Using geoboards, computer programs, and hands-on manipulative materials, elementary schoolers engage in a study of two and three-dimensional geometric shapes. This lesson is chock full of good teaching ideas on the subject, and the...

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 explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find the...

Young scholars investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. In this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable...

Students study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Students also visit a lower grade and teach...

Young scholars explore lines of symmetry in geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct angles using mirrors and rubberbands, then predict the number of images that will appear in the reflection. Young scholars...

Students are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...

Fifth graders explore geometry by exploring Pi. In this circle measurement lesson plan, 5th graders identify the relationship between the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle and how Pi is the key to unlocking any circular...

Young scholars explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. In this perimeter lesson, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Young scholars utilize...

Students investigate geometric shapes through volume and dimensions. In this geometry lesson plan, students measure, weigh, and calculate sizes and volume based on estimation and calculation. They review important vocabulary related to...

Students create a car using physics. In this forces and motion lesson, students create a car and test which changes in design change the performance of the car. Students complete a graphic organizer with the different changes...

Fifth graders observe real bones and models to learn about the structure and function of the skeletal system. In this skeletal system lesson, 5th graders manipulate objects and models of bones. They handle real bones and determine the...

Middle schoolers explore angle measure as they estimate angle measure and measure and draw angles of less than 360 degrees. The instructional activity emphasizes the use of estimation when measuring angles.

Fourth graders use tangram sets to investigate the congruence of shapes. They use congruent shapes to demonstrate the properties of slides, flips, and turns. They complete a math journal entry that describes and illustrates each concept.

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...
