Learners investigate how to read a topographical map and triangulate with just a map. They convert a compass measurement to a protractor measurement, reverse a bearing direction, and using a worksheet take a bearing of certain landmarks...

Learners demonstrate and understanding of the three types of angles using triangles and quadrilaterals. In this angles lesson plan, students learn about acute, obtuse and right angles. They use cut-outs to find the areas of triangles and...

Students view a PowerPoint for a warm-up lesson. They practice measuring around the classroom, measuring such things as the length and width of a desk, pencil, door, and book. Students use a website to practice measuring angles.

Students practice making and interpreting pie graphs so they are better able to decide if a pie chart is the appropriate form of display. Students examine included overheads of different pie charts, and directions on how to make pie...

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

Students explore the necessity for standards of measurement and measure length, volume, mass and angles. In this measurement lesson plan, students use their hand and foot to measure objects in the room. They compare their measurements to...

Fifth graders explore to find the central angle and percent. In this circle graph lesson, 5th graders use formulas to calculate the central angle and a protractor to create their graph. Students complete a graphing sheet for homework.

Students practice using the map and compass to find a location. In this geography lesson series, students identify basic requirements needed when traveling in the wilderness. They plan a healthy menu for a backpacking trip.

Students 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.

High schoolers explore the optimum angle for orienting a solar collector relative to the rays of incoming sunlight. They review equinoxes, solstices, and various locational ideas before students investigate using meters, light sources,...

Students measure and label specified angles. In this angles lesson, students use a protractor to find angles that are acute, obtuse, and reflexive. Students then label each angle and match the angles the correct definition. This lesson...

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...

Learners calculate volume using the correct formula and the correct unit. They explore different prisms, spheres, cubes, and cones as they calculate volume and relate it to depths in oceans.

High schoolers determine the surface area of the Luxor Hotel, using the square feet of the base, volume, and the volume formula. They create a scale model of the triangular/pyramid shaped hotel.

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...

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

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

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...

Students identify the six trigonometric ratios and properties. In this trig lesson, students define basic trig functions as it relates to solving right triangles. They identify the equation for sine as o/h and cosine as a/h and tangent...

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Students measure the angle and distance of an arc. In this projectile lesson, students observe arcs created by water guns, bow and arrows, and slingshots, then work in small groups and use protractors and strings to measure the angle and...

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...
