Curated OER
Geometric Glossary
Fourth graders use drawing and paint tools to identify, draw and state several geometric terms.
Curated OER
You Can Count on Squares!
Fourth graders engage in and explore to develop mathematical, specifically algebraic, ideas. Although the tasks are built around measurement, they are algebraic to the extent that they require 'formulae' to be derived form the geometric...
Curated OER
How Hot Is It?
Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Geo Jammin' - Day 4, Lesson 13: Where, Oh Where, Can the Geo Be?
Students listen to a story "My Crazy Dream" with an intent to identify shapes in ordinary objects. They raise their hands when they've heard an object whose shape they can identify. They discuss their findings.
Curated OER
This is to That
Students look at ratio, what it means for numbers or objects to be in a given ratio, and how ratios and fractions are related. They write and solve story problems which involve whole numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication,...
Curated OER
Count the Squares and Compare
Fourth graders construct squares and rectanges in order to help them find areas and perimeters. They gain an understanding of area and perimeter through teacher modeling and then they construct squares and rectangles.
Curated OER
Watch It Slide!
Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.
Curated OER
Space Shapes
Learners read "Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes" by Stuart Murphy and view a PowerPoint presentation on shapes. They identify shapes presented in the book and then identify shapes found in their classroom.
Curated OER
Calculating Area
In this area worksheet, students calculate the area of shaded figures shown on grids. A reference web site is given for additional activities
Curated OER
Magic Mountain Coaster Computation
Students use the Internet to do research on the roller coasters at Magic Mountain Amusement Park. They must use mathematical formulas to calculate the highest and fastest coaster at the park.
Curated OER
Make a Garden
Fourth graders determine the area of a given garden plot. They determine the area of smaller portions of the garden. They determine how many gardens they can make of a given area. They complete the activity using computer software.
Curated OER
Calculate It
Fourth graders find the area and perimeters of squares and rectangles using a calculator to check their multiplication. They use the appropriate formulas to find the area and perimeter of the given geometric shapes.
Curated OER
Measuring Angles
Identifying and measuring angles with a protractor can provide a fun way for students to learn this mathematical concept.
Curated OER

The Common Core is intended to help all children meet high academic standards. Here is a Common Core designed lesson that is intended for learners with communication or language difficulties. The lesson is written in a narrative style...
Curated OER
Tomb Explorer/Temple Explorer
Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.
Curated OER
Egyptians as Engineers
Student design and build Lego vehicles that drag given amount of weight up an incline. They show how this demonstrates Egyptian methods of pyramid construction.
