Make a Box
Students use specific dimensions to create a box. For this geometry lesson, students analyze the different properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They make conjectures and use it to solve problems.
Curated OER
Determine the Coordinate of Transformations
Students investigate transformation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students identify pairs of coordinates and their location on the grid. They perform rotation and reflection of each polygon.
Curated OER
Cube Net
In this math worksheet, students create a model for the geometric shape of the cube. Students use this math net to cut, fold and tape the figure.
Curated OER
CEENBoT Pictionary
Define and review math vocabulary. Use the CEENBoT to draw pictures that represent each vocabulary word. Pupils work in groups to play math pictionary.

Pythagorean Theorem
In this measurement lesson plan, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.
Curated OER
Shadow Casting
Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...
Curated OER
Transformations Using the Geometer's Sketchpad
Pupils discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.
Curated OER
Piet Mondrian-Find art in the city
First graders describe and replicate repeated patterns in nature, in the environment and in works of art. They pand and use variations in line, shape, form, color, and texture to communicate ideas or feelings in work of art. Pupils...
