Middle schoolers will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore...

Discover ways to measure items without standard tools. In this measurements lesson, learners estimate how long certain objects are by measuring with a non-standard measuring tool. Students check their estimates with a ruler and share...

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

Learners explore scale factor as they create a scale drawing of a box, then determine the surface area and volume of the original and the scale drawing. The one page worksheet contains activities and procedures with four questions....

Help your young mathematicians completely master 10 by practicing one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, and recording numbers displayed. They make 10 with groups of two-different colored cubes and color in 10-frames to show how...

Learners measure the amount of surface tension using a balance scale after a classroom demonstration students diagram the appearance of several liquids and label them.

Students complete experiments to determine how rocket fuel is affected by surface area and temperature. They compare the reaction rates of antacid tablets. They discuss their results to complete the lesson.

Students will examine solids to determine which has the least surface area. They will also understand the use of units, square units, and cubic units. There is also the teaching and application of geometry formulas to perform calculations.

Students discover that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. They are shown how a triangle is formed using three strips such as that the triangle is seen inside the strips.

Third graders practice using the commutative and associative properties. In this multiplication lesson, 3rd graders simplify a series of problems using multiplication sentences and complete a worksheet. 

Students explore finding the surface area and volume of cubes and cylinders. They construct similar three-dimensional figures from a two-dimensional drawing. Students derive the formula for volume and surface area through examination...

Eleventh graders examine the qualities of a leader.  In this American History lesson, 11th graders read the story of Nathaniel Bowditch and use it as a catalyst for discussions on leadership and the definition of a hero.  

Students define matter, the chemical properties of matter, and the physical properties of matter. They name physical and chemical properties of matter (by classifying using a Tree Map). Students determine the mass, volume, and density of...

Pupils explore the identity properties of multiplication and of addition. They answer riddles that have to do with the identity properties and observe the teacher explanation of each property as they are modeled on the board. Students...

Students define important vocabulary words using a dictionary. In this geometry lesson, students identify and use properties of triangles to solve problems. They identify the median. altitude and angles as well as properties of...

Young scholars study polygons. In this math instructional activity, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Young scholars identify the properties of quadrilaterals.

Students use construction technology to identify and find relationships between the attributes of various quadrilaterals. They make and test conjectures about the distinguishing properties of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses,...

Students explore the physical properties of density. In this hands-on lesson, students calculate density and distinguish between intensive and extensive properties.

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. For this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

Pupils review angles, sides, and properties of basic shapes. Using a geoboard, they make as many different tirangles as possible.

Students explore the concept of concurrent lines in triangles. In this concurrent lines in triangles lesson, students work in groups to investigate properties of concurrent lines in acute, right, and obtuse triangles. Students use a...

Learners identify the properties of quadrilaterals. In this geometry instructional activity, students investigate the history of quadrilaterals and different types of quadrilaterals. They identify the length and mid-segment of each shape.

Students participate in activities to investigate properties of numbers. They identify prime and composite numbers and determine the patterns associated with these numbers. They answer questions associated with each activity.

Learners identify the different properties of Euler's Characteristics. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the shape and surface a polygon. They relate the concept of Euler to solving real world problems.
