Where in the world (or at least in the coordinate plane) is the third vertex? Given two coordinate points for the vertices of a triangle, individuals find the location of the third vertex. They read an account of fictional...

Transform the thinking of transformations with six sample items that illustrate the first four standards in the eighth grade geometry domain. Items use the coordinate plane to transform figures and analyze the relationship of the figures...

Four is the perfect number—if you're talking about parallelograms. Scholars determine a possible fourth vertex of a parallelogram in the coordinate plane given the coordinates of three vertices. They read a conversation...

When will we ever use this? A Pixar movie maker explains to students how math is used in the creation of animated films. The movie maker discusses the importance of coordinate planes, transformations and translations, and...

For this geometry worksheet, students plot coordinate pairs and connect the points to create different shapes. They give th shapes its polygon's name. They differentiate between simple functions and rectangular hyperbola.

Students investigate the relationship between perpendicular and parallel lines on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate lines based on their slopes.

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the midpoint of a line segment given the coordinates of the two endpoints or find the missing endpoint given the coordinates of the midpoint and one endpoint.  The one page...

Students find the coordinates of the vertices of special quadrilaterals placed in the coordinate plane. They find the coordinates of missing vertices of squares and parallelograms.

Students imagine the way lines look. For this vector lesson, students recognize how to find a vector equation, Cartesian equation or perpendicular distance. Students find angles between planes. Students complete an activity with...

In this geometry worksheet, learners answer questions about midpoints, distance, lines and segments. They are given different shapes and asked to calculate the angles, and sides of polygons.
