Curated OER
Make a Box
Students use specific dimensions to create a box. In this geometry instructional activity, students analyze the different properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They make conjectures and use it to solve problems.
Curated OER
Identifying Lines of Symmetry
Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.
Curated OER
Teaching the Tr'panier Trapezoid Kite
Students analyze how the parts of a system go together and how these parts depend on each other. They comprehend the forces in terms of strength and direction. Students observe, measure and describe weather indicators.
Curated OER
Slides, Flips and Turns
Third graders are introduced to different types of transformations. As a class, they describe how a stuffed animal slides across the floor and use themselves to demonstrate as well. Individually, they flip and turn in different...
Curated OER
Geometry, Word Search Puzzle
In this math instructional activity, students look for the words that are related to the math words used in the practice of geometry. They also practice spelling.
