Geometers find the perimeter and area of rectangles. They discuss the definitions and characteristics of rectangles and squares. In groups, they use yarn to discover the perimeter of squares and rectangles. They count cubes to explore...

Who can get to 100 first?! It may be in the hands of chance, but either way kids will have to practice counting and adding along the way. Partners take turns rolling two dice and moving their game pieces that many spaces until one pupils...

Upper graders define perimeter and area of a rectangle, estimate numbers of cubes and determine the maximum amount that will fit in a given space. In this math lesson, pupils complete related worksheet, build prisms and find volume and...

Learners measure the area using feet and yard. In this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

Students practice counting and comparing objects.  In this math lesson, students view a Count on It! episode. Students examine the value of what they are counting.  Students estimate number in groups of items.  Students...

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations instructional activity, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with...

Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of area and volume. In groups, they work together to build models of square centimeters in which they are given no instructions. To end the activity, they record the dimensions of each model...

Students practice their area and perimeter measurement. In this measurement lesson, students watch a video about perimeter and area. Students measure a gym for perimeter and area. Students write number sentences for the area and...

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of...

Engage young biologists in exploring the mysteries of life with this collection of hands-on activities. Enlisting the help of numerous digital resources, students get an up-close look at the structure of plant and animal...

Young scholars explore time by comparing the duration of an egg timer with how many pegs they can put in a pegboard. They experience one on one correspondence, as they place a peg in the whole. Students discover estimation of time and...

Fourth graders use manipulatives to practice math patterns.

Learners investigate polygons and their lattice. In this calculus instructional activity, students record data using different methods. They analyze their data and draw conclusions based on the relationship between the area and the...

Students explore competition by participating in a peg race. In this pattern creation lesson, students utilize an egg timer and pegs or colored cubes to create patterns quickly while competing with fellow classmates to finish first....

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Sixth graders use number cubes to explore volume of two-dimensional shapes. They roll a die and construct a shape using the numbers rolled as measurements of the sides. They estimate the volume of a given object, and then use the...

Students investigate non-standard linear measurement.  For this cross curriculum measurement lesson, students listen to the book Measuring Penny by Loreen Leedy, and identify pages in which non-standard measurement is used. ...

Students solve problems dealing with points, lines and planes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel lines and planes. They find the intersection of lines and planes.

Second graders identify fractions as part of a set. They explain concrete and symbolic representations of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents in real-world situations. They complete a web-based cookie baking lesson plan.

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes instructional activity, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces...
