Students classify objects that magnets are attracted to and aren't attracted to. They also magnetize metal. They construct and use a compass. They develop a product which show they explain the properties of magnetism.

Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Fifth graders make the connections using models between multiplying a fraction times a whole number and multiplying a fraction times a fraction. After completing three teacher-led activities, pupils access a website on their own to play...

Upper graders investigate how to find the surface area when using two-dimensional shapes. They conduct an investigation in groups while working sample problems given during class discussion with the teacher. They also review how to...

Seventh graders investigate how organisms respond to environmental stimuli through their behavior. They observe how plants and animals respond to varying amounts of light, water and gravity.

Students conduct an experiment to show that air is all around us and that wind is the movement of air. They construct a weather vane to determine which direction the wind is blowing.

Eighth graders explain the difference between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. They identify the stages in the rock cycle. They discover the origin of rocks as well.

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. In this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...

Students create friendship bracelets and quilt squares. In this plant lesson plan student dye their own string and cotton material with plant pigments. Students use the naturally dyed materials to create the friendship bracelets and...

Sixth graders analyze expressions and equations. In this algebra lesson, 6th graders write algebraic sentences and solve for an unknown in a one-step equation. This lesson uses the formulas for the perimeter of a square and rectangle as...

Learners use construction technology to identify and find relationships between the attributes of various quadrilaterals. They make and test conjectures about the distinguishing properties of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses,...

Students investigate the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing angles and sides of a right triangle. They label the hypotenuse and legs of a right triangle correctly.

Seventh graders relate the Pythagorean theorem to the real world. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders identify important properties of the Pythagorean theorem and use it to solve word problems. They create a step by step plan to...

In this quadrilaterals worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include the quadrilateral family and properties. First, they determine the area of a rectangle given the perimeter and length. Then, students determine the...

Young scholars investigate triangles and their relationship to each other. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. They differentiate between right, acute, straight...

Discuss the properties of 2D and 3D shapes in order to help learners understand the concept. Learners will participate in an interactive whiteboard lesson to develop understanding of 2D and 3D shapes.

Second graders explore shapes. After reading books about shapes, 2nd graders describe the properties of various shapes. They identify shapes if they have been rotated, flipped, or slid. Students create shapes using drawings and geoboards.

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

Students recognize lines and corners as properties of geometric figures and identify shapes based on these characteristics. They move through a variety of stations practicing tossing, throwing, tallying and recording combinations of shapes.

Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals (square,...

Students apply properties of Pythagorean to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different parts of a right triangle using ratios. they solve problems using squares and square roots.

Students explore the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this Pythagorean Theorem activity, students derive the distance formula and slope of a line from the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students identify the properties of quadrilaterals. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the history of quadrilaterals and different types of quadrilaterals. They identify the length and mid-segment of each shape.
