Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Middle schoolers receive a copy of a "Spaghetti Measure" task sheet along with the scoring rubric. Students preview the task and the rubric prior to starting the task. tudeThey determine the circumference of a circle of spaghetti that...

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it. After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups. They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

High schoolers practice identifying right, vertical, and adjacent angles using a Smartboard. They then determine measurements of all of the angles when only one measurement is given.

Eighth graders study the cultural and architectural history of San Diego. After study they create a design of a home based of features from historical and modern homes found in their research.

Seventh graders become familiar with the history and times which influenced a featured mathematician each month. Through Internet research, they gather information about a different mathematician each month. Students solve mathematical...

Third graders experiment with, identify, and follow teacher-directed instruction toward understanding two-dimensional geometric shapes found within the environment. Groups of students utilize geoboards to help them explain geometric shapes.

Students, after reading the Drag Equation page from the NASA Web site, demonstrate an understanding of this equation and how drag is dependent on the variables included in the equation.

Students, after reading the Drag Equation page from the NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of this equation and how drag is dependent on the variables included in the equation.

Students practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.

Fourth graders participate in hands-on activities to introduce them to the concept of symmetry. They make a silly symmetrical picture out of their names after gluing them onto a larger sheet of construction paper. This is a really...

Young scholars explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals lesson plan, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Young scholars calculate fractal dimensions of various...

Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

Second graders describe a polygon in the form of a riddle.

Young scholars create a classroom quilt that illustrates the many unique ways that students use math skills.

Sixth graders identify various angles by using pattern blocks. For this measurement lesson, 6th graders find out how many degrees are in each of the different angles of the various pattern blocks.

Learners demonstrate an understanding of the text by applying it to the calculations involving the area of a wing. They use an online textbook to help them calculate the area of the surface of wing planforms.

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate the areas of rectangles. They use the formula for area of a rectangle.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math instructional activity, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Do you need practice remembering or learning different geometry vocabulary words and definitions? The flash cards at this web site are for you! There is a link to a list of terms with definitions you can click if you want to see if you...
