Young scholars utilize the art journal format to share their thoughts and feelings through a combination of art and text. Materials are gathered and the work performed to fill down time they may have between assignments.

Fourth graders compare and order fractions in a fraction game activity. In this fraction game lesson, 4th graders play a game that requires them to add fractions with like denominators and compare fractions. Students create posters where...

Students practice the alphabet using a variety of songs, books and activities.

Students investigate Hohmann orbit transfers using cardboard and string while focusing on the orbits of Earth and Mars. They look at the planets orbits around the sun and transfer orbit form one planet to another to determine what a...

Students differentiate between bar graphs, line graphs, pictographs and bar graphs. After participating in a hands-on cookie activity, students label and draw their own graphs.

Pupils read books, learn about the letter c, and eat roasted peanuts all to learn about the circus. In this circus lesson plan, students also use design their own tickets and have parachute play.

Learners decide on six different types of candy bars to include in a data collection activity. Working in small groups, they survey a target group in a set amount of time. They access a Internet based graphing tool to create a bar graph...

Students determine the relationship between perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and/or volume of similar figures and their parts. They complete activities related to the question. Answer key included.

Students use graphs and plots to measure the basal area and stocking levels.  In this graphing instructional activity students work in the field the use their data to help them complete a lab activity. 

Learners will differentiate between inscribed and central angles in this geometry lesson. They answer questions dealing with circles as they relate to inscribed triangles and angles. This assignment includes a printable worksheet.

Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus lesson. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians measurements.

Students practice identifying spheres, triangles, and rectangles and the difference between plane shapes and space shapes. They identify shapes in the classroom and complete activity sheets.

Students identify the relationship between angles and arcs. In this geometry activity, students rotate and move the circle around to create different arcs on the TI-Navigator. They differentiate between major and minor arcs.

Find the length of an arc. Students relate central angles to the area and length of a sector and graph circles on the TI to make predictions.

Students explore geometric shapes and patterns. They view the provided paper display of a quilt to identify geometric figures it contains. Afterwards, they draw and color their own quilt on a activity sheet.

Learners investigate properties of the unit circle using sine, cosine and tangent. They analyze the answers to questions about the unit circle based on a right triangle.

To better understand that the intersection point of two lines lies inside a circle, learners use their keen measurement skills. They discuss arcs, rays, tangent lines, and reflex angles. Then, they put their skills to work as they...

Students practice multiplication using factors to 5. They discuss the wings of birds and the wings of airplanes and complete activity sheet. Afterwards, they number and draw groups of airplanes.

Students practice estimating and comparing measurements using yards, feet, and inches. They make comparisons about kites and a variety of measurements. Afterwards, they complete an activity sheet and draw a bird kite with long wings and...

Learners differentiate and calculate the length of an arc. They define an arc and relate it to the area of a circle and integrate the function to solve the equations. Students use their TI calculators to graph the equation.

Is it ok to be mad at someone who comes to your party uninvited? What about someone who interrupts you? For this prereading strategy, your class members must decide whether or not they'd get angry in the 10 situations provided. Then,...

Invite that hungry caterpillar to teach your class about nutrition! After brief instruction on fruit, the teacher reads The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle to the class. Kids hold up the fruit images at appropriate points in the...

Sixth graders toss popcorn kernels at a 12? circle inscribed in a 12? square. By counting the number of popcorn kernels that land inside the circle and inside the square the students calculate estimates for the value of pi.

Math whizzes use the area probability applet to manipulate the size of the circle and the rectangle to explore the probability that a point in the rectangle is also in the circle.
