How are forces and motion important to a swing set? Scholars explore the concepts of force and motion using swing sets. In preparation for their own STEM design project, individuals take surveys and data from peers, complete labs on...

Use dance to help learners conceptualize line segments, rays, lines, and planes. They choreograph dances that show dimensional space. Dancers start by pondering space, point, and lines as the teacher draws them in the air. Each...

Students plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. Given a game board and other manipulatives, groups of students participate in a coordinate grid game where they stand and place their feet and hands on a given grid position. Much like...

Pupils identify properties of a line. In this algebra activity, students differentiate between functions and nonfunctions. They use the slope and y intercept to graph their lines.

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.

Challenge math scholars with polygon word problems that require logical reasoning. They answer two word problems about geometric shapes and their arrangement in a column based on clues given. Next, learners draw a robot made of...

Students graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the slope as being positive,negative or undefined. They differentiate between different quadrants on a coordinate plane.

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Learners, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Just exactly where does the name conic come from? This brief hands-on exploration explains it all. Have your class cut cones to create their own conics, then assess their understanding with a few identification problems. Consider making...

Students investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book The Greedy Triangle and define the shapes mentioned in the book. Students make the shapes by using their bodies.

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

For this math worksheet, students define the sets of vectors. They also observe the concept of area for the parallelogram and how vectors are used.

Students describe stellar objects using terms such as stars, planets, satellites, orbits and light. In this sun and stars unit, students research stellar objects through seven individual lessons discovering star characteristics, how...

Fourth graders create enlarged replica of a stegosaurus drawing, using a grid to practice coordinates.

In this math worksheet, students examine how the moment of a force about a point is defined. They look at the 2 problems to define the information contained in them.

In this machine worksheet, learners use a set of 14 clues to complete a crossword puzzle about simple machines. Worksheet contains a link to additional activities.
