Pump Up the Volume
Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume lesson, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.
Curated OER
Plain Figures and Measuring Figures
Students investigate basic geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students explore solids through measuring and modeling. This assignment models the importance of understanding concrete objects in geometry.
Curated OER
Cones, Cylinders, Spheres
Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.
Curated OER
Spaced Out
The students are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.
Curated OER
Geometry
Students are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...
