Learners build confidence working with geometric tools and develop their construction techniques in the sixth lesson plan of the 29-part series. Given a geometric description, they use a compass, protractor, or ruler to create it....

Construct your young mathematicians' understanding by exploring the properties and dimensions of a parallelogram through constructions. The seventh instructional activity in this 29-part series begins with individuals creating...

Building on the previous instructional activity in the 29-part series, the ninth instructional activity asks individuals to construct a triangle given specific criteria. First, they are given three specific side lengths, followed by two...

Create concrete examples of triangle congruence for your classes. The eighth installment of the 29-part module sets the stage for studying triangle congruence. Given a set of criteria, math scholars use constructions to build a specific...

Using patty paper, classes determine that only one triangle is possible when given two specific angle measures and a side length. As the 10th instructional activity in the series of 29, young math scholars add these criteria to those...

Can any three side lengths create a triangle? Your classes tackle this question and more in the 11th lesson of the 29-part module. Through modeling with patty paper, individuals discover the relationship between the lengths of the sides...

Construct an understanding of triangle congruence through a visual analysis. Young scholars find that given two sides and a non-included angle, sometimes two possible triangles are produced. Their analysis shows that if the non-included...

Examine an assortment of triangle congruence criteria in a single lesson. Building on the four previous lessons of the series, the 13th installment provides a mixture of the different triangle congruence criteria for pupils to identify....

Given a diagram of connected or overlapping triangles, individuals must find congruent parts using various properties. Pictures include reflexive sides and vertical angles amongst the marked congruent parts.

What do you get when you slice a prism? Pupils discover that the answer depends on how the prism is sliced. The second half of the 29-part module focuses on three-dimensional objects. Learners use their two-dimensional vocabulary and...

How many ways can you slice a pyramid? The 18th lesson of the 29-part series examines the multiple planes of a rectangular pyramid. Pupils study each slice to determine its shape and relation to the different faces.

No matter how you slice it, it's still a polygon! An engaging lesson examines the different ways you can slice a prism. The lesson begins with simple parallel and perpendicular slices. It then challenges scholars to slice the prism to...

You can't judge a book by its cover ... or a cube structure by just one face. A creative lesson looks at the shape of several cube structures described by level slices. The 20th lesson of the 29-part series expects young mathematicians...

Uncover strategies for finding areas of composite figures. The 23rd lesson in a 29-part module has young mathematicians decompose figures to find total area. Figures decompose to rectangles and circular regions.

Explore finding the surface area of composite figures. Building on the previous lessons in the 29-part series, the 24th installment examines the surface area of three-dimensional solids. The focus is on decomposing composite figures and...

Examine the surface area of composite figures using an exploratory approach. As a continuation of the previous lesson plan of the 29-part series, young scholars develop plans for finding the surface area of composite figures. Examples...

Young scholars explore the concepts of mean, median, mode, and range as they elicit data about people's favorite flavor of ice cream. A practical application of the data obtained offers an extension to the lesson plan.

Students examine several examples of budgets to develop a facility with the components of its formation. Income, expenses, and expenditures are considered and itemized for this lesson.

Students use paper cups and colored chips to observe properties of operations with real numbers. As a class, students brainstorm and use manipulatives to demonstrate associative, commutative, distributive identity and inverse properties....

Don't be obtuse, this geometry unit is the just the right resource for educating the acute young minds in your class. From classifying and measuring angles, to determining the congruence of shapes, this...

Students examine patterns of volcanic distribution worldwide, use tables to plot and label location of each volcano on map, lightly shade areas where volcanoes are found, and complete open-ended worksheet based on their findings.

Students participate in a unit that introduces them to solving problems that is introductory to algebra. They look at positive and negative numbers on the number line and practice solving problems using the distributive property.

Learners practice theories dealing with equals sign used as a balance, inequality symbols and practice utilizing a box or some other geometric shape to represent an unknown number. They assess numeracy problems embedded in language-rick...

In this binary operations worksheet, 7th graders solve and complete 12 different problems that include various types of binary operations. First, they determine if the operation used is commutative. Then, students name the identity...
