Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.

Students investigate ways to enhance an object's flying ability.  In this model construction lesson, students construct two paper airplanes, one of which is twice as big as the first.  Students compare and contrast the two...

In this statistics worksheet, students solve 5 frequency problems. In four of the problems, the frequency table is provided and students construct one relative frequency table, one cumulative frequency table, and two cumulative relative...

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math lesson, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Students explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Students use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry...

Exploring mathematics through art is a fun and concrete way to help learners grasp a concept. They will construct a paper penguin using fractions cut from circles. They'll need to determine 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 of each circle. Once the...

Sixth graders construct and interpret graphs from ozone data collected in Phoenix area. Can be adapted to other areas.

Students investigate the concept of angles and how they are used in geometry. They construct polygons using various types of angles and then classify them according to their physical properties. Students use a computer program in order...

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Eighth graders explore problem solving strategies to build a paper bridge with a partner. As a class they discuss a variety of techniques to solve a simple problem, then in pairs construct the longest non-supported single span bridge...

Can your class construct triangles and determine congruence? Find out with this well put together worksheet. THey construct triangles to given specifications and identify if they are congruent. There are 3 muti-step problems to solve.

Students create and interpret line plots, bar graphs, and circle graphs. The lesson assumes mastery of conversions from fraction to decimal to percent, construction of angles, and at least an introduction to graphs displaying data.

Fourth graders make change by participating in a role-play restaurant activity. In this making change lesson, 4th graders use their math skills to compare prices and compute bills in a role play restaurant activity.

Students observe how certain geometric shapes can be used to make some structures rigid and others flexible. The activity involves construction of a 30-60 right triangle, folding while following directions, and identifying polygons.

Fifth graders explore shapes. They recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Pupils discuss the properties and criteria for each shape they find in real life and construct a Kid Pix project using pictures of the...

Student complete worksheet using the definitions of lines and angle vocabulary. They define the word and follow a direction given on the worksheet such "construct a line." They complete an online tutorial on how to measure angles using a...

Eighth graders compare the volume of three cylinders constructed from the same size sheet of paper. They use concrete and graphical models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, and volume of two and three...

Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...

Young mathematicians read the book, The Doorbell Rang. They examine the necessity of division in everyday life, such as cooking and sharing. They use paper cookies to construct equivalent sets.

Students extend and create patterns. Through a variety of activities, they discover patterns as they exist in math and their everyday lives. Students create a necklace that represents a pattern.

Investigate the concepts of fractions and integers in order to review for a future assessment. The teacher reviews the major concepts with the class and provides help throughout the lesson as needed. Math students work together in small...

Pupils practice drawing geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, learners complete an activity that requires them to draw angles and shapes to the nearest degree.

Students use construction paper to make a set of folding cards that initially hide a zero and then open to reveal a new number. They put their cards into sequential order and recognize numbers as they count by ten.

Students construct a simple refracting telescope. They calculate the magnification.
