Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

What type of quadrilateral is that? Discover the difference between the types of quadrilaterals. Small groups investigate types of quadrilaterals using geometry software to find their properties. To keep track of the different...

Learners identify and use the similarity theorem. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar triangles. They solve problems using the computer modifying shapes by dragging.

Students find the median of trapezoids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify important properties of trapezoids. They create trapezoids and polygons using Cabri software.

Students identify properties of trapezoids. In this geometry lesson, students are put into groups and use computer programs to analyze polygons. They drag and move the shapes around as they make predictions.

For this word worksheet, 9th graders examine pictures and write a mathematical phrase to describe the picture.  This one-page worksheet contains 25 problems.  Answers are provided.

Students review plane figures by playing a game that resembles "Twister." They listen to directions to locate a large example of the figure which is placed on the floor.

Learners explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

In this math activity, students find how a 1 kg bucket filled with 10 kg of water is lifted 10 m into the air. They set up an integral which gives the total amount of work done on the bucket and the water used for lifting it.

Students construct midsegments. In this geometry lesson, students make conjectures and apply properties of triangles to solve problems. They complete an activity on the computer.
