Curated OER
Slope Right Up
Learners use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.
Curated OER
Fractals
Pupils explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson plan, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Pupils develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

Geo Jammin By Design: Coordinated
Young scholars watch the teacher draw on the chalkboard and try to determine the form being drawn. They use questions to determine Quadrant #1 of a coordinate plane.
Curated OER
Building Paper Bridges
Learners construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.
Curated OER
Odd Thing Out
Students listen to the math problem provided and work in groups to solve. They think about the objects and write down their information in a table. Class construct the table on a large piece of paper that can be put on the wall after the...

Similar or Not?
Fifth graders define the meaning of similar and congruent using concrete objects. They make similar and congruent figures using geoboards. They draw their figures on dot paper, and color their designs.
