Preparation and Transition to Two-Column Proofs
Students investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. For this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable to...
Curated OER
Constructing Parallel Lines
Students construct parallel lines using a protractor and a straightedge. In this geometry activity, students identify the properties of parallel lines. They use Cabri to graph and observe the lines.
Curated OER
The Flat Earth
Students differentiate between different planes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between a plane and a sphere. They discuss the Great Circle, Geodesic and Lune as it relates to the earth.
Curated OER
Sketching Spheres
Young scholars investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.
Curated OER
Math Morphing Proximate and Evolutionary Mechanisms
Students identify the different types of fractals. In this geometry lesson, students use math to analyze different biological phenomena. They collect data from the experiments and construct graphs.
Curated OER
Distance and Functions
Students calculate the distance using the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students identify the distance a taxi cab travels. They relate distance to functions and relate it to the real world.
Curated OER
Measuring The Earth
High schoolers use their geometry and trigonometry skills to determine the distance between their school and another school.
Curated OER
Problems!!!
In this word problems activity, students read word problems about one person telling the truth and one telling a lie and they figure out which is which. Students complete 4 problems.
Illustrative Mathematics
Do Two Points Always Determine a Linear Function?
Your learners can approach this task algebraically, geometrically, or both. They analyze the building of a linear function given two points and expand the concrete approach to the abstract when they are asked to find the general form of...
Curated OER
Reflected Triangles
Your learners find and construct the line of reflection between a triangle's pre-image and its reflection image in this short activity.
Curated OER
Worksheet 30 Spring 1996
In this math worksheet, students examine the functions for their properties to determine if they are real or not. They also graph them according to their domain and range.
