Two sonnets provide seventh graders with examples of Shakespearean sonnets. After discussing the story of the poems and analyzing their rhyme scheme and rhythm, young poets craft a Shakespearian sonnet and share their work with two...

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

For this snowman worksheet, students label points on a circle with radian measures.  They identify the coordinates of the points outside the circle.  Students decorate the snowman.  This one-page worksheet contain 1...

In this math worksheet, students examine the graph in polar coordinates of r = f(θ). Then they sketch a graph of the modified functions indicated.

In this math learning exercise, students identify the location of pictures on a coordinate plane. They write some answers as an ordered pair. They read ordered pairs and identify the picture at a specified location. Six problems are on a...

Fifth graders use the attached worksheet, Where's My Location? - Directions, to play a game in which they plot points on a grid.

Students explore the reasons for the seasons. In this season lesson,students use flashlights to demonstrate the movement of the Earth and how it influences the seasons. Students label pictures and discuss what would happen if the...

Students address a major misconception in astronomy, the understanding of scale. The lesson is designed to introduce students to both celestial coordinates and to the first rung on the distance determination ladder, parallax.

For this congruence statements worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 16 various types of problems. First, they complete each congruence statement listed. Then, students graph each set of points on the coordinate plane provided. They...

By first starting with an explicit example of a radius and center point, this challenging lesson tries to help high schoolers gain an understanding of the Pythagorean theorem and the equation of a circle. Once they have accomplished the...

How do letters and numbers create a picture? Scholars learn to create input/output tables to graph functions. They graph both linear and nonlinear functions by creating tables and plotting points. 

How many different types of triangles can your class name? A discovery lesson guides learners through an exploration of the different triangle types and the relationships between their angles and sides. Using coordinate geometry,...

Put geometry skills to the test! Learners solve compound inequalities and then graph the inequalities on a coordinate plane using their geometric skills. They identify the slope and y-intercept in order to graph correctly. I like this...

Designed originally for higher education, this PowerPoint could also be used to introduce your high schoolers to the semicolon, colon, and comma splice. The texts do not contain pictures or graphics; instead, they present information in...

Take the first step into graphing sequences. Learners set the starting number, multiplier, add-on, and the number of steps for a sequence. Using the inputs, the interactive calculates and plots the sequence on the coordinate plane. Users...

No graphing calculator? No worries, there's an app for that! Young mathematicians use an app to graph functions. In addition, they can also plot data points.

Students create pictures using a geoboard and straws using the X and Y axis.

Students analyze the storytelling methods in wordless books.  In this visual storytelling activity, students write a story that correspond to a specific wordless picture book.  Students create their own wordless picture book...

In this vector worksheet, students draw simple pictures, identify the positions of the vectors, write equations to describe vector location. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

Fourth graders have a class discussion about fraction and negative numbers that were in the coordinates. They plot and read ordered numbered pairs. They transform ordered pairs and explore transformation of figures on a plane.

Students create a short report using all the steps in the writing process including a bibliography. They explore different pictures that relate to their topic and download an image for the internet into their report. A helpful rubric is...

Students identify the types and characteristics of geometric figures. In this lighthouse geometric instructional activity, students review shapes that represent plane or solid.  They select items that could be used to construct a...

Students drill and practice putting problems into vector form. They draw each problem before trying to solve them. Students draw arrows for any vector quantities to indicate magnitude and direction.

Sometimes the best view is from the farthest distance. Satellite imaging makes it possible to create altitude maps from far above the earth. A three-part activity has your young scientists play the role of the satellite and then use...
