Students convert between the different metric units after reading the Fairy Tale of King Henry. They measure various candies in a baggy using the width of their index finger. They record results to the nearest index finger width on a...

Students explore the concept of Pi.  In this Pi lesson, students measure the circumference and diameter of a circle.  Students record the diameter and circumference measurements from their classmates.  Students enter the...

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and the angles formed when cut by a transversal. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct perpendicular lines and discuss midpoint, segments and perpendicular bisectors. They relate...

Students find the circumference and diameter of several circles and calculate the surface area of cylinders. In this surface area of a cylinder lesson plan, students use rectangles and lids to make several cylinders. They calculate the...

Bring out the inner artist with this Abraham Lincoln lesson plan. Elementary students work on a home project creating a hat similar to Abraham Lincoln's hat. They will use geometry and measurement to create the scale of the hat, then...

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and their special angles cut by a transversal. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify and find corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles formed when parallel lines...

Students transform polygons.  In this tessellating instructional activity, students design a picture containing a translation and a rotation.  They create a template of a translation or a rotation.  Students tessellate and...

In this inequality and measures of central tendency worksheet, students solve and graph linear inequalities. They organize given data to identify the mean, mode and range. Students interpret box-and-whisker plots. This three-page...

Tenth graders explore congruent triangles.  For this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate the conditions necessary to prove two triangles congruent.  The lesson combines dry erase board activities and the use of technology.

In this precalc lesson, students write out definitions, identify functions, solve integrals and derivatives and graph trig functions as they relate to angles. This is a final exam for precalculus. There are 80 questions on this exam.

In this naming angles worksheet, 10th graders solve 12 different problems by responding to each statement defining the angles shown in each box. They name a linear pair in 3 of the problems and name a pair of supplementary angles in 4...

Seventh graders create 3 original tessellation using polygons. They slide, turn, rotate and glide their designs on the computer. They print their tessellation on a T-shirt and teach the 6th graders about tessellations.

Eighth graders find the circumference and diameter of several lids, show the relationship of the two measurements and derive the formula for finding the area of a circle. In this area of a circle lesson plan, 8th graders find...

Learners construct and compare the actions of various pendulums. In this pendulum motion lesson, students build and test different types of pendulums. They conduct experiments with the length of the swing arm and apply mathematical...

Learners use the slope and y-intercept to graph lines. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and apply it to solving real life problems.

Eighth graders, using a range of data, produce three bar graphs for various scales along the y-axis.

Third graders explore the idea of formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis.

Learners identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Learners are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

Students investigate octagons using words and shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real...

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry instructional activity, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about...

Students produce original tessellations, using equilateral triangles where three unique symmetrical faces rotate, use shape, pattern/repetition, and color to create a striking composition, and create "beasties" inspired by bestiaries of...

Students explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Students review graphing and use processing skills to solve problems.
