Students explore geometry by defining a list of vocabulary terms. In this shape characteristics lesson, students identify a number of different shapes and discuss the amount of edges, vertices, and faces using the Euler formula. Students...

Learners explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Learners identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Ninth graders identify quadrilaterals and label the vertices of quadrilaterals. they justify their identification of the quadrilaterals. Students work in groups to identify and create quadrilaterals

High schoolers utilize a trajectory formula in order to discover the physics of a thrown ball.  In this physics instructional activity, students videotape the trajectory of a thrown ball or basketball shot and analyze the action by...

Did you know that a soccer ball is very similar to a truncated icosahedron? Both have 32 faces, but while a truncated icosahedron is made up solely of flat hexagons, a traditional soccer ball has 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, each curved...

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...
