This one activity requires young geometers to pull together information they are currently learning with things they have learned previously. Here they rely on understanding something about parallel lines, alternative interior angles,...

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

This is an interesting geometry problem. Given the figure, find the area of a triangle that is created by the intersecting lines. The solution requires one to use what he/she knows about coordinate geometry, as well as triangle...

With minimal setup and maximum freedom, young geometers are encouraged to think outside the box on a seemingly simple application problem. Though the task seems simple, measuring a given paper clip and finding how many 10 meters can...

Cutting the cheese isn't a joke. Scholars observe a wedge of cheese and must determine how to cut it in half horizontally. They apply their knowledge of sectors to determine the most accurate way to slice the cheese.

"Fore!" All right, no one really yells this out in miniature golf, but this well-defined activity will have your charges using lots of numbers in their unique design of a miniature golf hole. Included in the activity criteria is the...

Geometric figures are perfect to use for proofs. Scholars prove conjectures about whether given points lie on a triangle and about midpoints. They use a provided dialogue among fictional students to frame their responses.

Introduce drawing students to perspective with a series of lesson that detail how to draft images in one-, two-, and three-point perspective. Each exercise includes step-by-step, illustrated directions and examples.

Make music. Class members construct a simple record player using a paper cone and a pin. The resource provides a description of what is happening and why listeners can hear the sounds through the cone. 

Create jumbo bubbles and use them to teach about surface tension or interference, perfect for a physical science lesson on light or molecular attraction.

Students investigate projectile motion. In this projectile motion lesson, students investigate a website with an interactive lesson. Students view the changes in the projectile they see in the lesson. Students watch short video clips and...

This activity from Shodor Education Foundation will help you learn or review your angle vocabulary.

In this activity, students visualize and explore the angles that are formed when two lines intersect. By measuring angles formed by intersecting lines, they enhance their understanding of vertical angles, supplementary angles, and a...

Students will investigate the properties of angles formed by intersecting lines. They examine the definition of adjacent angles, supplementary angles, and vertical angles and learn about two important geometric theorems dealing with...

Study Vertical, Adjacent, and Supplementary Angles with Cabri Jr. Page numbers come from Prentice Hall Geometry textbook.

Students can use a map of Washington, DC, to travel to/from different tourist locations using vertical angles, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, same-side interior angles, and linear pairs.

Practice using your graphing calculator for drawing and labeling points, lines, planes, and angles. If you get stumped or if you would like to check your work, then select the View Solution button, which is located directly under each...

Students explore congruency of vertical angles.

Read a description of intersecting lines and all about the different kinds of angles they form. Includes examples.
