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 research the history of measurement in this lesson. They compare todays units of measurement to historical units of measurement. For example, they weigh themselves on a bathroom scale and figure out how many of them it would...

Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

For this spatial relations worksheet, students solve three-dimensional problems. They find the total number of triangles in a given figure, the number of line segments that endpoints and use integer points to solve two problems. This...

In this spatial relations worksheet, students identify the number of triangles in a given figure, identify the number of cubes that a plane intersects, and determine the number of line segments in a given cube. This three-page worksheet...

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

In this physical world instructional activity, students review concepts relating to the chemical and physical properties of matter, density of matter, and if matter is a solid, liquid, or gas. This instructional activity has 9 terms in a...

Students examine a Webmath page, and demonstrate how to copy and paste. They create a computer-generated template page presenting the attributes of two- and three- dimensional shapes.

Learners study the process of evaporation.

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson plan, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Students practice representing problems found in the real world in terms that can be translated into mathematical expressions. The situations are represented in tables and graphs by students.

Pupils, in groups, use song lyrics and math to descrie two and three dimensional shapes.

Explore the volume of solid figures.

Given a problem involving composite figures made from prisms, pyramids, spheres, cones, and/or cylinders, the student will find the surface area and volume of the composite figure.

This resource has three sets of problems. Each set has six questions for finding volumes of solid figures. Select a problem set, then select a question. Fill in the blank with the correct answer for each problem. When you have answered...

The geometry resource investigates the volume of pyramids and cones. Formulas, examples, and practice exercises are included.

The geometry resource investigates the volume of prisms and cylinders. Formulas, examples, and practice exercises are included.
