Students use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They work with...

Learners calculate the area and perimeter of a basketball court. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between similarity and congruence of geometric objects. They test conjectures and use it to solve problems.

Pupils play a game and collect data for their graph. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratic equations and identify properties of their graph. They describe the pattern created by the graph and the game.

Young scholars differentiate between similarity and congruence using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students label triangles based on their properties. They find missing sides and angles using the interior sum theorem.

Students factor and solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students play a game as the collect and graph data. they identify properties of their parabola and make predictions.

Pupils investigate simple linear functions by trying to guess a function rule from inputs and outputs. They write the function rule in algebraic form.

Students investigate the growth and decay of an exponential function. For this algebra lesson, students apply properties of exponent solve problems. They identify any patterns they see in the graphs.

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot he...

Students identity simple geometric shapes. In this early geometry lesson, the teacher introduces students to triangles, squares, and rectangles, then students identify and classify the shapes as they are found in the classroom. To...

Students solve problems dealing with percents. In this algebra lesson, students convert between decimals and percents using factoring. They solve one step problems involving percents.

Students discover the two types of division problems.  In this number division lesson, students identify repeated subtraction and sharing division problems.  Students create word problems utilizing the two different types of...

Young scholars explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Young scholars plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a...

Students look at data in graphs with missing labels and use what they know about graphs to label the topics, titles, and axes of the graph. In this graph lesson plan, students pretend they are news reporters and have to fix their stories!

Students explore patterns and geometric sequencing. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. Students solve real life problems. They demonstrate, with cardboard pieces, fraction and...

In this math activity, students examine the patterns in the pie graphs and identify the common one. They also divide the fractions by whole numbers for the set of problems.

Students use hands-on activities to explore transformations. They view a video segment that demonstrate how M. C. Escher employed geometry and transformations to create so many of his famous drawings.

Double click that mouse because you just found an amazing lesson plan! This cross-curricular Ornithology lesson plan incorporates literature, writing, reading informational text, data collection, scientific inquiry, Internet research,...

Wow! Put on that thinking cap and solve multi-step equations. To solve equations, learners review the use of the distributive property and combining like terms. This three-day instructional activity comes with about 20 pages of...

Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

Learners identify and form a pattern out of 2-D shapes, then transfer this pattern into creating placemats.

Fifth graders investigate the relationship between math and art by examining patterns and polygons.They examine how polygons make up the patterns that form tessellations, and determine tessellations that occur in nature. Finally, they...

Students create a spring egg using a repeating pattern.
