Geometers explore mathematics by completing an object measurement worksheet. They utilize a variety of candy bars and rulers to conduct a measurement experiment in class. They complete worksheets as a group based on the measurement...

For this length and width worksheet, 2nd graders draw 6 specific items or objects that are the following measurements: 6 feet tall, 3 inches long, 9 inches long, 1 inch wide, 25 feet long and 4 feet long.

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson plan, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with...

In this math worksheet, students measure the length, width and perimeter of objects in their home (window, rug, table, blanket, door, refrigerator and student's choice). They notate their findings and make a little book.

Students identify and compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning to family activities and needs. They draw an accurate floor plan--either existing or a work in progress to scale. Then, students roughly sketch their bedroom...

In this math patterns instructional activity, students review the beginning numbers in Fibonacci's numbers, find the pattern, follow directions and problem solve to find the Golden Number and complete a chart, measure lengths of body...

Students explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. In this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Students analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and identify...

In this measurement worksheet, students measure the length, width and perimeter of objects at their school (book, desk, chalkboard, door, window, piece of paper and student's choice). Students then fill out pages with the information...

Sixth graders create a grid of their fictitious store. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders use a computer to measure out the floor of their store and create furniture, doorways, windows, and more. This lesson includes directions for...

Fifth graders measure different heights and spans on a classmate's body such as full height, head width, leg length, and arm length. They place the data in a spreadsheet, determine the proportions, and draw a portrait using the proper...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Students collect as much information as possible about their egg and record the information in a systematic way. They prepare a description of the egg your team was given that enable you to distinguish your egg from everyone else's egg.

Students investigate woodworking and converting lengths to cubic measurements.  In this math conversions instructional activity, students examine the length of a piece of board, and its total area by using the formula for finding...

Practice makes perfect! Learners estimate the least squares fit line for a set of data. They understand error involved in least squares fit lines, and solve application problems using least square fit lines.

Students research Hawaii's fishing regulations. In this conservation lesson, students explore the reasons behind ocean conservation. Resources are provided.

Students solve problems using various strategies. In this problem solving lesson, students read the book Swimmy by Leo Lionni. Students make fish swimming patterns, measure how many goldfish crackers it takes to make a handprint and...

High schoolers create a lap-sized quilt top using a French Braid method. Lesson is written with two time frame options and has step by step classroom instructions as well as suggested homework.

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this activity about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand...

Fourth graders draw a rough floor plan of a house to scale without using a ruler to determine measurements. They see how architects use scale to draw blueprints, and solve math problems using scale.

Students estimate the least squares fit line for a set of data. They understand error involved in least square fit lines. They solve application problems using least square fit lines.

First graders study the animals in the Maya Forest Reserve. In this conservation lesson, 1st graders create a graph to compare the environment of animals to their own. They design a 3D model of these two environments.
