Students 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...

Students construct a three-dimensional model of the Pantheon.

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

Students identify geometrical shapes displayed in photographs of everyday objects in a metropolitan setting.

Students review definitions of word wall words using songs, movement and sharing.

Third graders complete a classroom game used to build understanding of two and three-dimensional shapes. Diagonals, sides, regularity, congruency, angle measurements, parallels, perpendicular, faces, and edges are a few of the vocabulary...

Sixth graders explore probability. They analyze a class chart and list the letters of the alphabet according to frequency. Using the data collected, they complete probability problems.

Students look at ratio, what it means for numbers or objects to be in a given ratio, and how ratios and fractions are related. They write and solve story problems which involve whole numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication,...

Ninth graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional shapes: square, circle, box, pentagon; classify objects by shape attributes. They then list a number of properties that distinguish squares from...

Ninth graders play guess my shape (either describe or use a feely bag to introduce the 3 shapes in the problem.) As they are identified put them in an order as shown in the problem. As the students work on the problem in pairs teacher...

Students explore two dimensional geometric figures. They explore the relationships and measurements of geometric figures. Students apply proportion and scaling. They design a city park for students and teenagers.

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Learners use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Middle schoolers explore movement and position concepts. They follow directions using left , right, up, down, North, South, East and West. Students draw and follow a path on a grid to show a route followed. They label and follow legends...

Students study the meaning, symbolism, and value of U.S. coins, especially the quarter. They conduct a survey of coins in students' possession, graphing the results to show frequency distribution and drawing inferences about the U.S....

The Shodor Education Foundation provides this lesson plan to give middle schoolers an opportunity to connect probabilty and geometry. Students learn how to calculate probability, use geometry to solve probabilty problems, and, as an...

Different cultures' contributions to Geometry are discussed.

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...

This robust lesson plan for upper elementary and middle school grades introduces the concepts for lines, rays, line segments, and planes. Resources are linked to it and ready for your use.

The students will be split into small, cooperative groups and build a city following specific guidelines. The students will learn how a city is constructed with angles, intersections, parallel, intersecting, and transversal streets. They...
