This University of St. Andrews site contains information and accomplishments of the earliest Hindu mathematician, Aryabhata.

What better way to get to know your students than with a 1:1 interview. Today you will interview each student on their knowledge of triangles and their ability to separate them from other shapes.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with a multi-step problem involving volume and to give them a chance to discuss the difference between exact calculations and their meaning in a context.

This task asks students to use similarity to solve a problem in a context that will be familiar to many, though most students are accustomed to using intuition rather than geometric reasoning to set up the shot.

The purpose of this task is to help students understand what is meant by a base and its corresponding height in a triangle and to be able to correctly identify all three base-height pairs.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders an overview of lines, curves, vertices, and sides of 2d shapes.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview of lines, curves, vertices, and sides of 2d shapes.

This tutorial for students new to algebra provides explanations, definitions, examples, and practice problems. The practice tests cover topics such as real numbers, fractions, equations, graphing, and exponents.

This Univ. of St. Andrews site contains an overview of Mandelbrot's life and accomplishments.

Knowledge in Action! Today you will find out if the students are understanding the idea of decomposing and composing shapes with pattern blocks.

I love blending art and math. I want my students to develop a depth of knowledge for 2D plane shapes and distinguish polygon from non-polygon shapes.

Kindergarteners love to identify shapes in their environment. In order to effectively do that, they must be able to recognize different shapes by their specific attributes. In this lesson kindergartners learn about the attributes of a cylinder.

This is one of my favorite Open House activities. We use our shapes to create "mystery" glyphs that are hung in the hallway. Families use the legend to guess their child's glyph!

Kindergarteners love to identify shapes in their environment. In order effectively do that, they must be able to recognize different shapes by their specific attributes. In this lesson kindergartners learn about the attributes of a circle.

Students make connections between the coordinate grid and Geometry by finding the distance of line segments using the coordinate plane. This lesson includes a detailed lesson plan, slides containing notes and problems, and a think-pair-share activity with a video explanation.

Understanding area and perimeter can help children work on solutions to very important, real world problems.
