Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Through the use of Internet, video, and hands-on activities, youngsters learn the parts and characteristics of a circle. This fantastic lesson has some excellent website activities included in the plan. Your kids will have a much greater...

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. For this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

Just about every public building that your students are familiar with has an access ramp which complies with ADA requirements. As it turns out, designing such a ramp is an excellent activity to incorporate slope, the Pythagorean Theorem,...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

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. 

A hands-on lesson using the TI-CBR Motion Detector to provide information to graph and analyze. The class uses this information to calculate the slope of motion graphs and differentiate scalar and vector quantities. There is a real-world...

Who knew running a greenhouse required so much math? Amaze future mathematicians and farmers with the amount of unit conversions, ratio and proportional reasoning, and geometric applications involved by having them complete the...

Dominoes, polyominoes, tetrominoes, and pentominoes are the subject of this interesting math activity designed for middle schoolers. Pupils cut out shapes that are embedded in a worksheet in the plan, and experiment with them by...

Young scholars conduct a review that is done right before having a geometry quiz. They cover major topics that are part of the assessment. They use review cards as notes to pass to one another to reinforce the concepts before putting...

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Students model scenarios using functions and their properties. In this trigonometry instructional activity, students calculate the angles of sine, cosine and tangent. They perform operation using a calculator.

Young scholars build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Students solve problems using the law of sine and cosine. In this precaclulus lesson, students learn the law of DeMoivre's Theorem and Heron's theorem. They use both theorems to solve problems.

Twelfth graders build a model of the following figures with the base from column I and the cross-section from column II. Draw the base with labeled axes on the graph paper and construct the figure on top of the base with the play dough...

Students solve problems using sine and cosine. In this precalculus instructional activity, students solve word problems using sine and cosine. They identify where it is appropriate to laws of sine and cosine and where to use the...

Students investigate the concept of perimeter. They design there own figure and measure the perimeter of it. The lesson plan is given the context of the shape being a path that is traveled by a ladybug. This provides the shape of the...

Learners investigate octagons using words and shapes. In this geometry lesson, students discuss the shape of an octagon using physical and symbolic models. They make conjecture about the shape and relate it to the real world.

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

High schoolers write the equation of a circle. In this geometry lesson plan, students check the solution of a coordinate pair by evaluating them. They graph the circle given the equation and radius.

 In this Integrated Algebra worksheet, students solve problems that reflect the topics covered during the course of work.  The answer key identifies each question by standard and topic.  The twenty-four page worksheet...

For this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the eighteen problems while substituting the numbers for the variables in the expressions.

In this using proper tools worksheet, students answer a set of 10 multiple choice questions. Students may click on a link to see answers and may print worksheet out.
