Curated OER
Math/Quilt Connection
Students explore quilting. In this math patterns lesson, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.
Curated OER
Structural Comparisons
Learners study structural elements of a picture's composition. They scan images and compare the structural elements of the images.
Curated OER
Figure This
Second graders identify congruent figures and match shapes using transformation. They work in groups, utilizing a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice identifying congruent shapes.
Curated OER
Tantalizing Tangrams
Fourth graders participate in what is considered to be a model lesson. The lesson focuses upon polygons and basic geometry. The lesson addresses national standards and displays how others should be done.
Curated OER
Dilations of 2 and 3 dimentional figures and their effect on area, surface area, and volume.
Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their results.
