In this trigonometry worksheet, 11th graders are given a tower built by different angles and asked to prove the sides are true using the theorems of trig angles. There are 3 questions with an answer key.

Students create a masterpiece. In this drawing instructional activity students use a magazine picture to make a very tall person. The students cut the picture to stretch it out.

Students study angiosperms and their classifications.  In this investigative instructional activity students compare the sexual reproduction of angiosperms and seed formations. 

Students view images and draw conclusions based on what they see happening in the pictures. For this drawing conclusions lesson plan, students also write a paragraph and their classmates have to draw a conclusion based on their writing.

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry instructional activity, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

Students identify the properties of a dragon curve. For this geometry lesson, students identify sequences and patterns as they solve fractals. They investigate patterns found in nature.

Students identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Pupils investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry lesson plan, students build a fractal tree. They investigate different career fields where fractals are used in the real world.

Students investigate Koch's Snowflake. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of creating Koch's snowflake. They solve problems dealing with fractals and patterns.

Students investigate the properties of Koch's snowflake. In this geometry lesson plan, students investigate fractals and patterns. They create Koch's snowflake using Cabri software.

Fifth graders explore the three types of angles. In this math instructional activity, 5th graders estimate the measure of angles and draw the angles using a protractor.
