Geometry and Spatial Relations: Mirror, Mirror
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

Geometry and Spatial Relations: Sidewalk Capers
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

The Missing Link
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

Patterns and Relationships: Peddling Petals
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

Number Sense and Computation: Soak It Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

Dogs and More Dogs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play an evolution card game to see how selective pressures can affect an organism's evolution.

Blazing the Trail
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

Chances Are: OH NO! Look Out Below for a UFO
Source Institutions
In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

Chances Are: It's a Mystery to Me
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners extend their understanding of basic probability concepts as they learn to name all of the possible outcomes of an event as well as ways to express the likelihood of such

Number Sense and Computation: An Apple a Day
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.

Probability: Chances Are
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners identify the likelihood of an event by using a walk-on probability scale.

Number Sense and Computation: Food For Thought
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners identify and compare unit costs of given items. Learners use computation skills, problem solving and number sense to find the cost of an ounce of cereal.

Mix It Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

Measurement: Bubble Mania
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners practice measurement skills as they examine a soap bubble print. Learners follow a recipe to make a soap bubble solution.

Patterns and Relationships: Struts 'n Stuff
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners identify the relationship between the number of sides in a regular polygon and the number of struts needed to make each polygon rigid.

Measurement: It Takes Ten
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

Looking Through the Algebraic Lens
Source Institutions
In this two-part math lesson, learners investigate problems that foster algebraic thinking across content strands. In the first part, learners explore even and odd numbers linked to quilts.

Number Sense and Computation: To Half or Half Not
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.

Tree-mendous Plots
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

Statistics: Whirlybirds
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.
