Curated OER
Perimeters, Patterns, and Conjectures
Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...
Curated OER
The Facts on Nuclear Power
Students browse a Web site to gather information about nuclear power. They explain how nuclear power is generated and used.

Interning Japanese Canadians
Students create a time line of the Japanese Canadian internment of World War II to the apology of the government in 1997. In this World War II lesson plan, students identify historical events in sequence.
Curated OER
Count on Me
Fourth graders use inductive reasoning to find algebraic patterns in geometric figures. They use technology (i.e., calculators, computers) and manipulatives to discover number patterns involving geometric concepts. They solve concrete...
Curated OER
Fill and Wrap It Up
Students find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume...
Curated OER
Twists and Turns
Young scholars reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric...
Curated OER
Reciprocal Reading
Students practice their reading comprehension skills by making their own bookmark about the books they have read.
Curated OER
The Young One
Students explore the challenges faced by a woman in the male-dominated music business. They consider all information from a film or television production carefully, and come to personal conclusions based on all available evidence
Curated OER
THE MEAN INDEX CARD
Learners cut an index card to create three similar right triangles and explore the congruencies and proportions that exist. They investigate the properties of lines and concepts of congruency, similarity, tangency and symmetry of...
