The concept of sine and cosine is explored in this lesson where students graph sine and cosine graphs using a transformation application on the graphing calculator.  Students change the coefficients for the amplitude, period,...

Students perform transformation on their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the correct transformation of each shape. They move the polygons around on a coordinate plane. There are extension and homework activities...

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. For this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Learners investigate different online tutorials as they study graphing. In this graphing lesson, students apply the concept of graphs cross curricular and use it to make predictions. They define the purpose and theories behind graphs.

Students apply the concept of transformation to the game of battleship. In this algebra lesson, students relate their linear equations to how they would graph or set up their game pieces to win.

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

Learners solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students use matrices to solve linear equations. They use reduced row echelon-form and scalar multiplier to simplify the matrices completely.

Fourth graders explore how engineers transform wind energy into electrical energy by building their own miniature wind turbines and measuring the electrical current it produces. They see how design and position affect the electrical...

In this Big Bang instructional activity, students are given the equation used to determine the rate at which the universe is expanding according to the Big Bang theory. Students solve 4 problems using this equation. They find the...

Young scholars identify basic geometric shapes using Geogebra. For this geometry lesson, students work on a laptop as they explore different geometric shapes. They calculate the area and perimeter of triangles.

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

Students play a game to practice how to tell time. They play a game of battleship in which they try to find out where his or her partner's battleships are, using .day/time references. The winner is the first to find all of the other...

In this trigonometric functions worksheet, students solve and complete 28 various types of problems. First, they convert each function from degrees to radians. Then, students find the six trigonometric functions associated with the x...

Tenth graders explore congruent triangles.  In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate the conditions necessary to prove two triangles congruent.  The lesson combines dry erase board activities and the use of technology.

Students investigate angles converting them from radians to degrees. In this trigonometry lesson, students work with angles and the six different trig ratios. They graph the functions representing each trig functions and identify the...

For this reflections worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 34 different problems that include determining various reflections. First, they trace the figure and draw its reflection in each line. Then, 10th graders use the diagram...

Students use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.

Learners complete the square and identify different parts of a quadratic equation. For this algebra lesson, pupils graph conics using the TI calculator. They rewrite equations by completing the square.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders calculate the domain, range, asymptote and intercepts of a quadratic function. They sketch the graph and identify the transformation. There are 4 questions in this worksheet.

Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.

In this dividing decimals worksheet, learners review and observe examples, continue patterns, and multiply the dividend and divisor in each step by ten, so that the quotients remain the same. Students solve three problems.

Students study quilts. In this history/geometry quilt lesson, students discover the history behind quilt making and get a chance to make quilt blocks of their own. They work independently to make a quilt block out of construction paper...

In this transformation worksheet, 5th graders determine if a pair of figures are related by a slide, flip, or turn. The worksheet reviews rotation, reflection, and translation.
