A comprehensive guide for learning all about plane shapes with definitions, properties, types, solved examples, and practice questions.

This lesson plan contains a learning exercise for students to familiarize themselves with the Cartesian Coordinate System and its many uses in the world of mathematics. Contains links to explanations of terms and concepts associated with...

Through a series of activities, students discover that the concept of mechanical advantage describes reality fairly well. They act as engineers creating a design for a ramp at a construction site by measuring four different inclined...

Evolution through natural selection governs the "design" of flying creatures. Engineers design flying machines. But flying is about physics, and physics is the ultimate arbiter of both processes, and that produces parallels in mechanical...

Students will explore what they can do with balls, cars, marbles, and ramps and document findings in their science journals. This will engage their curiosity, allow them to make self-discoveries, and explore self-interests.

Given a complex number, plot its corresponding point on the complex plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This section includes operations with imaginary and complex numbers and plotting numbers on the complex plane.

Students make connections between the coordinate grid and Geometry by finding the distance of line segments using the coordinate plane. This lesson plan includes a detailed lesson plan, slides containing notes and problems, and a...

The students will be learning about the coordinate grid through the use of multiple learning styles and real-life examples. Space is needed since students will be actively moving! This lesson includes slides containing notes and...

Students will develop an understanding of the Cartesian plane through questioning and reasoning. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of the four quadrants within the coordinate system.

This lesson consists of two PowerPoint presentations that use animation (motion) to demonstrate how to obtain a 1-1 mapping between a plane and ordered pairs of Real numbers. These can be teacher presented or if you have enough PCs...

This lesson plan helps students understand how to graph ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. Lots of resources are available to teachers and students at this website.

Students explore building a pyramid, learning about the simple machine called an inclined plane. They also learn about another simple machine, the screw, and how it is used as a lifting or fastening device. During a hands-on activity,...

An overview of functions and graphing on a coordinate plane.

Ric Elias had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York in January 2009. What went through his mind as the doomed plane went down? At TED, he tells his story publicly for the first time....

First graders begin to learn about plane shapes in Kindergarten. This lesson will serve as review of plane shapes' characteristics and extend into practice in categorizing shapes by defining attributes.

Owl Planes is a multiplayer typing game that allows students from anywhere in the world to race against each other while practicing typing and keyboard skills!

The students will be learning about the coordinate grid through the use of multiple learning styles and real life examples.

At the end of this lesson plan about the coordinate grid, students will be able to identify x- and y-axes, point of origin, quadrants, coordinates, and ordered pairs, and read, interpret, and plot points in any of the quadrants.

Learn about the Dayton, Ohio brothers who are credited with inventing and flying the world's first successful airplane.

Given a coordinate plane, the student will graph dilations, reflections, and translations, and use those graphs to solve problems.

In this interactive, students use clues and logic to plot the location of aquatic animals on a Cartesian graph that represents the four cardinal directions. The three riddles in the interactive, including one that requires students to...

This Math Forum site gives visual examples of rotation, translation, reflection, and glide reflection with background information about each. Also gives problems to work on concerning symmetry.

Site that focuses on planar pattern and transformations within geometry. It also identifies different kinds of symmetry.
