Curated OER
Plane and Solid Figures
Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry instructional activity, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.
Curated OER
Pythagorean Triple
Pupils investigate the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing angles and sides of a right triangle. They label the hypotenuse and legs of a right triangle correctly.

Logic and Conditional Statements
If there is a conditional statement, then there is a hypothesis and conclusion. Pupils learn how to identify the parts of conditional statements. Class members continue to work with conditional statements and rewrite them in their many...
Curated OER
Navigating by the Numbers
Students observe how math is important in navigation and engineering. They study how surveyors use math and science to calcute, count, measure, label, and indicate distances on a map. They estimate specific distances.
Curated OER
Let's Plot Points
Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Parallel Lines, Transversals, and Angles: What’s the Connection?
Streets, bridges, and intersections, oh my! Parallel lines and transversals are a present in the world around us. Learners begin by discovering the relationship of the angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal. They then...
Curated OER
Property Lists for Quadrilaterals
Students establish classifications of shapes by various properties (angles, sides, etc.). They introduce the important properties of common shapes. Students develop an awareness of the wide variety of ways the 2-D shapes can be alike.

What Is Engineering Design
Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of designing and building large scale buildings. They conduct research using the internet and other resources in order to apply mathematics and architectural design principals in...
Curated OER
Navy Sail Design
Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore sailboat design. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, two sides of a triangular sail are measured, and the theorem is used to calculate the third side. A worksheet, bulletin board design,...
Curated OER
Exploring Special Segments in Triangles
Students discover that four special segments have a common intersection point. They identify the position of the intersection point in triangles. They produce conjectures about areas of the divided triangles.
