Pupils identify properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students create triangles using three different segments. They make conjectures and predictions.

Students determine the direction the river flows. They use a US map with rivers listed, colored pencils and a compass or transparency with directions marked. Students use a color key to determine which direction the river is flowing...

In this math learning exercise, students examine the graph of the derivative. Then they determine the critical points that correspond to the relative extrema.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Students examine the concept of ethnic advertising. For this African American history lesson, students watch segments of videos about the history of ethnic advertising. Students respond to questions that correspond to each...

Students learn a line dance that corresponds with the recreational dance curriculum of North Carolina. They respond to directional cues and terms in folk an line dancing.
