How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic organizers and conduct...

Students investigate properties of circles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Students explore geometry by drawing various shapes in class. In this triangle characteristics lesson, students identify the attributes that classify a shape as a triangle and practice using their bodies to create triangles in class....

Students sketch and create nets of different polygons.In this geometry lesson, students differentiate prisms from other three-dimensional shapes. They define the properties of prisms.

Students investigate two and three dimensional shapes. For this geometry lesson, students write equations of circles and graph them correctly. They create pictures using circles.

Students analyze visual arts by examining images on the Internet. In this figurine lesson, students research Keith Haring's artwork on the web and identify his body movement artistic style. Students utilize soft stones, carving...

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry activity, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Students investigate the habits of animals by studying their prints.  In this animal life lesson plan, students investigate the different types of tracks left from animals by researching the Internet.  Students utilize clay or...

Young scholars investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know and prove...

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson plan, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape...

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Students go to a traditional style desert home and then build their own model of a home to scale. In this desert home lesson plan, students conduct their research in New Mexico.

Fourth graders swap local soil samples with another school and examine the differences. They research soil properties, identify organisms that live in soil, create and maintain a biome of soil decomposition and design a poster to present...

Students visit different departments at a local hospital to see how machines help peoples such as the CAT scan machine. They build a model of such a machine that shows how patients are moved in and out of the machine.

Students explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement lesson, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body measurements.  Students cut squares...

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Second graders explore the features of triangles and quadrilaterals. In this lesson plan on triangles and quadrilaterals, 2nd graders rotate with their group to five different activities all exploring a different aspect of geometry.
