High schoolers measure movements in the Earth's crust due to seismic activity. Students calculate the amount of displacement in horizontal and vertical direction due to an earthquake.

Students explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations lesson, students use Geometer's Sketchpad to construct cyclic and dihedral figures. Students study reflection and rotation symmetry. Students discuss vertical,...

Ninth graders add and subtract polynomials.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders work practice problems as they view a PowerPoint presentation of the lesson plan.  Both the horizontal and vertical methods of addition and...

Students translate functions horizontally and vertically. In this algebra lesson, students identify the parts of the formula that allows the graph to move left, right, up and down. They perform a transformation on the coordinate plane.

Students estimate and calculate the distance of a shape. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the observer.

Students study the ancient art of Chinese scroll painting. They create an original landscape painting mounted on printed framing paper. Students discuss information about Chinese scroll paintings, an art form used for a least 2,000...

Where did conic sections get their name? The equation and graph of a parabola are developed from the definition of the conic section. Teacher examples on graphing the equation and writing an equation from the graph round out the plan.

Enhance your class's understanding of linear equations by extending their study to parallel and perpendicular lines. Young mathematicians learn the relationship between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They then use that...

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

Time for a shift in thinking! Learners examine translations of linear functions. They use function notation to describe the translation and make connections to the graph.

Seeing functions in nature is a beautiful part of mathematics by analyzing the motion of a dolphin over time. Then take a look at the value of a stock and maximize the profit of a new toy. Explore the application of quadratics by...

Count up or down to find sums. The third lesson in a 25-part series uses number lines to build an understanding of the sums of integers. Pupils make the connection between the distance and direction of a sum from the first addend, then...

Develop the rules for adding rational numbers. Pupils continue to work on adding integers. Young mathematicians use their experiences to develop the rules for adding integers with like and unlike signs. They finish the lesson plan by...

The San Andreas Fault is the largest earthquake-producing fault in California. In the seventh lesson plan in the 20 part series, pupils create maps of California, focusing on the San Andreas Fault system. The comparison of where...

Discover how to apply the commutative and associative properties to generate equivalent expressions. The second lesson in the 28-part module asks pupils to rearrange an expression by grouping like terms. From there, they can combine...

Students study perspective drawing. They create depth on a flat surface by using size and placement and define horizontal line. They investigate the basic techniques of using watercolors.

Students examine the concept of inequality. They compare and contrast vertical and horizontal inequality and identify methods on how inequality is measured. They research trends of inequality in the United Kingdom.

Students select a common object or a face, and draw or paint it on a flat surface making it larger than real life. They choose a common object or simple scene and repeat it horizontally or vertically as defined rows. They create a flat,...

Students investigate linear, quadratic, and absolute value functions.  In this Algebra II lesson, students observe and describe family traits that exist among functions as they use technology to graph several functions on the same...

For this multiplication worksheet, students solve 30 problems as quickly as possible. All problems are multiplication facts of 4. These problems are all written horizontally.

In this math worksheet, students practice division facts 0 to 12 by completing a drill sheet of 250 problems. All are written horizontally with no remainders; this could be a timed test.

In this math worksheet, students graph inequalities on a coordinate grid. The eight problems have a coefficient of one for the y variable. Three problems have a negative value for y. The final four problems are horizontal or vertical lines.

In this math worksheet, students solve 12 problems in which simple fractions with unlike denominators are added. Examples are in a horizontal format with ample room to rewrite with common denominators.

For this math worksheet, learners solve 80 multiplication facts from 0x0 to 9x9. Problems are written in a horizontal formal. There is a large Thanksgiving cornucopia picture on the page.
