Students explore the human body by conducting an exercise in class. In this human anatomy instructional activity, students view a diagram of the human body and identify the specific bones and joints that allow us to perform specific...

Have your class review how to identify right angles. Learners identify right angles, and then write the number of angles found in each shape.

Seventh graders explore lines of symmetry, congruent polygons and patterns. They listen to "The Seasons Sewn," observe a PowerPoint presentation, and identify congruent polygons and visual patterns. Through an internet activity, 7th...

Pupils review personification and alliteration. In this literary devices lesson plan, students use personification and alliteration in a sentence. Pupils draw a picture reflecting personification.

Students create an iPhoto book exhibiting a variety of idioms that describe feelings. They take photos using a digital camera that show students exhibiting the feelings explained by the idioms.

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Make sure you are well-informed before embarking on a study of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. This resource includes an analysis of the text that a teacher can use to prepare a unit of study. It covers plot elements, themes,...

Middle schoolers examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

Students analyze different polygons by shapes and sides. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They name the different polygons based on the number of sides.

Young scholars 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...

Students define properties of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They identify and use the properties of solids to solve problems.

Students investigate triangles and congruences. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. They differentiate between similar and congruent triangles.

Students complete readings on kite making and kite flying. They analyze how the parts of a system interconnect and influence each other. Students identifies and uses color and form in a 3D artwork.

Students find triangles in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....
