Teach how graphic designers can use mathematics to represent three-dimensional movement on a two-dimensional television surface. Pupils use matrices, vectors, and transformations to model rotational movement. Their exploration involves...

Explore methods for solving linear systems with your classes and introduce learners to using matrices as a viable method. Scholars are able to recognize situations where matrices are the efficient method of solving. Application...

Investigate the application of vector transformations applied to linear systems. Individuals use vectors to transform a linear system translating the solution to the origin. They apply their understanding of vectors, matrices,...

In this online math exercises worksheet, students complete a variety of assignments including practicing eight math calculations, two word problems and drawing three mirror images. Students check their work online as they go.

Students identify real world objects as shapes they have learned. For this 3-D shapes worksheet, students identify shapes such as a cube for a box, a sphere for a globe, and a cylinder for a soup can.

Students identify the nth rule for each sequence. In this algebra lesson, students finish the pattern or sequence and find the missing term. They relate patterns and sequences to the real world.

Students solve real world problems involving area and perimeter in this unit culminating activity.

Upper graders use the properties of right angle trignonmetry to measure objects such as the school flagpole. They solve real world problems using these properties.

Middle schoolers complete basic operations using percentages in a variety of real world situations. Discounts are computed and compared to a variety of prices listed in local newspaper advertisements.

Young scholarsare introduced to the Pythagorean Theorem by exploring right triangles and the squares built on each side. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to real-world problems. Students u se informal and nonformal arguments of proof...

Horses need exercise, too. Scholars create linear equations to model the perimeter of exercise fields for horses. They finish by solving their equations for the length and width of the fields.

Students collect data from an experiment they perform. In this data lesson, students use multiple representations to solve practical problems; describe advantages and disadvantages of the use of each representation. Then, they evaluate...

Creating equations with one variable  to solve real-world-type problems is a key skill any algebra learner needs to master. Here the focus is on realizing that one can write the equation in different ways depending upon how one...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Students investigate the concepts of volume for rectangular prisms and spheres. They measure the volume of one balloon and then consider how many breaths it would take to fill the room with balloons. The rectangular prism being measured...
