A General Certificate of Secondary Education math review has class members make basic constructions. Using a protractor and a ruler along with a compass, pupils develop drawings of triangles with given measurements. Scholars use their...

Learners gain an appreciation of the polygons and polyhedrons around them that make their world one of order and strength. They build polygons and polyhedrons, and then construct airplanes out of polygons.

Students learn the basic definitions of a quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle and square and explain the relationship/classification process between them.

Your class examines a series of shapes and discusses how we know that they are not circles. In this way, you begin to acquaint them with the properties and parts of this geometric figure. Then, teach them how to use a protractor to...

Learners explore angle relationships and measure angles with a protractor by hand and online. They explore various websites and complete online activities and complete a worksheet.

Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  In this pennies lesson plan, students work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of a pin...

Your geometry learners will appreciate this net for a square pyramid. Copy, cut, and manipulate to explore the surface area or volume of a square pyramid.

In this volume worksheet, students calculate the volume by finding out how many units each figure has. Students complete 4 problems where they find the volume.

Here is a great science lesson. It extends the concept of vision into the area of optical illusions, perspective, and tessellation. This well-designed plan has tons of great activities, utilizes interesting video, and should lead to a...

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

Young scholars convert decimals and fractions to percents. In this introductory percents lesson, learners work with equivalent fractions and learn to draw ratios. They recognize how to change a fraction to a percent.

Second graders practice vocabulary related to measurement, mathematics, and dinosaurs. Using the engaging topic of dinosaurs, learners will calculate various information about dinosaurs and use measurement vocabulary. They will also...

Students examine problem solving techniques when working on spatial problems. They discover how models, sketches, and drawings can be used to understand on something works. They design a model of a bridge using given dimensions and...

Most adults remember learning about the Pythagorean theorem, but they don't all remember how to use it. The emphasis here is on developing an intuitive understanding of how and when to use the theorem. Young mathematicians explore...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

Feel like a rocket scientist for the day. Using only paper and tape, scholars create a framework for a spaceship to Mars. Each sheet of paper costs $10 million and each piece of tape costs $100,000. Make sure you stay within budget!
