Finding Latitudes and Longitudes
Middle schoolers analyze Columbus' rationale for sailing west, and find the latitude and longitude of modern and ancient place names.
Curated OER
African Ceremonial Masks
Fourth graders examine and discuss the purposes and traditions of African ceremonial masks. They design and create African ceremonial masks using various materials.
Curated OER
Getting Familiar with Fractals
Pupils use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.
Curated OER
Fold and Cut
Second graders explore line symmetry and the names and attributes of two-dimensional mathematical shapes. They study the context by folding and cutting out shapes to make a series of mathematical shapes.
Curated OER
Making Shapes
Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.
Curated OER
Exploring Arrangements of 2, 3, 4, and 5 Cubes
Students construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.
