematician, and the properties of angles. Though this resource is missing worksheets that are needed to complete the instructional activity, the structure is...

In this algebraic expression worksheet, students simplify algebraic expressions and solve proportions, and write equations from story problems. Thirteen of the 49 problems are fill in the blank, and the remainder are multiple choice.

Vectors and their connection to motion. A video will be presented to provide information for the class to use methods of solving vectors with and without grids. Real-world physical concepts will be explored in reference to vectors.

In this measurement instructional activity, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

Young scholars explore the concept of tessellations. For this tessellations lesson, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Young scholars use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry in...

First graders investigate the concept of surface area and find the coverage for the surfaces in a building that includes carpet or walls. The application of finding the area is practical using the everyday objects to help them to make...

Learners add and multiply matrices. They explore the dimensions of products of a matrix. After observing problems on the overhead, students solve their own matrix problems. They list and define the properties of matrix multiplication.

Hopefully nothing gets lost in translation. Pupils translate between verbal phrases and algebraic expressions. They then use candy to determine what values to substitute into the expressions.

Pupils view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Students discuss methods to solve equations and inequalities with one variable. As a review, they write Addition and Subtraction properties of equality and Multiplication and Division properties of equality. Students graph points, write...

Learners investigate place value in base ten. For this number sense lesson, students participate in an online lesson at www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/NumberBaseClocks and demonstrate how to convert numbers from base ten to...

Students explore the concept of Pascal's Triangle. In this Pascal's Triangle lesson, students use an applet called 'Coloring Multiples' to explore Pascal's Triangle. Students develop patterns starting with various numbers in Pascal's...

Students identify and apply properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students define equilateral triangles by sides and angles. They build cardboard triangles as they study properties of triangles.

Fourth graders explore triangles. In this math lesson plan, 4th graders discuss the different types of triangles. Students create triangles using wiki sticks. Students complete an online matching game.

Middle schoolers practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a...

Fifth graders explore shapes. They recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Pupils discuss the properties and criteria for each shape they find in real life and construct a Kid Pix project using pictures of the...

A lesson on classification and sorting is here for you. Elementary schoolers participate in an interactive computer game in which they sort books by theme. They take a trip to the library to observe and discuss how books are sorted, and...

Pupils practice multiplying and dividing whole numbers by fractions. They study the multiplicative identity property that states that the product of any number and 1 is that number. They multiply whole numbers by fractions close to 1 and...

Students calculate the volume and surface area of each shape. In this geometry lesson, students use nets and other three dimensional polygons to create visuals of the volume of a shape. They define important vocabulary words...

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Learners solve math problems involving subtracting with regrouping. They practice the steps for subtracting in the hundreds place with regrouping, through teacher guided practice. Independently, pupils complete story problems involving...

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