Students construct triangles. In this geometry lesson, students create equilateral triangles. They also construct triangles where the sides are different. They use the lab to create and move shapes around with the Cabri program.

Students identify interior and exterior angles of polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students add interior and exterior angles of polygons. They use angle theorems to solve the problems.

Sixth graders use the local newspaper to find and discuss examples of uses of statistics and the ways in which the information is presented. They create and represent their own set of data showing how students get to school each day.

Students, while in the computer lab, utilize technology to practice math, science, Spanish and grammar skills. They build on math skills and attempt to improve their grammar skills as well as make connections between English and Spanish...

Eighth graders examine linear equations by creating graphs from them.  For this graphing lesson, 8th graders read several linear equations and plot them on a graph with the help of their classmates.  Students find the slope of...

Young scholars 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...

Students find the median of trapezoids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify important properties of trapezoids. They create trapezoids and polygons using Cabri software.

Students explore the concept of functions. For this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Students use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.

Students investigate patterns and functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students examine the repetition of integers and objects. They create formulas for the repetition and identify them as function using equations.

Learners explore the concept of fractions. For this fractions lesson, students perform basic operations such as addition and subtraction with fractions. Learners play a game on the computer called 'Fraction Four' that gives students...

Learners develop an understanding of monetary policy. In this monetary policy lesson, students define economic indicators and specify the economic conditions they reflect. Learners explain the three functions of the system and play a...

Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

In this geometry lesson, learners trace the capital letter "T" in different directions to learn how a shape is congruent. Students trace this letter on a sheet of paper, then turn, flip it, and trace it in different directions, only to...

Students review the concept of median, explore how to calculate quartiles for any size data set and experience how to build a box plot.

Students identify shapes, create shapes, and make a pyramid, a drum, and a sail using their shapes. In this shapes lesson plan, students also identify plane and space shapes.

Students participate in a lesson plan that is concerned with the concepts of arrays and factors. They use a Hershey bar and divide it into segments in order to simulate the arrays. Then students construct other arrays from the leftover...

High schoolers engage in a lesson that focuses on analytic geometry. The lesson asked them to apply skills of relating equations when plotting them on the coordinate plane. Students construct the equations using specific criteria and...

Middle schoolers explore the concept of place value. In this place value instructional activity, students subtract numbers from a specific place value.

Students investigate how much wood is in a forest. For this forestry lesson, students calculate how much usable wood comes from the forest. They will read, Sizing Things Up from Trees + Me = Forestry, measure firewood piles, and create a...

Students identify where their water sources and explore a watershed on a map.  For this watershed lesson students walk a wetland, and identify sources of pollution.

Students investigate linear equations through models. For this algebra lesson, students investigate solving one and two step equations. Review solving a basic equation before starting this assignment.

Students explore probability by participating in an experimental activity. In this number statistics lesson, students collaborate in groups in which they move a game piece around a board. Students calculate their probability of landing...

Students sort objects by color. In this classification lesson, students identify the color of the objects and categorize them according to color.

Students identify aquatic insects. In this organism activity, students locate aquatic insects near a local waterway and collect them. Students graph the amount of insects that they collected.
