From Shore to Sea: To survive in cold ocean environments an organism's body must be adapted to life under water. A body will cool very quickly when in contact with water. The body shape of an organism is one adaptation that helps to...

Students will use their knowledge of plane figure attributes to create and view shapes by cutting and rotating shapes to stimulate discussions on names and attributes of various shapes they do not regularly encounter.

In this activity, students will identify shapes that architects use to build houses. Students will then explore these shapes by building a model "dream" home.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and...

With this lesson, students will recognize and use the 4 basic shapes to create objects that they find in their environment. The students will then use their "shape creation" and recreate it on the computer.This lesson plan was created as...

This lesson could be used as an introductory lesson to introduce group comparisons. Being able to use data to compare two groups is an important skill. Students will sketch box plots using the data given about the cost of haircuts for...

The Chinese character mark formerly known as "Tan" is the first of two lessons to introduce first grade young scholars to geometry using tangrams. This lesson incorporates history, math, and language arts. In this lesson students will be...

Origami (ori-folding, kami-paper) is the traditional Japanese art of folding paper. Students will discover relationships between shapes as they are actively engaged in this hands on geometry lesson to learn basic geometric shapes, their...

In this lesson the children will demonstrate parts of a whole using a candy bar (or fruit), and piece of paper. The activities are used as instructional plans to help students better understand shapes and parts of a shape up to a whole....

Exploring Three Dimensional Cubes This App contains two familiar tools, Logo Light and Isometric Dots. Draw two-dimensional shapes using the programming commands in Logo Light. Draw representations of three-dimensional cubes using...

The instructional tool explores various geometric solids and their properties. Student can manipulate and color the different shapes. Learners examine the edges, faces, and vertices of the different solid figures.

Learners will explore shapes and their attributes through a variety of resources including web sites, story books and manipulatives. Students will create a presentation of a shape adventure.

The Chinese character mark for Tan II (pronounced she-tow-bah) is the second of two lessons to introduce first grade students to geometry using tangrams. This lesson incorporates history, math, and language arts. In this lesson students...

Students will learn how to stretch or shrink a graph vertically.

Students produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. Students also find the Y-value of a function if the X-value is...

In this activity, students develop algorithms for generating and generalizing patterns related to triangle and square geometric models.

In this lesson, the children will identify parts of a whole using modeling clay, participate in an interactive web lesson, participate in an interactive web game, and construct a fraction poster. The activities are used as instructional...

In this activity, students' find the surface area of geometric shapes cut from card paper and relate it to its mass. They use this data to find the surface area of irregularly shaped objects.

For this lesson, learners will learn to incorporate elements and principles of hair design to enhance facial shapes. The students will be able to relate hairstyles and facial structures to provide optimal hair designs for males and females.

In this activity, students learn to calculate the area of geometric shapes. They solve real world problems involving area.

In this activity, students use the pen feature of the calculator to draw geometric shapes in a coordinate plane.

Archeologists, when classifying artifacts, often take note of the physical properties or attributes of artifacts, such as the materials from which the artifacts are made, and their size, shape, function, and decoration. Friezes are often...

This set contains questions about simulating sampling distributions. Students see graphs of simulated distributions enabling them to reach conclusions about mean, shape, and standard deviation.

Students use this App to draw two-dimensional shapes and representations of three-dimensional cubes. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

Over time, volcanoes all over the world have caused the earth to change. Using various activities, research, and dynamic media, learners will discover what causes volcanoes to erupt. They will learn different volcanic shapes and how...
