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 measure the angles of wings and tails of various aircraft using a protractor. They estimate and check their measurements. They investigate aircraft being developed and tested at NASA Dryden.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Geometers employ a straight edge and compass to duplicate and bisect segments and angles, construct perpendiculars, parallel lines, figures, and circles with points of concurrency. Ample practice with 65 questions across 8 worksheets. No...

Allow your pupils to become the mathematicians! Individuals explore the properties of a midsegment of a triangle through construction and measurement. Once they figure out the properties, learners use them to draw conclusions.

In this geometry worksheet, students create circle, line and bar graphs using different comparisons of events. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

Students examine the needs of their community for public space and determine the solutions to math problems related to planning landscape designs. They read and discuss an article from the New York Times, create their own designs for a...

Students find the factor of proportionality in similar polygons. In this similarity of polygons lesson plan, students measure the sides and angles of polygons and derive a factor of proportionality between corresponding pairs of sides...

In this assignment, math whizzes identify angles as either being obtuse, acute, right, or straight. Learners identify six angles. The publisher states that this is designed with CCSS.Math.Content.MD.6 in mind, but it really does not ask...

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...

The Green Education Foundation found that this lesson plan, written by the Texas State Energy Conservation Office, is right up their alley when it comes to teaching sustainability. It is ideal as a first lesson plan on photovoltaic...

What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

In this geometry instructional activity, students construct angles and identify medians and altitudes. They use a compass and protractor to perform heir construction. There are 28 questions.

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Students study the retreat of the Nez Perce Native Americans into Montana while tracing their journey on a map. They use the law of cosines to solve problems based on the navigational methods of the Nez Perce. They work with both the law...

Young scholars make jewelry using different shapes from magazines, tissue paper, cardboard, and other materials. In this making jewelry lesson plan, students complete this hands on activity to discuss how shapes are used.

In this congruence instructional activity, students trace figures, measure sides and angles, mark congruent sides and angles, then use a given diagram to answer questions and explain reasoning. Students also answer 2 test prep questions....

Young mathematicians order numbers from least to greatest. Number types include whole numbers, decimals, and negative numbers.

Students participate in a role-play activity to determine how to replace heat shields on the space shuttle using polar coordinates.

Seventh graders build their own Clinometer and using the tangent of angles, estimate the height of trees. Then these students develop and lesson plan to show whole class and determine the tallest tree on school property.

Use the given tasks and detailed teacher's commentary to introduce your 8th graders to the Pythagorean theorem and its converse. Embedded links to information about Egyptian geometry make your presentation interesting. Consider...

Make enlargements with and without centers. Pupils work through seven problems dealing with dilations or enlargements. The first couple items are strict enlargements without centers, while the others have centers. Class members also...

Eleven problems provide pupils the opportunity to find the lines of symmetry or identify rotational symmetry. Scholars alter designs to make them symmetrical, learn to recognize signs that are symmetrical, and identify the type of...
