What makes particles attract? Here, learners engage in multiple activities that fully describe colligative properties and allow the ability to critically assess the importance of these properties in daily life. Young chemists...

First graders examine and discuss a bronze statue by Degas, and identify the differences between painting and sculpture. They create three-dimensional figures using a variety of textures.

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...

Students explore the concept of similarity and congruence. For this similarity and congruence lesson, students identify and verify whether or not two figures are similar, congruent, or neither. Students use postulates and theorems such...

In this calculations activity, students express numbers in scientific notation and determine the number of significant figures. Students find conversion factors to change units. This activity has 8 word problems.

In this math worksheet, students match the drawings that are in pieces in order to create three dimensional geometric figures. They match the nets with the shapes.

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 read "Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes" by Stuart Murphy and view a PowerPoint presentation on shapes. They identify shapes presented in the book and then identify shapes found in their classroom.

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

Learners solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. For this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is...

First graders explore two-dimensional shapes. Individually, children follow directions to draw shapes. Learners use shaving cream, geoboards, yarn, marshmallows, and toothpicks to create shapes. As a class, 1st graders brainstorm...

Students relate Pi to a circle. In this circles lesson, students identify the different properties of two dimensional objects. They relate Pi to the circumference, diameter and area of a circle .

Students create three-dimension models demonstrating exponents, multiplying and dividing of fractions, and the use of repeating patterns in tessellations, mirror images, and tiling.

Here is a challenging and thought-provoking math learning exercise. In it, learners work together to construct a variety of boxes of different sizes to see if doubling the size of a box really means it can hold twice as much stuff as the...

Fifth and sixth graders work alone or in pairs to determine the volume of paper boxes of various dimensions. Pupils write ratios of dimensions and volumes.
