Is your class in a quandary over quantum numbers? Change things up by adding games to the mix! Science scholars discover the shape, number of electrons, and number of orbitals in the s, p, and d sub-shells using an interactive.

Fifth graders explore angles by using protractors. They recognize, describe and determine the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. Students recognize the right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle and vertex. They identify...

Students analyze changing and competing interpretations of issues, events, and developments throughout world history. They brainstorm ideas about what they think about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Animism, Judaism, or...

Sixth graders build figures out of tangrams. In this symmetry lesson, 6th graders view tangrams and identify the polygons included in them. Students divide into groups, identify their tangram pieces, define the lines of symmetry, and use...

Pupils explore the relationship between area and perimeter of polygons.They measure the area and perimeter of regular polygons inscribed in a circle. Learners then discuss how as the number of sides of a regular polygon increase, the...

Students are able to answer basic questions about the region and the use of natural resources, sketch a mental map of the story's setting, and find their way through the thematic maze/map.

Students analyze relationship between the increase in polygons sides and a circle. In this geometry lesson, students relate the size of the central angle of a polygon, to a circle. They compare the formula for the area of a polygon and a...

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...

Learners calculate the perimeter and area of given figures and lengths.

Eighth graders use geo-boards to create similar and congruent figures and find their corresponding sides. Using the geo-board paper, they draw the shapes they create on the geo-boards. With partners,students create similar and congruent...

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.

Second graders write "how to" sequences for tasks so that another person can follow the sequence to perform the action. They write a "show and teach" once a month for evaluation.

In this differentiated lesson, students incorporate different subjects using the Ghandi and Montessori methods instead of the traditional method used in regular schools. In math they investigate shapes, colors and sizes. In writing they...

Students identify and create simple geometric shapes and describe simple spatial relationships. Through discussion, hands-on activities and show and tell, they identify geometric solids in real life and create graphs of commonly found...

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders find the pairs of polygons that are congruent on the sheet. Then they color them the same color and use their ruler to check their selections.

Teach your class about symmetry lines with this resource. This worksheet defines symmetry and explains lines of symmetry and how they work. Learners examine a variety of examples before drawing lines of symmetry in 5 figures. The...

Students explore the information depicted on topographic maps. They construct a 3-D topographic map of a local area. They go on a field trip to the depicted area and compare the 'real world' with their models.

Three lessons and five assessments are contained in this material. Various paper shapes are sorted as a simulation of biological classification. Learners gather a list of living things that they are familiar with and design a...

Students discover historical value and use of different African masks through research and literature. Students also relate different customs and traditions of ethnic groups to the masks.

Students review plane figures by playing a game that resembles "Twister." They listen to directions to locate a large example of the figure which is placed on the floor.
