Lesson Plans: Support Materials Written by Teachers and Used in Schools

Zometool works closely with teachers and school districts around the country to produce manuals and lesson plans. Materials are available covering math, art, architecture and science activities from 1st Grade through Freshman college. All lesson plans meet U.S. national standards in their subject areas. Support for teachers also includes student workshops in schools, and formal teacher training programs. You can get in on the act! We need lesson plan ideas, critiques, and your real-life experience with our product.

1-12 Lesson Plans

Zometool Lesson Plans 1.0 contain 224 pages of activities--64 units in all--for primary grades through advanced high school classes. The plans, written with help from teachers in Jefferson County, Colorado's largest school district, let the teacher direct discovery learning of concepts in math, science, art, and architecture.
