Perfect math center, small group or partner activity to reinforce polygon skills! Have students scan the QR Code at the top to link to a video retelling of Marilyn Burns "The Greedy Triangle." This a You Tube link that has been filtered using www.viewpure.com. So there are no ads to distract your kiddos. After a mini-lesson on polygons, have them work with a partner to complete the chart. Extension: Have them hunt around the classroom or at home for find interesting polygons. This would make a g
Have your students showcase their knowledge of geometry in this fun project! Students are required to use the rubric to design their own city map, using shapes and lines in their city. Requirements are color coded for easy assessment. Students self check requirements before teacher grades. My students had a BLAST doing this!
This math challenge requires students to design a new business district for a downtown city. As they add dimensions to their businesses, they must calculate the area of each business and stay under a specified budget. They then must write a letter to the mayor of their city defending their business plan!
Note: This is specific for Hagerstown, MD, but please feel free to modify it for your town!
MATHS/GEOGRAPHY/ART/TRIVIA This workshop is designed to start the learning process of Longitude and Latitude. Notorious art thief Waldo has escaped from prison leaving the whereabouts of his most famous heist - The Salvator Mundi - a mystery. But he's sneaky, leaving mathematical clues to his whereabouts everywhere he goes. Your students will need to solve the clues using their mathematical prowess in; - Area - Coding (Caesar Shift) - Early algebra - Pascale's Pyramid, and - Time zone calculati
Students not only study physical science, they design with it, build with it, they write about it, calculate with it, and they live it.
It’s the engineering process in miniature as our engineering teams design and then build desktop ziplines from scratch. Students will draft plans, build zipline towers, choose the best zippy materials, and assemble their ziplines. Hey, it’s incredible fun . . . but it’s not just fun and games here! Students will use their ziplines to collaborate on a physica
Tops are the tops! Let’s make our own and experiment!
Who would have thought we could blend so much science, engineering, and math into this simple little toy?
You’ve probably seen those valentines where you can punch out a circle and insert a pencil to make a top. Those are hugely disappointing. These tops, however, are COOL!
Anytime we do something cool in the classroom, we want to sneak in plenty of content with it, right? Such is the case here, and you’ll find Common Core State Standa
Students will use their knowledge of square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, and trapezoid to identify and evaluate the attributes of each figure. The worksheet provides the quadrilateral, asks students to identify and then describe its features.
This assesses students knowledge of 2D Geometry (parallel llines, rays, angles, etc.). It is a 12 question quiz, which asks students to illustrate and define each term.
Another Friday Math lesson for hands-on learning across several Common Core Standards . . . at least 22 standards from 2nd to 6th grade: multiplication, division, decimals, area, geometry arrays, expressing ratios, public speaking and listening, and more!
In this lesson, students apply math skills to determine the number of pennies required to tile a kitchen floor. They’ll make strong hands-on, visual-mathematic connections for area and multiplication as they tackle this real-life DYI dilem
Try this FREE Joyful Learner routine out in your classroom... Great for any class K-5! Give students and opportunity to work with attributes, construct something new, use geometric and spatial reasoning, and justify their choices. All you will need for this lesson is a printer to print the worksheets and the book 'Not a Box' by Antoinette Portis (read aloud on Youtube for free if needed). Free lesson plan and all differentiated resources included. Have fun creating and make sure to check out mo
This google slides assignment is completely editable! 3rd Grade Geometry terms & Frayer Model strategy intertwined into rigorous learning! This leads students into a deeper understanding of geometric concepts. I usually use this as an extension for higher level/gifted learners. Students can add text boxes to each of the models to represent their learning. I typically put chart paper up on my Smartboard and model this for students in the first few slides. Closely aligned to Virginia SOL stand
Looking for an engaging way to get your 3rd graders thinking deeply about area and perimeter? These Which One Doesn’t Belong? Math Reasoning Cards transform routine practice into exciting critical thinking challenges! Perfect for advanced learners, small groups, or math centers, each card encourages students to compare, justify, and explain their reasoning—building conceptual understanding alongside problem-solving skills. This resource includes 10 ready-to-use WODB task cards featuring recta
The following is a desk name plate/name tag created for 17” x 11” (2 desk name plate/name tags per landscape) page. This desk name plate includes a number line from 0 – 50, colors, shapes, uppercase and lowercase alphabet, consonant and vowel identification helper, ‘b’ and ‘d’ helper, and ‘letters that hang below the line’ helper. Students can use the number line as support for adding and subtracting basic numbers and counting. The language arts helpers are easy visual reminders for ‘b’
What a great challenge activity for your gifted and talented students, or those students who learn best by drawing the shapes themselves. A good review of counting faces, vertices and edges.

Then kids choose one of the polygon cards and draw a color example of their polygon in the box. They will answer simple questions about the attributes and then use the attributes to write a who am I riddle about their assigned polygon. Once they have this sheet completed they will be able to use the chatterPix app to import their polygon and record their polygon saying their 30 second or less riddle!
