Learners take photos of spaces that imply the figure. (Students could also pull images from magazines from the web if they do not have access to a camera.) Using the photograph as a source, make a drawing as you usually would with black...

Pupils calculate the surface area of rectangular prisms, cylinders, and square pyramids. In this surface area lesson, the teacher demonstrates how to find the surface area of these figures and provides students with a formula chart. The...

Students draw a net (a two-dimensional pattern that can be formed to make a solid) for making an open top box on grid paper. They cut out the net and fold up each side to form the open box and tape the sides, then find the volume of the...

Students use the graph and equation of a perimeter function to find characteristics that minimizes the perimeter of a rectangle. They comprehend that in business situations, such as packaging and city planning, minimizing perimeter is an...

Students explore similar figures. In this surface area and volume lesson, students identify the relationship between the surface area and volume of similar figures.

In this counting principle worksheet, students examine, analyze and determine how to solve a variety of word problems with the counting principle. Students find out the total number of combinations that exist.

Sixth graders determine how to find the volume of a box. In this volume instructional activity, 6th graders participate in a instructional activity in which the teacher uses the associated study guide to explain how to find the volume of...

Young scholars investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. For this algebra lesson, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know and...

Students calculate the different ratios using a right triangle. In this trigonometry activity, students identify the sine, cosine and tangent of each side. They find the missing angles using the different ratios.

Students employ art as a means of communication. The meaning of the communication comes out in the design of a unique room that is 3 dimensional. The use of the imagination is encouraged as well as visualization skills.

Sixth graders fill out worksheets to find the perimeter and area of rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson plan, 6th graders color in the area and measure the perimeters.

Pupils create a scale drawing of their own homes. They use geometric formulas to find the area of each room and the total area of the home.

Students are responsible for creating a border around a triangular garden spot, of which they know the measurements for two sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the third side and complete the garden.

Students design their dream gardens and work together to build a class model. They use software to create a virtual model. They only use metric measurements.

Fourth graders find the volume of cubes and cylinders. To determine volume, they fill large cubes with centimeter cubes. They discuss the formula used to find the volume of a cube. Students explore why the solution to the volume of a...

Students investigate squares. They generate patterns from structured situations and find a rule for the general term and express it using words and symbols. Students generate patterns from a rule and substitute values and formulas.

Students pretend they are taking trip to tropical rainforest of South America, and design and build luggage that fits within standard size requirements for most airlines. After researching requirements, design and build pieces of soft...

Twelfth graders compare and contrast variables and arrays. Using data, they enter the information into a spreadsheet and an array to compare how they appear. To end the lesson, they complete basic programs in which they use arrays.

Accompanying the lesson at www.shodor.org, this worksheet present learners with a series of questions about the volume and surface area of a rectangular prism and a triangular prism. Students predict how these values would change if the...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. For this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of a right triangle. They find the missing side and angles of a right triangle.

Young scholars measure the area using feet and yard. In this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

Students relate math to different areas of construction. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the relationship between shapes and the way math is used in architecture. They investigate properties of the Parthenon as it relates...

Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry instructional activity, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. In this geometry lesson, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.
