Internet Field Trip on Fractions and Geometry
Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.
Curated OER
Lines, Segments, and Rays
Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.
Curated OER
Secant and Secant Segments
Students use the secant and secant segment theorem to solve problems. For this calculus lesson, students identify where the secant line crosses on a circle. They create circles and secants using cabri software.
Curated OER
Irregular Fractals
Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.
Curated OER
Angles Lesson Plan
Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.
Curated OER
Squares Have Roots?
Students define a square and connect this information to a square root. In this square root lesson, students make a chart listing square numbers and their roots.
Curated OER
Squares to Compare
Learners investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)
