Young scholars explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool instructional activity, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Young scholars identify and...

First graders are introduced to a coordinate graph. They are given a graph and follow directions to place stickers in the designated blocks. They write coordinate points to identify the placement of their stickers.

Fourth graders are introduced to how to properly create a grid site. In groups, they use Cartesian coordinates to establish the boundaries for the grid and photograph the location of artifacts. They exchange their photos with another...

In this latitude worksheet, students answer questions about latitude that include absolute locations of countries and coordinates. Students complete 12 questions.

Learners examine the relationship between circumference and diameter and how to use the formula to find the area of a circle.  In this circle lesson students divide into groups and complete an activity. 

Discover how to solve systems of inequalities by graphing. An informative video shows pupils how to determine the solution set after graphing each inequality of a system. To finish, a activity gives them a chance to practice this skill.

Students graph linear equations on a Cartesian plane. After describing data tables and their use, students explore how the information from a table can be used to create a line graph. They discuss reasons for plotting a minimum of...

Pupils review the Cartesian plane and the process of plotting points. In groups, students create tables, identify the slope and y-intercept, and graph the equation. Afterward, pupils perform the same process, only, individually. As a...

Young scholars construct and test balloon rockets and a model rocket. In this rocket science instructional activity, students use an inquiry-based method to master balloon rockets and have a shoot-off with the goal of attaining the...

Students investigate the concept of reflectons. They investigate how an image has a reflection that is symmetrical. They also choose household objects in order to have real life application for finding lines of symmetry.

In this math worksheet, students use the polar coordinates to find the Euclidian coordinates. Then they compare points on the coordinate plane.

High schoolers explore how fuel use affects the mass of different planes during flight and graph their results. They determine the per person fuel cost of a transatlantic flight for seven airplanes

Students examine parallax and angular measurements.  In this investigative lesson plan students calculate distances of objects and map their results.

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry activity, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.
