Capitalism, socialism, communism ... these may seem like a whole bunch of isms to your scholars. High schoolers won't  confuse them after completing an informative resource. Your class masters how to use primary sources to...

Ninth graders practice recognizing similarities and differences found in the graphing of inequalities and equations. Once observatioons are made they solve some of their own applying prior knowledge.

Seventh graders investigate the concepts related to the geometry of treehouses that focuses on angles that are similar and congruent. They conduct class discussion in terms of looking at three dimensional shapes that are represented in...

Young scholars develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. In this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving...

In this ratio measures worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 8 different types of problems. First, they find the largest angle of a hexagon. Then, students solve the proportions shown. They also name the similar figures by filling...

Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...

Students use web applet to create congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar. They create shapes online and drag those shapes around to create visuals of triangles.

Properties about triangles are explored in this instructional activity. Geometers make conjectures about the length of a triangle's sides, the length of the angles in relation to the length of the sides, and the measure of the exterior...

High schoolers discover properties of parallelograms as they construct a parallelogram using Cabri Jr. They will measure angles and side lengths of their construction and determine the relationship between the diagonals of a...

Students simulate an Independent Counsel to represent the Spanish and the Aztecs to formulate a policy for the Roman Catholic Church in 1527. They conduct research, graph the similarities and differences, create a poster, and write a...

Learn how to calculate the length and midsegments of triangles. Students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They create a spreadsheet with their findings.

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

Students create a book report using a cereal box. In this book report lesson plan, students cover the outer parts of a cereal box representing a book they red. They create an original cover on one side, and use the other sides to report...
