Students use technology to graph and compare angles. In this geometry lesson, students range of motion in the environment. They identify the missing parts of polygons using similarity and congruence.

Learners investigate angles of polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the relationship between angles and the number of sides in a polygon. They differentiate between sumilarity anf congruence in angles and...

Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry activity, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Students investigate special segments in triangles. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare, estimate and predict findings based on their data. They differentiate between similarity and congruence of triangles.

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Fifth graders describe parts of a whole as a fraction, decimal and a percent. In this math lesson, 5th graders practice converting fractions to decimals by dividing. Additionally, students explain how decimals are converted to...

Students experience various types of play. They determine play is the way a child learns and describe the value of play. They discover that play is a child's natural way of learning and that children test and practice new physical,...

Looking for some vocabulary for your unit on space? Check out this 25-word solar system crossword puzzle for ideas. There is no word bank for this puzzle, so pupils will either need prior instruction or a reference material that they can...

Fifth graders identify and classify scalene, equilateral, and isosceles triangles. In this triangle lesson plan, 5th graders define the different attributes of 3 types of triangles and sort them by descriptions and...

Students read the novel "Cecilia's Year". They answer questions to test for reading comprehension. They also relate the story to their own life.

Students design and build a model solar energy home. In this technology lesson, students test the efficiency of their model houses by measuring temperature at regular intervals. They analyze data and share results with the class.

Students conduct an experiment in which they systematically separate cations from a mixture of substances. They use the following types of reactions to do so: precipitation, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction. They compare a...

Students work together to build tetrahedral kites. They must follow directions and the provided materials. They discover the engineering concepts needed to make the kite.

High schoolers 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 explain the historical significance of use of the scientific method in developing the first airplane and appreciate the process involved in developing a new technology.

Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

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....

Students study drag and how it affects a parachute in the sky.  In this parachutes lesson students build models and compare their drag. 

Students work together to discover the importance of charts while navigating. They complete a worksheet and practice reading maps. They create their own nautical chart to complete the lesson.
