Curated OER
Number Prefixes
Students recognize the number prefixes used throughout the English language. They identify the shapes and the prefixes that are associated with them.
Curated OER
Angle Exploration and Classification
Students compare and contrast angles and identify them as acute, obtuse, right, or straight angles. They create rays and angles using uncooked spaghetti, read and discuss key vocabulary terms, and complete a variety of geometry worksheets.
Curated OER
Frequency Tables and Stem-and-Leaf Plots
Students are introduced to the function of frequency tables and stem and leaf plots. In groups, they determine the frequency of their teacher coughing, ringing a bell or raising their hand. To end the lesson plan, they determine...
Curated OER
History and the Approximations of pi
Middle schoolers investigate Pi. For this mathematics lesson, learners discuss the history of Pi and determine how the approximation of Pi was discovered.
Curated OER
Tessellation Lesson Plan
Students produce original tessellations, using equilateral triangles where three unique symmetrical faces rotate, use shape, pattern/repetition, and color to create a striking composition, and create "beasties" inspired by bestiaries of...
Curated OER
Around We Go!
Students make accurate measurements and calculations of measuring the area an perimeter of a section of the floor accordingly. They use appropriate measurement and calculation strategies to write a complete a clear explanation for how...
Curated OER
Geometry and Tony Smith Sculpture
Young scholars respond to Tony Smith's sculpture as art and brainstorm about math concepts inherent in his work. They create a sculpture with polyhedra nets, calculate the cost of covering sculpture in gold, and write an exhibit label...
Curated OER
A World of Symmetry
Middle schoolers identify lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry. They answer questions about lines of symmetry. Middle schoolers cut shapes out of cookie dough and...
