Middle and high schoolers participate in a seven-part lesson creating Escher-Esque tessellations. They demonstrate their knowledge of geometric transformations after viewing a PowerPoint presentation, conducting Internet research, and...

Learners explore "area."  For this tangram geometry and measurement lesson, students arrange tangram pieces to find the area of characters presented in a story they listen to on a website.  Website information and related...

Multiplying with multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 provides an opportunity to discuss patterns that arise with zeros. The class uses these patterns to solve problems. Then they rotate through three work stations, including a computer-based...

Budding mathematicians investigate how to write number sentences using the Roll-the-Dice tool in "Kid Pix". They correlate the dots on the dice to numbers and then learn to use the addition and equal symbols to write number sentences....

Students explore multiplication concepts.  In this multiplication lesson plan, students define "array" and draw several arrays to represent multiplication number sentences.  Students construct arrays on the computer using...

First graders create symmetrical designs using a computer program.  For this lines of symmetry lesson, 1st graders review their symmetrical designs and discuss other ways symmetrical designs can be made.  Students work in pairs...

Sixth graders calculate perimeter of rectangles with different dimensions.  In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders define length, width and perimeter.  Students complete a perimeter activity using a web tool to change the...

Fifth graders use place value clues to find a given number. In this place value lesson, 5th graders work with the MathKeys program using place value clues and base-ten blocks to build a number and determine its value.

Young scholars investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Students in a computer class use their student identification number and password to log into their computers. Using Microsoft Word, they complete an autobiographical worksheet/template and save the information on their own personal...
