Students explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

In this online math activity, high schoolers answer "true" or "false" to a variety of statements regarding the properties of quadrilaterals. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should...

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson plan, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

High schoolers investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry instructional activity, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the...

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

Second graders culminate their study of shapes by describing the shapes using the proper mathematical descriptors.

High schoolers are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Pupils define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry activity, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Students explore the properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

Students demonstrate how the results of a poll or other scientific study can be biased by selecting special types of people to respond or by asking only certain questions.

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. For this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Young scholars explore statistics by conducting a scientific study. In this data analysis instructional activity, students conduct a class poll about popular foods of their classmates. Young scholars complete a worksheet and discuss how...

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

Students in grade 7 and 8 work on outcomes related to spatial sense and geometric concepts, properties, and relationships. The lesson integrates technology and helps students be exposed to multimedia.

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson plan, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

In this end of the year math test learning exercise, 4th graders complete problems including addition, division, measurement, decimals, and more. Students complete 22 problems. 

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Young scholars study how to find prime numbers. They investigate the teachings of the mathematician Eratosthenes and apply his theory of prime numbers less than 100.

Seventh graders create a graph of their Christmas gifts. They develop categories, compute fractional and decimal parts for each category, identify the number of degrees to represent each fractional part, and create a circle graph to...

High schoolers create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be selected for...

Young scholars review the characteristics of wetlands and list their benefits. After viewing short videos, they identify the organims that make their home in wetlands and how they have adapted. They compare and contrast the...
