Make a game of angle classification. Using the direction of the pool ball, scholars determine the measure of the created angles. They work to create and classify different types of angles throughout an engaging interactive.

There's more to a quilt than just a pretty pattern—there's geometry! Explore angle classification using an artistic approach to show your class that quilt designs are really just intricate geometric patterns. Here, scholars create a...

Students study binomial nomenclature and museum-based research. They create a curiosity box, label the objects in their curiosity box , develop a classification scheme for the objects, and create a database of all objects collected by...

Through the examination of the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangles students will learn the classification of triangles (acute, right, or obtuse).

Students explore classification. In this science lesson plan, students observe various apples, contrasting them, and classifying the apples based on structure and color.

Acute or obtuse? Seems right to me! As scholars explore the simulation, they investigate angle measures. Questions ask them to classify the angles using correct naming conventions.

A lesson on classification and sorting is here for you. Elementary schoolers participate in an interactive computer game in which they sort books by theme. They take a trip to the library to observe and discuss how books are sorted, and...

What can symmetry tell us about triangles? After looking at four examples, learners will come to realize that lines of symmetry are different for equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. Use this guided practice activity as an...

Excellent lesson! Anne Linehane's geometry story, The Greedy Triangle, offers an opportunity to practice forming various types of polygons with your learners. Using elastic bands (or Chinese jump ropes),...

Students draw a chart (included in the lesson) to use with their investigation. They review terminology of triangles and receive toothpicks to use in the lesson. Beginning with three toothpicks, students form a triangle. They complete...

All shapes have certain defining attributes that set them apart from others. In order to understand this, young mathematicians look at examples and non-examples of triangles, rectangles, and squares, working as a whole class to create...

Students classify, weight and organize items during this lesson. This lesson works great as or with an introduction of the Periodic Table of Elements.

Students classify and compare plants using specific information, observations, and numbers. In this mathematical inquiry lesson, students use plant characteristics to describe, compare, and classify them. They attempt to develop a system...

Students explore the sense of touch. They investigate unknown solids using the sense of touch. Pupils use their senses of touch to match feely gloves. Students explore body parts, by tracing their hands and feet on paper. They create a...

This six-week unit encompasses all subjects with a focus study on world history and the development of ancient civilizations. As gifted and talented students dive into the interesting yet challenging topic of Egypt, they...

Looking for a fun and interactive way to explore bovine biology? Learners read a brief informational text (included for printing) before participating in several cross-curricular activities. First, grab their attention with a hilarious...

Is that a right triangle or a wrong triangle? Young mathematicians look at eleven different shapes and use a measuring tool of their choice to determine which triangles have right angles. Consider cutting out sets of the shapes to...

Students sort objects by shape, size and color. In this math and literacy sorting lesson plan, students listen to the book Freddy the Fish and the Squash that Goes Squish by Duke Christoffersen. Students work in small groups to sort...

Students describe Frieze designs using the work of indigenous people.  In this math lesson, students create 7 frieze designs using different patterns.  They create one row of repeated art and repeat this 7 times over...

Students classify different types of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify and use properties of triangles. They differentiate between isosceles and equilateral triangles.

Students explore diagrammatic and taxonomic keys and their application in the marine sciences. They sort and classify objects and organisms based on visual attributes.

Students work together to identify groups of endangered animals. Using a pamphlet, they group the pictures according to specific criteria and cut the pictures out and color them. They place the animals in the correct habitat and share...

Students listen to a story involving Tangram pieces. Students use Tangram pieces to complete shapes using an outline of a design.

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...
