Fourth graders explore how to find the area of a rectangular object. As a class, they discuss definition of area and strategies for finding area. The teacher models finding the area of an object by counting squares. Students observe...

Students complete a set of CD-ROM's to introduce them to the flight program at NASA. In groups, they research a topic related to flight and put their information on a CD-ROM. To end the lesson plan, they share their material with other...

In this math worksheet, learners find the length of the side of a regular hexagon whose area is numerically equal to its perimeter.

In this chemical compounds worksheet, students draw the Lewis structure and "cloud" structures for given compounds. Then students match the Lewis structure with the correct cloud diagrams. This worksheet has 2 problems to solve.

Students explore the concept of finding area. For this finding area lesson, students use knowledge of area of triangles to find area of squares and rectangles. Students find area of irregular figures by breaking the figure down into...

Sixth graders identify and replicate two dimensional illustrations of three dimensional objects. In this spatial visualization lesson, 6th graders practice viewing objects from various sides. Student participate in stations to view...

Learners examine how riding a bike can impact the environment and cut down on carbon emissions.  In this environmental lesson students design a bike rack that is made from recycled material.

Students identify geometric solids. For this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to the teacher read Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes  by Stuart J. Murphy. Students then visit a web site where they identify types of...

Every learner can be an artist with a series of activities designed to access their creativity. With reference links and instructional ideas, this art resource is sure to enrich your class and bring new ideas to even your most reluctant...

Learners, just like Eratosthenes, try to use math to calculate immeasurable objects. Teachers need to try out the calculations before having your class do them. They should take notes to be included with their own calculations and drawings.

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

Fourth graders, using a straight edge, determine whether a point is inside or outside of a given figure. With worksheets, 4th graders practice analyzing geometric relationships such as parallel to, perpendicular to, etc.

Fifth graders design their own house, while also using problem-solving skills involving perimeter and area. They exchange houses with a partner and find the perimeter and area of the window, doors, and front side of the house.

Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Pupils discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Fifth graders plot out points on grid paper which correspond with the ordered pairs they are given. If done correctly, the points form a word.

Third graders explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences and share their observations with others. They classify shapes by discussing sides and angles and combine pieces to make new shapes.

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Tenth graders are introduced to the cell and some of its parts. Through the use of video, 10th graders see animal and plants cells and their parts. They learn terms used to explain the cell.

Students practice the Request-Response-Result problem solving technique. They explore how and when it should be used.

Students investigate the use of multiplication and division of whole numbers to solve problems including equivalent ratios and rates.

Students view and discuss a video about the use of pattern block shapes to form pictures. They, in groups, form garden and quilt designs using pattern blocks and then decorate the room with their art.

Students explore the methods of creating maps. They create a map of Animas River Park using a compass and measuring tape, develop a single map from the team map sections, and devise another map of the Animas River Park using a GPS unit.

Fifth graders use area to calculate the cost for new flooring. They find the area of a square or rectangle. Calculating Area problems and worksheet are attached.
