Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of infinity as defined in a series by geometry. The lesson integrates the use of philosophy to help them comprehend how infinity can possibly mean while investigating the...

Students design and build their own truss. In this physics lesson, students calculate the forces and maximum load. They complete a full scale diagram of their design.

Students create paper quilts of their own using the isometric grid that tessellates the plane or the fraction quilt square.

Learners discover which regular polygons can be used to tile a plane.

Learners participate in a variety of activities to understand statistics. They collect and interpret data. Also students distinguish the difference between a population and a sample. They make inferences and create arguments using data.

In this unit of lessons, students make sense of the Census. They examine why a census is taken and participate in activities.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Fourth graders use the concept of number patterns to complete a portion of Pascal's Triangle as well as identify and describe the patterns represented.

Math whizzes work with angle sums and exterior angles to figure out the measure of other angles. This particular publication provides comprehensive support in the form of an anticipatory activity, questions designed to prompt discussion,...

Young geometers use the interactive website Cyberchase to practice calculating both area and perimeter. Real world problems encourage learners to discover that we use math each and every day. 

Learners explore scale factor as they create a scale drawing of a box, then determine the surface area and volume of the original and the scale drawing. The one page worksheet contains activities and procedures with four questions....

Fifth graders examine multiplication. They construct arrays to demonstrate specific multiplication facts. They identify examples and non-examples of arrays. Students use counters to model the commutative property of multiplication.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

Students explore how GPS works, the mathematics behind the technology, and how GPS is used. They find positions in one and two dimensions, and participate in a WebQuest that explores how math is used to find a location on Earth using GPS.

Students explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry lesson, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Students use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines of symmetry...

Students describe, make and compare polygons. For this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Students explore the concept of polygon properties. In this polygon properties lesson, students draw polygons with different numbers of sides such as pentagons, octagons, hexagons, etc. Students identify different geometric shapes in the...

Students participate in a instructional activity in order to practice using systems of equations in order to graph them. A cumulative project in the form of a brochure, web page, or interactive kiosk make this instructional activity more...

Young scholars explore the concept of minerals. In this minerals instructional activity, students discuss how cooling affects the size of crystals. Young scholars discuss how the structure of minerals is a tetrahedron. Students discuss...

Fourth graders investigate congruent shapes. In this congruency lesson, 4th graders explore examples of congruent shapes. Students determine how to check for congruency by sliding or flipping the shape.

Students solve geometry problems. For this area and perimeter lesson, students use formulas to solve problems from the textbook. 

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students use the website to research where fractals occur in nature. Students research what fractals are and how fractals are used to solve real world problems.

Learners participate in guessing their partners' hidden Lego pieces from their verbal clues. They work in partners to accomplish their goals. They are meeting a variety of math standards by completing this lesson.
