Students observe how bird flight and machine flight are similar. In this aerodynamics lesson, students observe how birds fly and the shapes of their wings, and investigate how observing birds helped develop the concept of machine flight....

Tenth graders discuss the history of geometry as it relates to pentagons. In this geometry activity, 10th graders solve problems of a pentagon inscribed inside of a circle using ratio. They review other properties for shapes of polygons...

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

Tenth graders solve for the perimeter and rewrite word problems. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders label different shapes and set up the corresponding ratios as equations. They solve for the missing side and calculate the values for...

Students calculate the perimeter of different shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students set up the relationship of the perimeter using equations. They set up the proper ratio and solve using the distributive property....

Tenth graders perform reflections on different geometric shapes. In this geometry worksheet,students define the concept of geometric reflections and find the coordinates of the reflection on a coordinate grid.

Students calculate the area of solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students use formulas to find the surface are and the volume of solids. They investigate 3-dimensional shapes.

Students study quilts. In this history/geometry quilt lesson, students discover the history behind quilt making and get a chance to make quilt blocks of their own. They work independently to make a quilt block out of construction paper...

First graders read the Poem "The Elephant" by Shel Silverstein and create a descriptive web in the shape of an animal. In this cross curricular music lesson, 1st graders recite a poem with rhythm, then listen to the song "The...

In this story starter worksheet, students read the prompt written inside each gingerbread man shape and complete the story. Each starter is printed on a separate page; all are holiday or winter related.

This geometry PowerPoint engages students in a Jeopardy game that reviews geometry concepts. In this PowerPoint, students review concepts such as angles, shapes and triangles and solve the question for the most points.

Students perform transformation on their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the correct transformation of each shape. They move the polygons around on a coordinate plane. There are extension and homework activities...

Students create their dream house using a spreadsheet for measurements. For this measurements and drawings lesson, students apply concepts of units and conversions as they build and create different shapes. They use Google Sketch-up...

Twelfth graders examine multiple aspects of statistics. In this mathematical reasoning lesson, 12th graders solve problems on probability, logarithms, exponential relationships and transforming rectilinear shapes. This resource contains...

Students recite a poem that aids in coin recognition. They memorize a poem that helps them identify the shape and worth of a penny, nickel, dime and quarter.

Symmetry is a term found in art, math, and science, prep your students to encounter symmetry from any angle. This presentation provides several simple examples of shapes that do and do not have a line of symmetry.

Your learners will be tantalized by this inquiry-based, collaborative activity as they discover how to write an equation that represents the height of an ice cream cone. Given the scenario based on the poem, "Eighteen Flavors," and...

NOT A LESSON Students

Students compare and contrast the volcanoes of Earth and Mars, and examine specific volcanoes on Mars. They model the processes that create cone and shield volcanoes, and measure the slope angles of cone and shield volcanoes.

Students examine various "spaces" (including ones that are one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional). For each space, they will examine what it means to have or not have an edge, or to be finite or infinite.

In this plane figures worksheet, learners answer questions about the plane figures and their sides and corners. Students draw pictures to help them answer the six problems.

Fifth graders practice the skills of finding the perimeter and area of different objects. They integrate technology tools by using a computer software program during the class as the second half of an assessment of measuring student...
