Students organize and interpret data using bar graphs.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Fourth graders discuss characteristics of polygons and organize and visualize those characteristics using Kidspiration. Students import pictures that demonstrate the characteristics and save their projects to be reviewed and graded by...

Students hear the story "The Flood," and take a survey of the favorite pet animals in the class. They take the information complied in the survey and make a bar graph to show favorite pet animals using the computer program KidPix.

Students discuss shapes and their characteristics. As a class, they explore shapes made from a square. Students explore triangles, squares, fractions of a square such as a half and a quarter. Individually, they complete worksheets, and...

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson plan, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Students read a NASA Web-based text and use its information to complete an activity which uses a pitot tube to calculate the speed of an airplane.

Learners read text from a NASA Web-based textbook then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it to complete an activity on aircraft trajectories.

High schoolers, after reading the Lift Equation page from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the lift equation by answering questions.

Learners, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by applying it to the calculation of speed, distance, acceleration, and time in simple aircraft motion.

Students calculate the length of a side of a triangle using a trigonometric function. They calculate the measure of an angle given two sides of a triangle with a trigonometric function.

Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students use four different computer estimation applets with several classroom estimation activities.

Learners use Venn diagrams in order to classify different objects and numbers. They then use "Venn Diagram Shape sorter" applets on the computer.

Students investigate shapes in sports. In this geometry lesson, students identify geometric shapes in sports equipment, fields, etc. Students present their findings.

Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern instructional activity, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern...

Young scholars explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals lesson plan, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Young scholars calculate fractal dimensions of various...

Students listen to whale stories and answer addition and subtraction problems in the stories.  In this addition and subtraction lesson, students receive 20 goldfish.  Based on the story they eat the goldfish. Students write...

Students complete a variety of activities related to the folktale from India, "The Drum." They listen to the story and answer comprehension questions, construct a coffee can drum, and complete a phonics and matching worksheet.

Learners review terminology: pulse, heart rate, target heart rate zone. They work in three groups, and assigned to one of three activity stations. At 5-minute intervals, 4th graders check their pulse and record it on their group...

Young scholars convert their physical models of a playground from a previous lesson into a map of the playground that includes a scale and key. They examine and discuss examples of maps, view an image to map photo essay, and create a map...

Using The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, pupils practice sequencing events in a story. After reading the story, they head to the computer lab to use Kidspiration to sequence events. Then they create their own books to demonstrate...
