Curated OER
Lots of Squares
Learners work in pairs, to make a square on the geoboards with a rubber band (or draw one on the dot paper). It can be any size and in any location and share their answers with the class.
Curated OER
More No-Three-In-A-Line
Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it.
After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups.
They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.
Curated OER
Geometry, Word Search Puzzle
In this math worksheet, middle schoolers look for the words that are related to the math words used in the practice of geometry. They also practice spelling.
Curated OER
Fitness
Fourth graders determine how to design regular and semi-regular tessellations of the plane. They develop the ability to demonstrate why a tessellation covers the plane in this series of lessons.
Curated OER
Strawberry Milk
Students work in groups or alone to solve the problem. They use a systematic approach to get all possible answers. They report back to the class with solutions. They may extend their studying using a crate with room for 9 bottles.
Curated OER
Noughts
Students try to figure out the strategies to the game Noughts. Students logic must play a part in the process of the game. Students apply the symmetries of regular polygons. Students devise ways to critically follow a chain of reasoning.
Curated OER
Standard Conic Section
In this precalculus worksheet, students put the equations in standard form and solve the problems focusing upon finding the conic sections for the two questions.
