Geometry students will be ecstatic about these engaging and enlightening end-of-the-year projects! Types of project ideas include interviewing a geometer, an ABCs of geometry poster, an engineering lab report, and origami work. 

Students investigate properties of circles. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

How can you help first graders be aware of the relationship between work and learning? By having them think of five jobs that use math, reading, and writing you will help them understand the need for an education. Each job will be...

Students explore integers through a review of basic knowledge and understanding of integers. They order integers on a number line and evaluate integer expressions with variables. Students order values from variable expressions on a...

Fourth graders identify bills and coins to $20 bills and make equivalencies. They organize bills and coins in groups from greatest to least and least to greatest. Students count out change.

Youngsters examine how to tell time to the nearest half-hour. They discuss why people wear watches, listen to the book "What Time Is It?" by Sheila Keenan, view examples on a model clock, and complete a worksheet with the teacher.

Young ratio masters calculate and cut a frame (out of poster board) to accurately create an even frame around a picture of themselves. The frame needs to be proportional to the picture with constraints determined by the instructor. 

Students calculate the radius of the earth. They use the method and data suggested by Eratosthenes. They investigate the interrelationships among mass, distance, force, and time through experimental processes.

Students receive a copy of a "Spaghetti Measure" task sheet along with the scoring rubric. Students preview the task and the rubric prior to starting the task. tudeThey determine the circumference of a circle of spaghetti that will...

Students examine a set of data based on a realtor's sales for a specific amount of time. Using this information, they calculate the mean, mode and median and how to skew the data to different points of view. They determine which...

Students investigate the concepts related to observing two dimensional objects. They also build three dimensional objects using the two dimensional objects. The students give an oral or written explanation for how the pieces fit together...

Young scholars convert recipes for tortillas. They calculate the amounts of ingredients as they convert recipes and write an explanation of the task to demonstrate their calculations. After reviewing their calculations, they demonstrate...

Students determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available and...

Fourth graders investigate the concept of fractions. A pizza is used as a metaphor and example of practice for students. They use the appropriate methods of dividing numbers from a whole and into the fractional parts. Then students...

Students examine the probability of the various findings in a game and determine the odds of winning. They differentiate between the facts of odds versus probability. Students use higher order thinking skills to explain how a problem is...

Students describe conic sections from an equation or graph. They examine a family of conics that share a vertex, describe their relationship and write an equation. Students interpret the relationship between conic sections and write...

Pupils investigate basic mathematical properties to solve multiplication and division problems. They solve word problems that are part of the lesson plan. Students are required to give written or oral justification for how they solve...

Students discover the formulas for calculating distance. In groups, they solve equations determine the distance in a specific amount of time. They record their answers in a chart or graph and compare them with their classmates.

Students determine the level of accuracy needed for computations involving measurements and irrational numbers. They use the correct number of digits in computation to achieve an appropriate unit or level of accuracy when solving...

Students interpolate, extrapolate, and make predictions from given information. They present results and conclusions from given data using basic statistics. Pupils create a survey from a critical question and decide which sampling...

Students analyze a drawing of a regular octagon inscribed in a circle to determine angle measures, using knowledge of properties of regular polygons and the sums of angles in various polygons to help solve the problem. They use...

Students participate in a Mini-Olympics with measurements. In this measurement lesson, students throw items and predict how far they will go. They measure the actual distance and find the difference between that and their estimate. 

Sixth graders practice creating and solving number sentences on a calculator. They interact with number facts, their properties, algorithms and estimation. Each student recognizes inverse relationships of addition, subtraction,...

Physics learners apply the concepts of fluid pressure input and output to firefighting. Divide your class into small groups and give them each a few cards that list nozzle type, hose length, hose size, and structure dimensions, They are...
