You know you have stumbled on something interesting when you launch this app. You are suddenly taken into a world of mystery and intrigue, and of course, math-skills practice.

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

Students explore symmetry.  For this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using a...

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Students work in groups to research clocks and practice telling time. In this telling time lesson, students use the computer program ProQuest to study circles, including radius and diameter, and practice drawing circles using a compass....

Explore the Human brain. Students become familiar with the left and right hemispheres of the human brain and engage in activities that activate powers that are dominant in each hemisphere.
