Students investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed polygons.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

Students identify the circumcenter of a triangle. In this geometry instructional activity, students construct a perpendicular bisector using a straight edge and a compass. They differentiate between triangles and collinear points.

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry lesson, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Young scholars differentiate between inscribed quadrilaterals and parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shaped of the polygons when it is inscribed inside of a circle. They calculate the missing angles of the...

Students calculate the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines.In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They graph their lines using the slope of the equation.

Learners find the slopes for perpendicular and parallel lines. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri software to create lines to compare.

49Students investigate the properties of right triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing angles and sides.

Students identify similar and congruent right triangles. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric ratios to identify missing sides and angles of a triangle. They differentiate similar and congruent triangles.

This is one super model interactive! Middle and high school science scholars examine scientific models through a simple resource. Guided, hands-on practice allows them to classify conceptual, mathematical, and physical models. Other...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Even as adults it can be hard to distinguish needs from wants. Using pictures of common, everyday items, children make a pocket chart separating the objects they need from those that they want. Discuss their choices, explaining that...

Third graders construct numbers to the millions place. For this 30-page place value lesson, learners create numbers and evaluate the place value of digits. They explore standard and expanded form of numbers. An incredible resource!

Redecorate a classroom on a budget. Middle schoolers rebuild a classroom after a disaster. They conduct Internet research to determine construction supplies needed and the most cost effective way to reach the predetermined results. They...

Arithmetic and geometric sequences are linear and geometric patterns. Help pupils understand the relationship and see the connection with an activity that asks them to write the rules and classify the patterns correctly. A sorting...

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,...

Here is an outstanding lesson on wants versus needs designed for 1st graders. Pupils listen to the book, Something Good which presents themes on wants, needs, choice, resources, and counting money. Pupils complete worksheets embedded in...

Learners estimate and determine the number of cents (pennies) that are needed to equal the mass of a variety of common objects. They develop a process for measuring and explore concepts related to units of measurement.

Students collect pennies and sort them in ascending order of dates. For the year on each penny, students research key events in history and pick a single event, explaining its historical significance. Then students use these events to...

Take the old baking soda and vinegar volcano to the next level by using it to study repeated lava flows over time, examine geologic features on Earth and Mars, and speculate about some of the formations on Mars. 

Students calculate evaporation rate using differential equations. In this calculus lesson, students explain how pan evaporation works. They complete a worksheet to sum up the lesson.

Students draw and calculate altitudes. They draw the altitude of acute, right and obtuse triangles and calculate the altitude of a triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

Students, as a final project, draw a picture of their ideal neighborhood on a sunny day. In addition to the sun, their drawings include homes, trees, streets, and selected objects. Each object in their drawing has a written description...
