Water, water everywhere...: This is a good beginning of the year lesson to review fractions, decimals, geometry (the number of degrees in a circle and drawing a circle with a protractor), graphing, and metric measurement. This lesson is a good way for students to meet their peers while working cooperatively in a task-oriented group. The watermelon you will be using for the activity is also a good start-of-the-year treat. Be sure to get an extra watermelon or two to share at the end of the activity.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Jayne Brown.

A walk through the solar system: A practice in scientific notation, measurement, and scale distances, this lesson plan integrates mathematics into the science curriculum.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics and Science); By RhondaS Dausman.

Phi: The divine proportion: In CareerStart lessons: Grade six, page 2.5; The "divine ratio" is valued by designers, artists, and architects because of its interesting and and unique properties. In this lesson for grade six, students learn about this ratio and use it to create a work of art.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Kim Abrams, Mike McDowell, and Barbara Strange.

Newspaper basket: Students use measurement skills to create a basket and respond to questions involving fractions, decimals, and geometric measurements.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Susan Jennings.

Discovering perimeters: By using string, students will discover a formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–12 Mathematics); By Jenny Crumpler.

Understanding congruence, similarity, and symmetry using transformations and interactive figures: Visualizing transformations: The interactive figures in this four-part example allow a user to manipulate a shape and observe its behavior under a particular transformation or composition of transformations.
