A hula hoop is like a racetrack: Calculating the circumference, radius, and area of a circle: In On track learning: Safety through technology and design, page 10; In this lesson, students will use hoops of different sizes to explore geometry concepts such as circumference, area, and radius. They will also use indirect measurement and calculate percent of error.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7–10 Mathematics); By Roxanne Moses.

Hula hoop sorting: Students will use two large hula hoops to form a Venn Diagram. Then, using various colored paper shapes, they will recognize, and identify circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, trapezoids, and parallelograms.; Format: lesson plan (grade K Mathematics); By Diane Jackson.

Human coordinate graph: Students will actively learn how to plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They will also learn how to connect ordered pairs to graph a picture.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3–5 Mathematics); By Cheryl Sexton.

Inside, outside, and all around: Students will distinguish between perimeter, area, and volume. They will use tangrams and graph paper to create two-dimensional figures that will be measured for area and perimeter. By creating layers of centimeter cubes, the students will explore the concept of volume.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4–6 Mathematics); By Angeli Jarman.

Investigating surface area: This is a hands on lesson best used to introduce geometry students to 3-dimensional figures. Students will have the opportunity to draw 3-dimensionally and create collapsible figures which can be used to develop the standard surface area formulas.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 Mathematics); By Jennifer Bronzini.

Is it open or closed?: Students will identify and create open and closed figures using labeled cards and pipe cleaners.; Format: lesson plan (grade K Mathematics); By Vickie Fender.

A mathematical model to describe fluid behavior: Middle school students will learn how to use math to model and predict natural phenomena. Through hands-on labs, students will explore the behavior and effects of fluid in and around objects and organisms. Students will investigate and create fluid transport systems and gather data to calculate natural frequencies. Using scale models to gain a better understanding, they will use data to predict real-life effects on trees and other structures.; Format: lesson plan (multiple pages)

Mirror, mirror on the ground!: In this lesson, students will use their knowledge of similar triangles and indirect measurement to measure the heights of various objects.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7–8 Mathematics); By Denise Corbett.

Monster symmetry: Students will make a "monster" through symmetry using white paper, pencils, and scissors. This activity will help students visualize how to identify objects that can be divided symmetrically.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Mary Allen.

MyPyramid: Eat a variety of foods: In Food for thought: Elementary lessons on nutrition and healthy living, page 1.1; Foods and their packaging come in many different shapes. In this kindergarten lesson plan from the Food for Thought nutrition curriculum, students learn about the food groups found in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid and look for foods, packaging, and cooking utensils shaped like squares and rectangles.; Format: lesson plan (grade K Healthful Living and Mathematics)

Noodles away: This lesson will assist students to see angle relationships and the relationship of parallel lines and transversals. This exercise is good for visual and tactile learners since it is of a concrete nature. Students of all academic levels can enjoy this.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 and 7–8 Mathematics); By Melda Bullock.
