Building a paper bridge: An introduction to problem solving: This activity allows the student to explore problem solving strategies while working with a partner. This activity (building a paper bridge), requires students to question word definition and the application of those definitions. Through problem solving strategies, students discover the need for applying math skills.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Steve Walston.

An "Eggs"traordinary Sculpture: This lesson uses a sculpture located at the North Carolina Zoological Park as the springboard for an inquiry involving eggs and egg-layers. Several measurements and calculations are incorporated. A visit to the NC Zoological Park is preferred.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, Computer Technology Skills, and Mathematics); By Eddie Hamblin.

Fun with Angles: This lesson plan will help the students visualize the different angles (corresponding, alternate interior, and same-side interior) when coplanar lines are cut by a transversal.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7–8 Mathematics); By Teachers Connect.

Translations, Reflections, Rotations: This lesson will allow students to explore translations, reflections, and rotations using a resource of Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. Permission has been granted for the use of the materials as part of the workshop Interactivate Your Math Students. Students explore the world of translations, reflections, and rotations in the Cartesian coordinate system by transforming squares, triangles and parallelograms. Parameters: Shape, x or y translation, x or y reflection, angle of rotation. (Italics are a direct quote from Shodor.org.); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Deborah Bourne.

"We the People": Students will gain a better understanding of the U.S. Constitution by exploring the language of the Constitution.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Arts, Social Studies, Computer Technology Skills, and Mathematics); By Teachers Connect.

Blue squares and beyond: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students manipulate two rectangles to create examples of similarity and to study the effects on area ratios.

Polygon capture: A geometry game: In this lesson, from Illuminations, students classify polygons according to more than one property at a time. They move from a simple description of shapes to an analysis of how properties are related, all in the context of an enjoyable game.
