Students explain and explain the concept of a grid system. They define absolute and relative location and develop an imaginary city on graph paper using a grid system.

Students use computer applets to demonstrate three dimensional coordinate planes. In this coordinate planes lesson plan, students play a coordinate game and a maze game.

Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...

Learners plot points on the x-y plane using x and y coordinates and describe how the x and y values relate to the position of the point on the plane. They plot points that fit a linear relationship. They explain that their horizontal and...

Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

Review operations related to rational numbers and integers using the include PowerPoint presentation, "Interesting Integers." Young mathematicians classify rational numbers as being natural, whole, or integers and read an article about...

An inquiry-based algebra lesson explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as well as the...

Students outline several objects such as glue bottles, large paint brushes, scissors, etc. They add a few details to each object such as labels, handles, etc. and then draw two vertical lines and two horizontal lines across the page.

In ancient Egypt, mummified bodies were embellished with elaborate cartouches housing the name of the deceased. Elementary artists can read all about Egyptian burial practices then create a cartouche of their own using clay and real...

Students review primary colors and practice making straight lines. In this visual arts lesson, students paint simple shapes as large as a toothpick, using specific primary colors. During the construction of the shapes students are...

Students calculate the different ratios using a right triangle. In this trigonometry lesson, students identify the sine, cosine and tangent of each side. They find the missing angles using the different ratios.

Students differentiate the properties of longitudinal and transverse waves. In this physics lesson, students calculate CEENBoT's rate of propagation by measuring its frequency and distance per cycle. They use a mathematical formula...

Learners find locations based upon their latitude and longitude coordinates. In this latitude and longitude lesson, students locate points on a grid and learn how to use an astrolabe.

Students explore the art of watercolor while discovering specific techniques used to create color. In this watercolor techniques lesson, students examine a variety of sample watercolor arrangements, practice the steps involved in...

Students observe and demonstrate a variety of basic geometric constructions using the Triman Safety Compass. Using the compass, they draw circles, bisect a line segment, construct an angle, bisect an angle, copy an angle, and create...

Students capture the serve motion of a tennis player with a digital or video camera. Using transparencies or a software package, analyze the speed, acceleration, displacement and time of the racquet head and ball in the tennis stroke.

Make these funky checker board patterns. They will not only add fun decoration to your classroom, but your pupils will be able to practice using simple geometry tools.They will use tools to make lines and circular shapes using a ruler,...

Four quadrants, four times the fun. Future mathematicians learn the terminology associated with the coordinate plane and how to plot points in all four quadrants. A worksheet tests their understanding of the material in the 16th...

Identifying the location of ordered pairs on coordinate planes is the focus in the math lesson presented here. In it, 4th graders are introduced to coordinate pairs, the x/y axis, and the techniques associated with this type of graphing....

Working in pairs, young mathematicians will practice number identification with a game of tic-tac-toe. Supplies needed: two 3x3 grids with numbers 1-9 in random order, and two different colored crayons. Player 1 will choose and read a...

Fourth graders examine mirror symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, 4th graders discover that symmetry is not always vertical or horizontal. Students cut and fold shapes along lines of symmetry.

Sixth graders, in groups, are given different parts of the whole project. They use information from Busch Gardens to explore line graphs, averages, and other math vocabulary.

Students display knowledge of line of symmetry by designing a geometric stained glass window pattern.

Students work in teams to conduct short surveys of their classmates. They show their results using at least two different types of graphs. Students separate into teams and are asked that each team to choose something that they are...
