Fifth graders use formulas for calculating areas of squares and rectangles to find area of complex figure, compare their own ideas with their classmates' ideas, and recognize that there are multiple methods for finding area of complex...

Twelfth graders build a model of the following figures with the base from column I and the cross-section from column II. Draw the base with labeled axes on the graph paper and construct the figure on top of the base with the play dough...

How did the earth become the mass that it is now? Your young scientists explore this question through the concept of density. Their inquiries consider the impact of gravity on the formation of planets. The culminating activity of the...

Students determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available and...

Students model three-dimensional objects using cubes. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and derived the amount mathematically. They use different objects to create two and three-dimensional objects.

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Students prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English...

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  In this pennies lesson plan, students work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of a pin...

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

Students complete a unit of activities to learn about states of matter and how to measure matter. In this matter lesson, students complete 8 lessons to learn about matter, its states, and how to measure matter.

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes instructional activity, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces...

Students investigate geometric shapes through volume and dimensions. For this geometry lesson, students measure, weigh, and calculate sizes and volume based on estimation and calculation. They review important vocabulary related to...

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students examine a Webmath page, and demonstrate how to copy and paste. They create a computer-generated template page presenting the attributes of two- and three- dimensional shapes.

Students explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

Students 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.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson plan, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Students practice representing problems found in the real world in terms that can be translated into mathematical expressions. The situations are represented in tables and graphs by students.

Pupils, in groups, use song lyrics and math to descrie two and three dimensional shapes.
