Special Right Triangles
Young scholars identify the different parts of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to identify missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They work with irrational and rational roots.
Curated OER
Surface Area of Cones
Students find the surface area of cones. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the dimensions of each three-dimensional shape and use the correct formula to solve the problem. They relate concepts of cones to the real world.

Investigating Similar Triangles
Let your use of the resource be in proportion to its usefulness. Pupils investigate similar triangles by measuring side lengths and considering given angle measures. The results of the investigation help develop generalizations about...
Curated OER
Connecting Formulas Related to Geometric Figures
Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.
Curated OER
Investigating Volume
Students investigate the components of volume and use appropriate units and procedures to calculate the volume of several household boxes.
Curated OER
Getting Familiar with Fractals
Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.
Curated OER
The Box with the Greatest Volume
Students use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve problems.
Curated OER
Classifying Pyramids
Students study pyramids. In this prisms lesson, students explore the attributes of pyramids. Students will explore the lateral surface area of pyramids and be able to distinguish pyramids from other space shapes.
