Cones and Spheres
Explore methods for finding the volume of different three-dimensional figures. The 20th lesson in the 25-part series asks learners to interpret diagrams of 3-D figures and use formulas to determine volume. Scholars must use the...
EngageNY
From Ratios to Rates
Rate ratios with unit rates and rate units. Pupils take ratios and determine their associated rates and unit rates. The scholars identify the different aspects of rates, the unit rate, and the rate unit. The lesson is the 16th in a...

Distributions and Their Shapes
What can we find out about the data from the way it is shaped? Looking at displays that are familiar from previous grades, the class forms meaningful conjectures based upon the context of the data. The introductory...

Scale Factors
Is it bigger, or is it smaller—or maybe it's the same size? Individuals learn to describe enlargements and reductions and quantify the result. Lesson five in the series connects the creation of a dilated image to the result. Pupils...

Dividing the King’s Foot into 12 Equal Pieces
Apply, apply, apply! A measurement lesson applies a number of concepts to help learn a new construction. Scholars learn to divide a segment into n equal parts using a method that uses the Side Splitter Theorem and a method that...
EngageNY
General Prisms and Cylinders and Their Cross-Sections
So a cylinder does not have to look like a can? By expanding upon the precise definition of a rectangular prism, the lesson develops the definition of a general cylinder. Scholars continue on to develop a graphical organizer...

The Volume Formula of a Sphere
What is the relationship between a hemisphere, a cone, and a cylinder? Using Cavalieri's Principle, the class determines that the sum of the volume of a hemisphere and a cone with the same radius and height equals the volume of a...

Finding Systems of Inequalities That Describe Triangular and Rectangular Regions
How do you build a polygon from an inequality? An engaging lesson challenges pupils to do just that. Building from the previous lesson in this series, learners write systems of inequalities to model rectangles, triangles, and even...
EngageNY
Perimeter and Area of Polygonal Regions in the Cartesian Plane
How many sides does that polygon have? Building directly from lesson number eight in this series, learners now find the area and perimeter of any polygon on the coordinate plane. They decompose the polygons into triangles and use Green's...

Unknown Angle Problems with Inscribed Angles in Circles
We know theorems about circles—now what? Class members prove a theorem, with half the class taking the case where a point is inside the circle and half the class taking the case where a point is outside the circle. The activity then...
EngageNY
Radicals and Conjugates
Make the irrational rational again! Continuing the theme from previous lessons in the series, the lesson relates the polynomial identity difference of squares to conjugates. Learners develop the idea of a conjugate through analysis and...
EngageNY
Probability Rules (part 2)
Ensure your pupils are rule followers! Learners add the addition rule to the set of probability rules examined in the previous lesson. Problems require both the multiplication and addition rule.
EngageNY
Normal Distributions (part 2)
From z-scores to probability. Learners put together the concepts from the previous lessons to determine the probability of a given range of outcomes. They make predictions and interpret them in the context of the problem.
EngageNY
Margin of Error When Estimating a Population Proportion (part 2)
Error does not mean something went wrong! Learners complete a problem from beginning to end using concepts developed throughout the last five lessons. They begin with a set of data, determine a population proportion, analyze their result...

Four Interesting Transformations of Functions (Part 1)
Understanding how functions transform is a key concept in mathematics. This introductory instructional activity makes a strong connection between the function, table, and graph when exploring transformations. While the resource uses...
EngageNY
Four Interesting Transformations of Functions (Part 2)
What happens to a function whose graph is translated horizontally? Groups find out as they investigate the effects of addition and subtraction within a function. This nineteenth lesson in a 26-part series focuses on horizontal...
EngageNY
Four Interesting Transformations of Functions (Part 4)
What do you get when you cross piecewise functions with transformations? An engaging instructional activity! The conclusion of a four-part series on the transformations of functions asks class members to apply transformations to...

Graphing Quadratic Equations from the Vertex Form
Graphing doesn't need to be tedious! When pupils understand key features and transformations, graphing becomes efficient. This lesson connects transformations to the vertex form of a quadratic equation.
EngageNY
Recursive Formulas for Sequences
Provide Algebra I learners with a logical approach to making connections between the types of sequences and formulas with a lesson that uses what class members know about explicit formulas to develop an understanding of...
