There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Are you looking for a comprehensive review that addresses the Common Core standards for geometry? This is it! Instruction and practice problems built specifically for standards are included. The material includes geometry topics from...

Students 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 to...

Scholars determine distances on the coordinate plane to find areas. The instructional activity begins with a proof of the formula for the area of a parallelogram using the coordinate plane. Pupils use the coordinate plane to determine...

Students construct tangent lines. In this geometry lesson, students identify the point of tangency, secant and tangent lines. They graph the lines on the Ti and make observations.

Students explore animal characteristics by creating illustrations. For this animal identification lesson, students read a list of animal descriptions which they draw using crayons or colored pencils. Students view their drawings and...

Need worksheets that challenge your middle schoolers to apply their understanding of math? Problem solved! From integers, fractions, and percents, to algebra, geometry, and probability, over 100 pages of word problem worksheets...

Students analyze a drawing of a regular octagon inscribed in a circle to determine angle measures, using knowledge of properties of regular polygons and the sums of angles in various polygons to help solve the problem. They use...

Sixth graders practice using logic and scientific proof while examining animal tracks.  In this scientific method lesson, 6th graders identify different animals and the type of tracks they leave behind by observing...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Students investigate the theorems of ASA, AAS, AAA and ASA. In this geometry lesson, students discuss the theorems of triangles and how it is used to solve for missing sides or angles. They review how two angles are formed by two rays...

Students investigate the relationship between angles and their sides. In this geometry lesson, students prove why SSA does not work as a true angle side relationship theorem.

Third graders relate the process of division to subtracting equal groups. Through guided practice and teacher demonstration, they complete division problems using a subtraction method. Students complete problems independently for...

Students identify shapes, create shapes, and make a pyramid, a drum, and a sail using their shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students also identify plane and space shapes.

Pupils examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students explain...

Fourth graders complete a spelling activity that also improves their proofreading skills. In this spelling lesson, 4th graders read a list of words and proofread to find the word spelled correctly in each row.
