Conduct research on the Internet about labyrinths and mazes to learn about proportions and ratios. Inquisitive minds design their own maze, one maze is chosen and proportionately enlarged to 20 feet by 30 feet. This is a fun challenge...

This quick lesson outline is fun and useful in developing drawing skills. Learners complete figure studies of each other. A "runway" is set up at the back of the room, and peers take turns 'striking a pose' as they are considered as...

Students practice their drawing skills. In this drawing skills lesson, students complete a self-observation drawing activity and then 3 methods of figure drawing.

Students use ratio and proportions to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students apply ratio and proportions to real life scenarios.

Students examine proportionality in Wind in the Willows by comparing Mr. Toad, objects proportional to him and objects proportional to humans. They then measure a stuffed Mr. Toad and make common objects proportional to Mr. Toad???s...

Learners are introduced to the topic of congruence and proportions in Geometry. Using technology, they construct and validate the properties of various geometric figures and identify whether it is congruent or proportion to the objects...

Eighth graders solve problems using proportions with scaled drawings. They work with maps and blue-prints discussing scales and plans and examine different polygons and figure out the scale factors or proportions they have been changed by.

Young scholars model the geometric relationship with graphing. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel, perpendicular, similar and congruent shapes. They use properties of polygons to differentiate their...

Build an interest and appreciation for architecture in your young learners with this fun 10-lesson art unit. Engaging children in using their five senses, the class first observes the environment around them, paying...

Eighth graders understand that proportional enlargement of shapes doesn't change the angles of those shapes. In this similarity lesson, 8th graders complete exercises to create enlargements of shapes and understand similar shapes.

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Third graders investigate ratios and rates.  In this third grade mathematics lesson, 3rd graders identify equal ratios and rate and test for proportionality.  This lesson is created to be use in conjunctions with a particular...

Students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing side and angle of a triangle. They identify the different ratio and proportion of the sides of a triangle.

There are many ways to correlate coffee to life, but in this case a worksheet looks at the price of two different sizes of coffee. It requires interpreting a graph with two unknown variables, in this case the price, and solving for...

Young scholars apply concepts of scales to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students solve real world problems using scales, proportions and ratios. They predict the actual size of a model given the scale drawings.

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Students solve triangles using the properties if congruency. In this geometry lesson, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry instructional activity, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. For this geometry lesson, students identify the angles of triangles using the similarity theorem. They apply concepts of triangles to the real world.

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry activity, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Learners build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial...
