These short sentences will give your budding writers practice printing whole words and leaving space between them. They copy two short sentences and are instructed to leave a finger space between words. Learners illustrate the first...

When scholars re-tell a story, do they boil it down to important details in a logical order? Practice summarizing narratives using this think-aloud strategy, which is scripted here for your convenience. After explaining why this is an...

Viewers of this slide show learn that pesticides used on food crops can be harmful, but that there are certain allowable levels that should not be hazardous. They find out the rigorous process of inspection that meat must go through...

There are an infinite number of points on a circle; can you find nine of them? After putting together a nine-point circle, pupils use constructions and their knowledge of triangle segments to determine the center of the circle. Learners...

Disguises and role playing are the focus of a resource that uses Shakespeare’s As You Like It, Twelfth Night, and Henry IV, Part I, to demonstrate how we all play many parts in our lives; how we all are “merely players.” The many...

Students follow a power point presentation to practice the sounds each letter of the alphabet make. In this 'what's my sound' lesson, students apply word recognition strategies and demonstrate listening and comprehension skills to build...

In this algebra worksheet, pupils determine the quadrant a given point is in. They find the midpoints of two line segments. Students plot points to form a triangle and find the distance between points. Pupils find the area of the...

Learners explore language fluency by identifying word segments. In this word structure lesson, students utilize words from their vocabulary lesson, dissect them into syllables and sound out their individual parts. Learners participate in...

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and the angles formed when cut by a transversal. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders construct perpendicular lines and discuss midpoint, segments and perpendicular bisectors. They relate...

Students practice creating optical illusions as well as discerning how perception of information may change its characteristics. They distinguish between an equilateral triangle, endpoints, vertices's, and segments of triangles. The...

Simulate a random sampling of data by tearing 20 sheets of paper into slips and place a number on 10 and a letter on 10. They place the slips in two separate containers and randomly draw a number and a letter. They record their...

In this phonics learning exercise, students participate in a class game which reinforces the phonetic sounds and blends. The full color caterpillar pieces on this page are laminated and the head is placed on the carpet with the children...

In this skills worksheet, students explain the Segment Addition Postulate, provide examples and counter examples and determine congruent line segments.  This one-page worksheet contains 11 multi-step problems.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders identify the vocabulary associated with the Triangle Midsegment Theorem and solve problems in which they find the size of a missing angle or segment.  The one page worksheet contains nineteen...

In this midpoint formula activity, students find the midpoint of line segments. Students identify the midpoint from information given on a graph and from ordered pairs representing the endpoints. They solve 14 problems on two pages. ...

In this solar storms instructional activity, students use a diagram given the location of two STEREO spacecraft satellites, a coronal mass ejection, the sun and the Earth to solve 2 problems about the coronal mass ejection. Students use...

In this geometry activity, 10th graders are presented with a problem involving semicircles.  The diagram appears simple, though it turns out to have a many segments to be labeled with variables.  The key to solving the problem...

Can your class solve right triangles and identify the properties common to right triangles? They will investigate and state the relationship between the altitude to the hypotenuse and the two segments of the hypotenuse formed by the...

Students develop their awareness that straight line segments can produce the illusion of a curve and helps them recognize and describe number patterns and geometric fundamentals.

Students develop their geography skills. In this Lewis and Clark lesson, students collaborate to calculate the time and distance of different segments of the expedition. Students compare their estimate to Lewis and Clark's.

Sixth graders find the perimeters of polygons and use perimeters to form polygons. In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders study vocabulary associated with finding perimeter such as polygon, line segment, variable, and formula. They make...

In this perpendicular bisector worksheet, students fold paper, according to instructions, to discover the perpendicular bisector of a segment.  They explore the distances from the bisector to the endpoints of a specified...

Students explore radio news formats, styles, and sequences, and then write segments for a student-centered news radio program. In small groups, students develop and write news segments for a student-centered radio program.

Fifth graders explore geometric building blocks in the real world in order to describe the characteristics and relationships of points, lines, line segments, rays, and planes. This is the first lesson plan in a series of lessons in...
