The toss of a die determines what questions your pupils will answer in this lesson plan. Learners respond to questions based on Bloom's taxonomy, discussing The Adventures of Tom Sawyer with classmates along the way. They finish by...

Learners separate things that just appear similar from those that are actually similar. A diagram of triangles is given, and then a variety of geometric characteristics changed and the similarity of the triangles analyzed. Because the...

Every movement in the world can be measured and even motionless objects can be significant indicators of movement. Focus on motion graphs that feature distance vs. time, speed vs. time, and positive and negative acceleration.

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Did you know that a polar bear's skin is actually black? Or that the lightest mammal weighs less than a paperclip? Young scientists learn these and other amazing facts about mammals as they explore the animal kingdom with...

Send learners on a search for facts about the solar system with this scavenger hunt activity. Whether they are finding out how far the sun is from the earth, or the names of all four gas giants, this resource will engage young...

Class, start your engines. Future engineers design a car with old CDs as wheels. The power source? Some rubber bands will do the trick! This is the first installment of a five-part series.

How do you graph a quadratic function efficiently? Explore graphing quadratic functions by writing in intercept form with a lesson that makes a strong connection to the symmetry of the graph and its key features before individuals write...

Tenth graders explore congruent triangles.  In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders investigate the conditions necessary to prove two triangles are congruent by SSS, ASA, AAS, or SAS. 

Eighth graders explore congruent and similar figures.  In this eighth grade geometry lesson, 8th graders use geoboards to create congruent and similar figures and explore the relationships between the sides and angles. 

Student sinvestigate the area and perimeter of polygons. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.. They identify the ratio and proportions of the sides and angles of polygons.

Ninth graders find the height of every day objects using techniques learned through postulates that allow triangles in a problem to be similar. They calculate the length of a missing side and solve proportions.

In this ratio instructional activity, students investigate the relationship between the ratio of two sides of similar triangles. Afterwards, they convert fractions, decimals, and percents. This three-page instructional activity...

Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this...

Tenth graders solve for the perimeter and rewrite word problems. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders label different shapes and set up the corresponding ratios as equations. They solve for the missing side and calculate the values for...

Three solid figures are lined up down the left side of the page to be compared to three nets down the right side. Learners simply decide if the corresponding net matches the solid figure. Be aware that the publisher's watermark is...

In this congruent triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve 5 various types of geometry problems related to triangles. First, they draw and label triangles, indicating the additional pairs of corresponding parts that would have to be...

First graders draw pictures of spelling words. In this spelling lesson, 1st graders create flashcards by drawing a picture of each of the spelling words on one side and writing the actual word on the other side.

Learners explore the application of Hinge Theorem. In this geometry activity, students write inequalities, given two sides of a triangle. They solve problems with triangular inequalities using the proper theorem.

Students explore symmetry.  Students observe a variety of bug and plant drawings, then draw a bug jar. Students observe bugs from the top of the jar for a symmetrical view, and the side of the jar for an asymmetrical view. ...

Learners read a flowchart and look at corresponding photos to explore the anti-communist fears in the mid-twentieth century and the impact Senator Joseph McCarthy had on those fears.

In this averages worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 3 various types of problems. First, they find the mean, mode, median and range for each set of data shown. Then, students match each team to the picture shown that they think...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students determine the answer to trivia clues and perform the indicated operation.  They then write that answer if the box which correspond to the letter of the clue to form a magic...

Students examine debating procedures. In teams, students research the effects of European-Aboriginal interaction. Students collect, analyze and interpret information to support their side of the debate.
