Balancing Act
Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.
Curated OER
Rep Tiles
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...

Geo Jammin' - Day 2, Lesson 4: Sing a Song of Shapes
Students learn five songs to define and develop understanding of the attributes of two- and three-dimensional figures and the meaning of mathematical terms. They classify objects as either two- or three-dimensional, through the use of...
Curated OER
Dream Bedroom Floor Plan
Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' - Day 2, Lesson 6: Rhyme and Reason
Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.
Curated OER
Worksheet 18 Fall 1995
For each of the equations they find the values of the rational expressions. Then they differentiate each expression in relation to the value of t.
Curated OER
Motion Picture Analysis Worksheet
In this motion picture analysis learning exercise, students decipher what type of motion picture they viewed based on a complete list of criteria. Students then answer multiple questions based on their discoveries.
Curated OER
Rotational Dynamics
In this motion worksheet, students calculate the initial angular acceleration, and the angular speed before and after impact for different objects. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Lines, Segments, and Rays
Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.
Curated OER
Measurement
Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.
Curated OER
Seasonal CEENBoT
Students simulate the Earth's revolution around the sun using CEENBoT. In this earth science lesson students calculate the Earth's distance in AU and it's speed of revolution. They explain how the Earth's movement cause seasonal variation.
Curated OER
Plain Figures And Measuring Figures
Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...
Curated OER
How Long is a Slinky?
Students take part in a variety of measurement tasks. Students measure the length of a slinky. Students work out how many slices of tomato will fit around the edge of a pizza. Students measure the label from a can accurately.

Math Who Am I?
In this math facts review instructional activity, students read the description of each math term and try to guess what the answer is. Students may check their attempts by circling the third letter in the box which gives the answer.
Curated OER
Prints and Outlines
Students determine the area of two objects by superimposing one on the other. They compare and order the area of different shapes by covering a larger shape with similar smaller ones. They complete these activities as different stations.
