Students classify polygons by name and shape. For this geometry lesson, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

First graders are introduced to the topic of researching by the librarian. Using a worksheet, they use various sources in the library to choose one animal from various groups. They complete a fact sheet on each animal and report their...

If possible, acquire a handful of wheat kernels from a local farmer or seed dealer. Hand them out so students can feel them and see what they look like. Share background information. 2. Draw a wheat kernel on the chalkboard, or use the...

Young scholars examine their neighborhoods and draw maps reflecting land use. In addition, they make predictions about their community's future. Students also consider the impact of business and industry on their communities and...

Students use PhotoDraw software to create original drawings. Using the basic design elements, line, shape, form, texture, value, and color, students create original drawings on the computer based on drawings previously rendered by hand.

In this science worksheet, middle schoolers use the key code on the right to unscramble each of the scientists. They also match each of the scientists found to their correct description.

Students discuss the appropriateness of using a specific tool to measure and define an object. After measuring the area of their classroom and the objects in it with the appropriate tools, they create a floor plan that makes the most...

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. In groups, they create and decorate their own polyhedron design. After identifying the faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron, 6th graders determine a relationship between the...

Young scholars are engaged in the making of a felt pouch. They complete the project with the aid of the teacher because the lesson plan is meant for the Special Education population. Students answer the following focus question to set...

Students construct tangram pieces. Then they make observations and explore patterns with the pieces.

Students will design a scientific investigation. For this engineering design lesson, students will set up an investigation, collect data and form a conclusion about bridge design. They will use common household items to construct their...

Third graders create dichotomous keys using donuts. In this dichotomous lesson plan, 3rd graders review what a property is and sort donuts by a specific property. Donuts are kept in plastic baggies for the activity so they can be enjoyed...

Learners listen to the book Pumpkin, Pumpkin. They create words using the cluster ump.

Learners explore the differences between plants with seeds and seedless.  In this fruits and vegetables lesson students examine some vegetables and nuts that are really fruits.

Digging in volleyball refers to passing a hard hit, as in a spiked, ball. Since the ball is intended to be hit hard at the floor, positioning is important when attempting to dig it. The player needs to be low to the ground to dig a ball...

Tenth graders experiment with gravity and air pressure. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders build their own kits and fly it. They investigate the questions: what keeps a kite in the air and what are some important factors when flying a...

Young scholars investigate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. In this energy lesson students investigate the height a ball will bounce when dropped from various heights.

In this triangles and quadrilaterals worksheet, students solve 7 short answer problems. Students find objects around the house that are constructed from triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, squares, rectangles. Students sketch the...

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

In this project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

Generate different "nets" for paper construction of common three-dimensional shapes: cube, cuboid, pyramid, cone, tetrahedron, cylinder, octahedron, rhombic prism, dodecahedron, pentagonal prism, and pentagonal prism.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a review of solid figures, nets, and counting faces, nets and vertices in 3 dimensional figures. There is a 5 question Activote session at the end of the flipchart.

This two-part geometry lesson plan has students identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes. Students engage in hands-on activities including identifying shapes in the classroom, creating patterns with shapes, identifying...
