Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

Young mathematicians find the surface area and volume of a square pyramid and a cone. In what looks like a typical activity out of a textbook, you'll find an activity where learners find an unknown measurement of a pyramid or...

Young geometers and biologists investigate the math of nature in an activity that is just the bee's knees. Participants will study the tessellations of hexagons in a beehive, along with the natural rationale behind the specific shape....

Have scholars show what they know with a 20-page assessment aligned to the California State Standards. The test covers concepts such as large and whole numbers, all four mathematical operations, fractions, decimals, geometric figures,...

In this area/perimeter learning exercise, students find perimeter and area of 6 given triangles. An answer key is included on page 2.

Pupils investigate triangles and their relationship to each other. In this geometry lesson, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. They differentiate between right, acute, straight and oblique...

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Students practice assessing how to apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles. They recount the contributions of Pythagoras and apply the theories of the Pythagorean theorem in a group project to calculate the...

In this trigonometry worksheet, students solve 15 triangle problems.  Students use the law of sines and law of cosines to find the missing angles and side lengths of a triangles.

Learners construct the Sierpinski Triangle using Cabri Jr. They use a step-by-step guide to construct the Sierpinski Triangle on their graphing calculator and then discuss the formula for constructing a nth stage Sierpinski Triangle.

Studetns use a spreadsheet to organize data on the sides of a triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem and the If then spreadsheet function to decide whether the three sides determine a right triangle. Middle schoolers work...

Students apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles. Through guided practice, students discover the correct way to apply the formulas. Working in pairs, they write their own problems featuring the formulas.

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Gaining practice in translating a verbal description into a diagram and then an equation is the real point of this similar triangles exercise. Once the diagram is drawn, multiple methods are provided to reach the conclusion. An effective...

Your learners get extra practice using coordinates in calculating mid points, finding end points, deciding if points are collinear, calculations using slope concepts, writing linear equations, using triangles and quadrilaterals, and...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Tenth graders connect the history of geometry to problem solving. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate polygons through hands on manipulatives and solve problems relating to parallelograms and triangles. They calculate the...

In this geometry worksheet, learners are asked to solve for the surface area of a triangle and a trapezoid. They are fiven the height and base. There are 2 questions with an answer key.

In this hydrate worksheet, students find the formula of an unknown salt by determining the mass of water in the heated compound. Students burn off the water and record data to establish the final mass and formula of the hydrate.

Tenth graders calculate the area and the volumes of polygons. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders review the formulas used to solve for the area and volume and explain to the class how they arrived at their answer. They search online...

Two students are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson plan, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no...

Students randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Everyone's heard of Pythagoras, but who's Ptolemy? Learners test Ptolemy's Theorem using a specific cyclic quadrilateral and a ruler in the 22nd installment of a 23-part module. They then work through a proof of the theorem.
