Pupils explore the concept of trapezoids.  In this trapezoids instructional activity, students identify legs and bases of a trapezoid.  Pupils discuss the similarities and differences between isosceles trapezoids and right...

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

In this tangram worksheet, students find the area of each tangram shape. Afterwards, they name each piece and find the area of combined figures. This one-page worksheet contains approximately 25 problems.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Students compare and contrast angles and identify them as acute, obtuse, right, or straight angles. They create rays and angles using uncooked spaghetti, read and discuss key vocabulary terms, and complete a variety of geometry worksheets.

Learners investigate the side splitter theorem. In this geometry lesson, students estimate and solve problems dealing with ratios and proportions. They identify angles created by lines that are parallel.

Connect the size of a rolling cup to the size of circle it makes. Pupils view videos of cups of different sizes rolling in a circle. Using the videos and additional data, they attempt to determine a relationship between cup...

Scholars first complete an individual assignment using a quadratic equation to model the movement of a bus around a corner. Learners then discuss their solutions with classmates and analyze the provided sample responses.

In this proportions worksheet, 6th graders use the problem solving steps of understand, plan, solve and look back to solve a story problem using proportions.

In this transformations and congruence worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 5 different types of problems. First, they calculate the length of a line giving their answer in 3 significant figures. Then, students prove that two...

Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...

Ninth graders explore a variety of geometry and science concept while making an origami frog. The fold paper into the shape of a frog and conduct measurement activities including frog leaps.

Students solve problems using the pythagorean theorem. They use critical thinking skills in order to use a systematic process to solve the problem. Upon solving each problem the uniqueness of the lesson is asking students to give an...

Students explore the concept of the corner problem. In this corner problem instructional activity, students use the TI-NSpire to determine the maximum length a rod can be and still pass horizontally around a corner. Students use similar...

Students investigate image and pre-image. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the reflection and rotation of different shape on a coordinate plane. They identify similarities and differences of image and pre-image of a...

In this ordinal numbers worksheet, students look at a row of shapes and color the 3rd circle blue and the 5th circle red. Students follow similar directions in two other rows of shapes.

Learners examine and identify the similarities and differences of two-dimensional shapes. They play an I-Spy shape game, participate in a classroom Shape Search, and create illustrations of shapes for a shape collage.

Young scholars use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They...

In this mathematics test bookelt, students solve problems studied during the year.  They solve problems covering topics such as probability, angle intersection, commission, percent, exponents, similar figures, and reading and...

Students create sets of similar triangles which, when fixed together with a piece of Scotch tape, form a spiral-like, segmented shape, slightly similar to the cross section of the shell of a nautilus.

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...
