Curated OER
Visual Patterns in Tessellations
Learners explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Learners examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.
Curated OER
Translations, Reflections, and Rotations
High schoolers are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three...
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...

Spice Up the Basal
Fifth graders study English reading and writing skills as they participate in exciting interdisciplinary hands-on activities using a basal reading series.
Curated OER
Pattern Using Unit Cells
Students explore the pattern of the unit cell. In this science lesson, students color the unit cells on a worksheet and create a pattern using unit cells.
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...
