In this symmetrical shapes learning exercise, students recognize pieces of shapes.  Students are given two shapes where they have half of the shape. Students are to draw the remaining half of the shape.

Ninth graders investigate the concepts of ratio and proportion.They solve examples with the teacher for ratios and proportions. A basic fraction review is used for a warm up in this lesson. The primary focus of the lesson appears to be...

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.

Sixth graders explore probability. They analyze a class chart and list the letters of the alphabet according to frequency. Using the data collected, they complete probability problems.

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

Students will construct a golden section and a golden rectangle and study their characteristics and connections with the Fibonacci series. They import pictures from the internet and download them into the Sketchpad. Using their "golden"...

Geometry adventurers study circumference of a circle as they listen to Sir Circumference and the Dragon Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander. In groups, they use string to measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects and...

Young scholars participate in a lesson that covers the concept of finding the circumference of a circle. The teacher covers relevant vocabulary with the students. They work in groups to measure objects and calculate the formula to find...

Sixth graders practice the conversion of percents and fractions. They focus on the fact of both fractions and percents are part of a whole. In the independent practice the students also work with solving proportions.

Tenth graders investigate the Elimination Method in the solving of equations. They solve the equation using this method in examples with the teacher and then transfer the new knowledge to independent practice.

Students use critical thinking skills to solve word problems using ratios that allow them to compare humans to ocean animals.

Learners use a shortcut method to change one metric unit to another (Ex: kilometers to centimeters), by using a diagram which uses words students can relate and remember.

Sixth graders explore different geographic relationships in like drawing lines, rays, and parallelograms. This instructional activity could be used for review because it covers more than one concept. The students should have prior...

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that explores probability. They use candy and model cubes to experiment with different outcomes that can be charted if the students can proceed to the objective of the lesson. They discover how...

Sixth graders inspect prime and composite numbers. Using graph paper, they draw as many different shaped rectangles as possible. They use the dimensions of the rectangles to discuss prime and composite numbers. Students create a chart...

Ninth graders investigate the finding of the diameter of a circle in order to extend the practice towards finding the circumference. They differentiate between the distance measured across a circle from that of around the perimeter.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson that involves the concept of inequalities. They translate the words of problems and put them into a visual illustration. The illustration should include a number line for assessment.

In this calendar worksheet, learners learn to use a calendar to find the elapsed time using the dates in the word problems. Students solve six problems.

Students participate in a variety of activities in a unit about the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway System. They create a diorama, read related stories, and correspond with other classes located in other port cities along the St Lawrence...

Students focus on the shape of numbers.

Students measure the circumference of an object to the nearest millimeter. They also measure the diameter. The relationship of the two measurements is taught and how the value of pi came into existence.

Students solve word problems relating to economic choices. In this economic choices lesson, students discuss the importance of budgeting and how to save money. Students complete a economic choices worksheet.

Learners use a stamped shape image to create a piece of imaginative art. For this stamped art lesson, students use a stamped shape as a starting point to create their own imaginative piece of art that incorporates the stamped shape.

Students use their geometry and trigonometry skills to determine the distance between their school and another school.
