Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

Third graders write a noun that names a place they spent their summer vacation, a verb telling one activity they did, and use those words to write a complete sentence. Finally, they use an ice cream cone graphic organizer as a guide to...

Students review vocabulary shape cards. They match oral words of shapes with flash cards then they make and label their own set of shape flash cards and then review with a classmate.

In this tessellation worksheet, 7th graders use patterns to draw tessellations for the given shapes and colors. Students solve five problems.

For this Pre-calculus worksheet, learners consider a scenes from The Wizard of Oz and The Simpsons refering to the Pythagorean Theorem. Students analyze the statement for errors and write about another mathematical formula...

Students will determine distances to nearby stars using parallax. In this Astronomy lesson plan, students will use a web program, trigonometry, and sketches to determine the distance of stars.

Students construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics lesson plan, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.

Learners do a collection of activities which deal with operations on integers and fractions.

Pupils add and subtract fractions and multiply and divide fractions using pattern blocks.

Students create a classroom story quilt based on a story (or series of stories) read as a group.

Seventh graders organize a 20 x 17 room with a given set of furniture pieces. Arrangement is to be based on maximum comfort and practicality. This lesson is a good way to teach and reinforce the mathematical concept of area.

Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.

Students expand their knowledge to not focus on stereotypes. They practice using new vocabulary words and analyze different media for the use of stereotypes.

Young scholars create a lap-sized quilt top using a French Braid method. Lesson is written with two time frame options and has step by step classroom instructions as well as suggested homework.

Students investigate the supposed traveling path of a meteorite. They use sound in order to triangulate the path. The results of the experiment are written on a map to display the path of the meteorite. The culminating activity is when...

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Students discover why recycling is important to Earth. They consider the multiple ways to recycle copy paper. Students transform scrap copy paper with printing on one side into practical classroom tools; an envelope and a drinking cup.

Students use translations, rotations, and reflections to create tessellations. They explore and construct several different types of tessellations including pure/semi-pure and non-regular polygon and "Escher-like" tessellations .

Students describe and identify a variety of major consequences and sequences of several major historical events and developments in American History. They research a given topic and assess how its ideas, concepts and traditions have...

In this before/after worksheet, students followed direction to color shapes that come either before or after others. A website reference for additional resources is provided.

In this measurement learning exercise, 4th graders complete word problems where they find different measurements of different shapes such as the weight of a table, the area of an iron sheet, and more. Students complete 15 problems.  

Students use magazines and other food pictures to arrange healthy meals onto construction paper.

High schoolers create a picture of an actual scene or overlap the called out lines or shapes into a space-breaker. If someone calls out a line or shape a student had not planned to use in the art, they have to figure out some way to use...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.
