Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

In this angles of polygons learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different problems that include determining various interior and exterior angles. First, they determine the measure of various angles described in the first...

Students explore their new classroom with this hunting and matching game. In this early childhood problem solving lesson, students use observation and matching skills as they hunt for pre-cut shapes around the classroom.

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

This may be a lot to ask of a high schooler, but then again, who knows? Pupils work in groups to explore, write, and then perform an original opera. They view versions of The Magic Flute and La Traviata, then compose a plot, characters,...

Students practice using visuals to solve math problems. In this math manipulative lesson, students utilize pattern blocks to participate in a class game in which geometric shapes touch other player's pieces. Students gain points based on...

Practice makes perfect! Learners estimate the least squares fit line for a set of data. They understand error involved in least squares fit lines, and solve application problems using least square fit lines.

In this number puzzles worksheet, 3rd graders fill in and solve 3 shaped puzzles by following the directions on each one precisely. Students deal with numbers from 1 to 13.

Students explore geometry by completing a color puzzle. In this shape identification activity, students utilize deductive reasoning to complete a Google SketchUp puzzle with trapezoid, triangles and rectangular shapes. Students...

Fourth graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this pattern lesson, 4th graders analyze two separate pattern block shapes and discuss which one is bigger and smaller. Students collaborate in small groups to create...

Students estimate the least squares fit line for a set of data. They understand error involved in least square fit lines. They solve application problems using least square fit lines.

Students piece together a quilt from leftover blocks. They problem-solve ways to incorporate random block designs into a visually pleasing quilt design. They used sashed sets, coping stripes and triangles to work out the design.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concepts of architectural rigidity. They analyze a variety of polygons, and explain why some shapes add more strength to structures than others. The PBS video, "Building Big," is utilized in this plan.

Have your class participate in a variety of sports and craft activities using this resource. With sports as the theme, learners work on art projects. Students create soccer ball prints, a three dimensional football, and a sports collage.

In this math instructional activity, students investigate simple geometric shapes in the world around them. Students examine 3 detailed pictures which contain many shapes, then answer 7 questions about the picture. Then students complete...

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...

Students take part in group entertainment activities. In this circus lesson, students discuss their own memories of a circus and conduct several activities such as juggling scarves and creating balloon animals. Students discuss why...

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

Learners identify various patterns. In this patterns lesson, students assemble paper flowers by using patterns. Learners discuss how they constructed their flower.

Seventh graders organize a 20 x 17 room with a given set of furniture pieces. Arrangement is to be based on maximum comfort and practicality. This lesson is a good way to teach and reinforce the mathematical concept of area.
