Plane Shapes and Solid Figures
In this math worksheet, students study the properties of plane shapes and solid figures. Students fill out a chart after they have calculated the number of flat surfaces, edges and vertices.
Curated OER
Water Cycle
Young scientists explore Earth elements by conducting an experiment. They define water vocabulary terms such as condensation and precipitation. In addition, they conduct a water experiment in which they build a terrarium, so they can...

Addendum to the Written Curriculum: Measuring Solids
Students use standard rulers to measure the length of common classroom items - such as pencils, books, desk tops - in inches and centimeters, and measure weight in pounds. They also answer math questions, such as "How long is the front...
Curated OER
Living in a Geometrical World
Learners participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.
Curated OER
Supplementary, Complementary, and Vertical Angles
By using circles that they cut out and label themselves, learners literally "get a grip" on the angles they identify: supplementary, complementary, and vertical. They solve missing measurements based on properties of supplementary,...
Curated OER
Separating Soup Mix
Students use screens of three sizes to separate a mixture of five solid materials. They plan and conduct simple investigations using appropriate tools, measures, and safety rules and record and report observations, explanations, and...
Curated OER
Investigation-On the Surface
Learners compute the surface area of 3 geometric solids to determine the shape of package that would require the least amount of paper to wrap. In this geometry lesson, students work on a two-question assessment embedded in the plan. The...
Curated OER
Make-and-Take: Staff Development
Students complete activities to learn a phenomenological approach to polygons. In this polygons lesson, students use the materials in the directions to make demonstration models. Students use a wooden wagon model and liquid to learn...
Curated OER
Aqua-Thrusters!
Students construct their own rocket-powered boat called an "aqua-thruster." These aqua-thrusters will be made from a film canister and will use carbon dioxide gas - produced from a chemical reaction between an antacid tablet and water -...
Curated OER
Introducing Powers and Models
Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. For this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between various...
Curated OER
Building a Box
Students create different two dimensional nets that can be folded to create a cube. In this visual spacial awareness lesson plan, students explore different ways that two-dimensional objects can be laid out to create a three dimensional...
Curated OER
Space Tiling with Captain Planet
Fifth graders Apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons, using symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems. They study tessellates and explain why a shape tessellates.
Curated OER
Liquid Level
Students observe liquids in different containers and then explore the concept that liquids have level surfaces. They identify those who are not at the center to reinforce the concept of liquid levels with a representational puzzle and...
Curated OER
Traveling Sound
Students explore how sound waves move through liquids, solids and gases in a series of simple sound energy experiments. They describe how sound needs molecules to move and that changing the medium that it travels through changes the...
Curated OER
"Heat Transfer and Ice Cream!"
Students analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer lesson, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Students...
Curated OER
The X-33 and the X-38
Learners explore the relationships among the lengths, areas, and volumes of similar solids. They also discover what effect doubling the dimensions of a figure has on the resulting area.
Curated OER
Trash Count
Students identify pollution around their local community. They discuss the sources of polution and categorize objects based on their properties. They discover ways to make changes to the environment and how to inform the public.
Curated OER
Manipulatives Make Abstract Math Concepts Concrete
Using math lessons that include manipulatives can help cement learning.
Shodor Education Foundation
Sets and the Venn Diagram (Beginner)
Venn diagrams are helpful in understanding the idea of a set and using attributes to sort items. This basic plan is an introduction with an added bonus of an applet that can be used to demonstrate the activity. If a classroom of...
