Geometry: Lesson 1: Points, Lines, Segments, Angles
Fourth graders examine the concepts of, draw, and label points, lines, segments, and angles, They draw, label, and identify horizontal, vertical, intersecting, parallel, and perpendicular lines. They complete an associated worksheet that...
Curated OER
Slope
Young scholars calculate the slope of a line. In this slope lesson, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Lines: Invisible Journeys
Students create visual roadmaps and follow them with gesture to create lines. They draw lines with a white crayon on paper and then paint to create a crayon resist.
Curated OER
Pattern and Shading
Students dentify patterns in their everyday environment. They create several types of pattern, including hatching, crosshatching, and stippling and discover that hatching lines may be drawn horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Curated OER
Reflection: Student Worksheet
For this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and...
