Students practice locating points on a large wall grid and create and label a neighborhood map. In this geography lesson, students spell and discuss places as the teacher places them on the map. They discuss the concept of an...

Second graders receive a general overview about how maps are made and used, how specific information can be derived from them, and how a student can gain personal information about their surroundings from examining them.

Students are introduced to GIS and its uses. They make predictions before viewing the actual lead poisoning cases by location of Dade County. Pupils use actual Miami-Dade County spatial data to explore basic principals. Students

Middle schoolers in grade 7 and 8 work on outcomes related to spatial sense and geometric concepts, properties, and relationships. The lesson plan integrates technology and helps students be exposed to multimedia.

Learners use data on break and enter crime incidents to make a map that prompt discussion about the spatial location of crime in the city, why it would occur in those places, and how residents may reduce crime.

Students become aware of spatial awareness as they stand in the middle of a hula hoop and perform "The Chicken Dance" to music. During the chorus, they run, hop, gallop, skip into other vacant hoops. Students follow directions given by...

Young scholars analyze the concept of global commons dilemma.  In this investigative instructional activity students read an article on the Middle East Media Research Institute and answer questions accordingly. 

Young scholars analyze the concept of urbanization by planning the placement of some of the major urban/suburban features that make up most cities. They arrange the cultural features to benefit the people who live there, and maintain...

High schoolers explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals activity, students discuss Sierpinski's Triangle using an applet. High schoolers discuss the patterns involved with fractals. Students discuss the area of Sierpinski's...

Students use locomotor movements, spatial awareness, and letter recognition. They play "Queen Bee of the Garden." Students perform locomotor movements (walk, jump, etc.) called by the teacher as a way to get around the garden.

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Students place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

Twelfth graders examine different dimensions and units which go with a particular dimension. They explore the concept of linear measurement versus area. Students estimate area of 3-D objects. They practice converting from one unit of...

Seventh graders explore the concept of collecting data. In this data collection lesson, 7th graders survey others about their environmental habits. Students graph their data.

Students explore the concept of immigration. In this immigration lesson, students read literature, analyze photographs, and evaluate political cartoons that reflect feelings about immigration in America during Industrialization....

First graders examine pictures of forest wildlife and identify different animals that live in the forest. They discuss resources the forest provides for human use and explore the concept that the forest is used by many at the same time.

In this math activity, students fill in the missing boxes while investigating the concept of vectors. They determine if two vectors are orthogonal or parallel.

Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper.  Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. ...

Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using problem...

First graders review the placement of positional words and shapes. In groups, they travel between eight centers throughout the classroom in which they participate in various activities. They focus on concepts that are related to Geometry.

Student examine the need for and the problems of wilderness areas which are located close to urban centers. They discuss their concept of wilderness, write down their perceptions and report to the class.

Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of designing and building large scale buildings. They conduct research using the internet and other resources in order to apply mathematics and architectural design principals in...
