Sixth graders derive an original formula for calculating the area of an irregular figure.

Young scholars use non-standard measurement tools such as body parts, beans and counters to find the area of shapes drawn on the floor. They continue to determine the area of other objects in the classroom.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the frequency of pulling various parts of an ancient Greek sculpture out of a hat.

Students explore their environment. Given a question and a scenario, they conduct a field study of a designated area. In that area, they count and tally the number of insects that are present.

Your class will use a TI calculator to drag vertices of rectangles and triangles to observe what happens to ratios of pairs of sides within each figure. They will apply the definition of similarity to identify similar shapes. The...

In this Mars radiation worksheet, high schoolers use data from the Mars Radiation Environment Experiment to solve 4 problems. They determine the total radiation dosage during a specific period of time, they determine the dosage during...

In this algebra worksheet, students review the basic concepts of algebra and linear equations. They solve polygons and shapes for their area and perimeter. There are 27 questions.

In this math worksheet, students review concepts in algebra and geometry in preparation for the State Exam. They review slopes and functions, area and perimeter. There are 27 questions.

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a coordinate plane.

In this geometry problem solving activity, students answer 8 words problems based on their knowledge of circles, circumference, radius, diameter, and perimeters. They show their work on the sheet between problems.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Students add a new angle to block play with this spatial challenge. For this early childhood math lesson, students use creative-thinking, patterning, visual-spatial, and fine-motor skills to explore the different shapes that can be made...

Students become familiar with the story of Johnny Appleseed by reading, singing and creating a Johnny Appleseed hat. In this Johnny Appleseed lesson, students understand that Johnny Appleseed was a philanthropist and gave unselfishly of...

Learners factor trinomials and other quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve trinomials containing negative and positive coefficients. They factor quadratics of difference squares as well as regular polynomials.

Students experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems with quadrilaterals. They calculate the sum of the angles, find missing angles and identify properties of quadrilaterals. There are 16 questions with an answer key.

Students create cut slab boxes from clay using the slip and scoring technique. They impress a surface texture into the clay. Students decorate their box to represent themselves in some way.

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

High schoolers investigate quadrilateral construction in this geometry lesson. They use Cabri Jr. to construct the different quadrilaterals from the quadrilateral hierarchy given minimal definitions. The lesson reinforces the difference...

In this seventh grade mathematics learning exercise, 7th graders are provided with questions that are reflective of the grade level expectations for New York State.  The twenty page learning exercise contains thirty multiple choice...

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...
