Chronic Conics
Fourth graders use two activities to draw four different conic sections. One activity is of a physical nature and one is traditional paper and pencil.

Unit Circle and Triangle
Students apply the Unit Circle to solve ratios of triangles. In this geometry activity, students derive the different ratios of a triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. They find the angles of a unit circle using a right triangle.

Let the Matrix Do It
Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Chart the Stars
Seventh graders find constellation distances and plot the stars. In this star lesson, 7th graders plot the star points for Canis Major. Students use graphing calculators to graph the constellation. Students choose another constellation...
Curated OER
Reflection
Students examine how some transformations, such as reflections and rotations, do not change the figure itself, only its position or orientation.

Complex Analysis: Polar & Exponential Forms
In this polar and exponential form worksheet, students use Euler's Formula to write complex numbers in exponential form. They write numbers in rectangular form. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.
Curated OER
Graphing Systems of Equations
For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use graphing to determine the solution to a system of linear equations. The two page worksheet contains explanation and three guided problems. Answers are not included.
Curated OER
Conics and Graphing
For this algebra worksheet, students solve equations by graphing an ellipse, circle and hyperbola. They match equations to graphs and define each type of function. There are 20 questions total.
Curated OER
Spaghetti Bridges
Students thread a piece of spaghetti through the holes in the cup. One person suspend the cup by placing each index finger approximately one inch in from the ends of the spaghetti.
Curated OER
Spaghetti Bridges
Eighth graders experiment with building bridges of spaghetti, pennies, and a cup to determine how varying the number of spagetti pieces affects the strength of the bridge. They graph their results and interpret the data.
Curated OER
Worksheet 33
In this math worksheet, students state Newton's second law of motion and his law of gravity. Then they state Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
Curated OER
Unit Circle Triangle
Students find the different ratios of a right triangle. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply the concept of the Pythagorean theorem as they identify the different angles and parts of a Unit Circle. They find the ratios...

Graph Functions: Practice
In this graph functions activity, learners complete several activities to help them graph functions. Students use the table and the graph to complete the questions. Learners also answer two test prep questions.
Curated OER
Bungee M&M's
Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."
