Seventh graders complete activities to further their understanding of area formulas. In this area lesson, 7th graders watch as the teacher uses Polystrips to model parallelograms. Students find the area of a rectangle and answer...

Fifth graders participate in a review game of geometry topics. In this geometry lesson plan, 5th graders use the "Eggspert" interactive classroom game system to review the geometry skills taught that week. Students work in teams to...

Students identify missing sides and angles. In this geometry instructional activity, students use triangular theorems to identify the missing sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the different ratios of each side.

Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry activity, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Learners build a Lego design and then work with a partner to reproduce that design. They guide the building of the reproduction by description only and then check their work.

Students use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Students calculate the measurement of a central angle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of circles. They use Cabri software to create and analyze graphs.

Learners define keywords that are important to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students find the arc length and angle of a circle. They convert between radians and degrees.

Young scholars discuss how artists communicate visually in their work using the elements of design. The elements of design should be used as the building blocks of the structure you are trying to create. The elements of design are form,...

Learners explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  For this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

Learners chart temperatures in Egypt on spreadsheet to determine how weather conditions affect lifestyles.

Students create a miniature Japanese garden that incorporates the elements of traditional Japanese aesthetics. They study the simplicity, asymmetrical design and incorporate traditional structures.

Students access the Internet to find information on current hurricanes. They get locations, speeds, and air pressures and then plot the location of the hurricane on a hurricane-tracking map. They also access the FEMA website to solve...

Students in a teacher education program enhance their awareness of patterns. They discover how to support their students in developing this skill in mathematical terms. They role play the role of a K-2 student and collect images from...

Students demonstrate the elements of design by creating a digital photography portfolio of photos taken in and arond the scool. The edit photos using Photoshope to emphasize the element of desing in each phot.

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

Young scholars investigate the properties of circles. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle. They identify the perimeter and radius length of a circle.

Students calculate the measurements of the inscribed angles of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students relate the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the diameter of a circle to each other. They calculate the diameter of a circle as...

Fifth graders study English reading and writing skills as they participate in exciting interdisciplinary hands-on activities using a basal reading series.

Students establish a grid system over an archaelogical site. They label each grid unit. They determine the location of artifacts within each grid unit. They construct a scientific inquiry concerning the location of artifacts on the site.

Students work together to build tetrahedral kites. They must follow directions and the provided materials. They discover the engineering concepts needed to make the kite.
