Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

Students identify the different properties of quadrilaterals. For this geometry-lesson, students define parallel sides and diagonals of polygons as they compare to a quadrilateral. They identify the methods to find the angles in a...

Students explore math functions by completing a worksheet in class. In this spatial movement lesson, students utilize a four square grid and a penny to practice moving the coin horizontally, vertically and diagonally as instructed....

There are many different ways to show a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.  Here is a nice hands-on paper cutting activity that shows a graphic representation. You can even challenge your young Pythagoreans to come up with their own...

Students examine finding the sum of an infinite series as the limit of partial sums. Through hands-on activities, students create their own sequence by finding the area of a square and then cutting it in half-sized pieces. They write...

Young scholars analyze distance and graphing. In this geometry lesson, students work problems on a coordinate grid calculating the distance. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to their data and answer.

Students explore the coordinate plane.  In this middle school/Algebra I lesson, students use dice with numbers and signs to play a game in which they must locate points on a coordinate plane.  Students work in teams to place...

Sixth graders use geoboards and dot paper to experiment with geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders complete four activities using geoboards or dot paper including naming points on a coordinate plan and finding the area...

Students create a diagram based on rocks using a computer program. They use the program to put their thoughts in order and to have a sheet to reference to.

Students see that artists make many different kinds of lines. They discuss how artists use line to show ideas such as motion, mood, or emphasis and identify different kinds of lines in a variety of artworks and their environment.

Students calculate the different ratios using a right triangle. In this trigonometry lesson, students identify the sine, cosine and tangent of each side. They find the missing angles using the different ratios.

Learners explore line(s) of symmetry in polygons during a hands-on activity and a Student Web Lesson. They build a wall of symmetrical shapes designed and drawn by students.

Students define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.
