Curated OER
Space Geometry
Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson, 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.
Curated OER
Probability and Geometry
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...
Curated OER
Volume Of Tetrahedron With Congruent Faces
Ninth graders investigate the concept of a tetrahedron and how it is formed with its congruent faces. They practice making the shape by practicing the folding paper to create the shape. Students continue the lesson plan with the...
Curated OER
Sports Bag
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...
Curated OER
A Package of Pringle
Here is a problem-solving lesson that has learners take the role of a packaging expert to design an inexpensive means of packaging a potato chip. It could benefit from having more specific detail about the lesson itself, but it does make...
Curated OER
Bubbles Everywhere!
Eighth graders use concrete and graphic models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, area, surface area, circumference, and volume of two- and three-dimensional shapes. This lesson is a fun way to practice measurement and circle and...
Curated OER
More Prisms/Nets
Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Spatial Relations - Week 9
In this spatial relations worksheet, students solve three-dimensional problems. They find the total number of triangles in a given figure, the number of line segments that endpoints and use integer points to solve two problems. This...
Curated OER
Spatial Relations - Week 9
In this spatial relations worksheet, young scholars identify the number of triangles in a given figure, identify the number of cubes that a plane intersects, and determine the number of line segments in a given cube. This three-page...
Curated OER
Measure-mania
Students research the history of measurement in this lesson. They compare todays units of measurement to historical units of measurement. For example, they weigh themselves on a bathroom scale and figure out how many of them it would...
Curated OER
Geometry and Shapes
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.
Curated OER
Getting Familiar with Fractals
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.
Curated OER
Geometry and Measurement
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...
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' - Day 2, Lesson 6: Rhyme and Reason
Young scholars listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading...
Curated OER
Connecting Measurement
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...
Curated OER
Copy Cat
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.
Curated OER
Function Tables
Learners 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.
Curated OER
Relationships and Functions
Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' - Day 2, Lesson 5: Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo
Students, in groups, use song lyrics and math to descrie two and three dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' - Day 3, Lesson 9: Attribute Attitude
Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.
