Students explore the shapes all around them. In this early childhood lesson plan, students use their creative thinking skills to compare shapes to the form ob objects in their classroom.

Students explore geometry by utilizing computer software. In this shape identification activity, students define several geometric shapes by the characteristics that classify them. Students draw and cut out geometric shapes using their...

Historically, scientists had to be creative to study subatomic structure. Scholars step into their minds to recreate the procedure Rutherford used to create his atomic model. Learners identify the creative efforts of early scientists...

Students discover that the possibilities are limitless in this block-building activity. In this early childhood, problem solving lesson, students develop social, problem-solving, math, and language skills using a specific number of...

Third graders study the three states of matter and identify the physical changes that take place between them. There is an initial teacher-led demonstration followed by a meaningful whole-class inquiry. These two activities should lead...

Math scholars study conics and how they are used today. In this mathematical instructional activity, pupils construct and slice cones after viewing a demonstration. 

Tenth graders connect the history of geometry to problem solving. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders investigate polygons through hands on manipulatives and solve problems relating to parallelograms and triangles. They calculate...

Students create lines and shapes with a compass and a straight edge. For this geometry lesson, students investigate square roots, irrational numbers and spirals. They explore nature to see the shapes representing mathematics and...

Ninth graders produce a projected, pinhole image of the sun and from measurement of the image and projection distance, calculate the actual size of the sun. They estimate the sun's apparent brightness from different planet.
