Geometry and Volume
The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions.
Curated OER
A Rectangular Prism and Its Net
Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!
Curated OER
Throw and Run Challenge
Students practice with various objects for throwing and catching (one per each group of 3 students); four poly spots or other markers such as cones for each group.
Curated OER
Kinetic Energy, Work-Energy Theorem, and Work Done by a Variable Force
In this kinetic energy activity, students solve six problems including finding work, determining kinetic energy, finding the coefficient of kinetic friction and finding work done on objects by air resistance and friction.
Curated OER
Troublesome Towers
Students observe solids and identify parts that make up the surface area. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the surface are of solids and cones. They find polygons and solids in the real world.
