Paint tools & geometric figures: This lesson is meant to teach or review for third grade students the use of Paint tools. These tools are generic to many multimedia tools such as HyperStudio and Kid Pix. For the student who is unfamiliar with "Paint," it provides another tool of expression and illustration.
This lesson is also designed to reinforce geometry math skills. This ability to illustrate a three dimensional object on a flat one dimensional surface is important to enable the student to visualize geometry math problems.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1–3 Computer/Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Barbara Waters.

Painted cylindrical sculptures: Students will experiment painting a variety of lines as directed in addition to inventing their own on 12" x 18" paper. Students will also glue pre-cut paper strips onto their sculptures experimenting with a variety of paper sculpture techniques such as bending, folding and curling.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 Visual Arts Education and Mathematics); By Rose Szabo.

Pattern block addition: Students will practice addition, problem solving, and writing equations in the context of a fun and challenging pattern game.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Dawn Potter.

Polyhedra: Faces, edges, and verticies (3-D marshmallow models): Students will review the names of 3 dimensional shapes, create the shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks, and find relationships among the faces, verticies, and edges of different 3-D polyhedra.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Julie Little.

Post-EOG activities: Student products: In this project, students will become entrepreneurs. They will have a business that makes items with 3-dimensional shapes. They will receive various tasks that will require that they make decisions as any other business owner would have to do.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Geneva Williams.

Postulates and proofs: Let's take it to the courtroom!: In this unit, the process of solving proofs is practiced using the comparison and framework of a courtroom setting. Students will work in groups to solve a proof and then defend it in a class courtroom setting.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–10 Mathematics); By Denise Absher.

Problem-centered lesson on the Pythagorean Theorem: This lesson is designed to help students give meaning to solving problems using the Pythagorean Theorem in a useful and meaningful situation.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Mathematics); By Brent Bustle.

Proof puzzles: Students will work in small groups to put geometric proofs that have been cut apart in the correct order. They will organize statements with the correct reason. A recorder in the group will write the finished product for the group to turn in to the teacher.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Mathematics); By ann mewborn.

Reflection designs: Students will be able to illustrate the geometric transformation of a reflection through creating their own unique designs.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 and 8 Mathematics); By Karen Boles.

The shape of stuff: This lesson will involve students identifying, describing, and making solid figures.; Format: lesson plan (grade K Mathematics); By Bettie Davis.

Solid graphing: The students will review solid figures using a baggie of assorted snack mix (cones, cubes, cylinders, and spheres) and will begin a vertical bar graph showing the number of each solid figure in a bag of assorted snack mix.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 Mathematics); By Lisa Fletcher.

Step right up!: The students will learn to name an ordered pair for a point and plot positions named by an ordered pair on a large grid located on the classroom floor.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 and 5 Mathematics); By Shelley Dodson.

The story of pi: In Critical thinking in science, page 3; In this lesson, students design an experiment to test the importance of decimal places by rounding the value of pi.

Super shape shifter: Students learn shapes and put them together to make other shapes.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 Mathematics); By Becky Woolard.

Tabletop grids: Students will play a review game in small groups using large grids to develop skill in locating and naming points on grid maps.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 and 5 Mathematics); By Monica Delanoy.

Talking geometry through quilts: This lesson plan is designed to use quilts as a visual prompt to review mathematics vocabulary associated with geometry in the third grade curriculum. A hands-on activity serves as a practice and review at the conclusion of this lesson.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Mathematics); By Rendy King.

Tangrams: While reading Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert, students will be using tangrams to create the animals that the fox fairies are turning themselves into in this story.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1–3 Mathematics); By Dawn Coleman.

Topographic maps: In Map skills and higher-order thinking, page 11; Topographic maps add a third dimension to latitude and longitude by showing natural (and cultural) features of the earth's surface -- in particular, elevation. Historically, mapmakers used a variety of methods to indicate elevation. To get a quick...; Format: activity/lesson plan; By David Walbert.

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.
