Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Students watch teacher demonstration of distance formula, view non-collinear cities on maps, plot points on coordinate plane, evaluate square roots, compute distance between two points, and use Heron's formula to find area of triangles.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders identify the missing angles using the polygons sum conjecture. They measure exterior and interior angles using their angle theorems. There are 63 problems.

For this unit circle learning exercise, high schoolers answer 90 short answer questions about the unit circle.  Students sketch angles given a radian measure.  High schoolers find the trigonometric values of various angles on...

Here is a math lab that helps young mathematicians understand the real-life meaning for vector addition. By building a model using spring scales and washers as weight, and then calculating the vector addition using two different methods,...

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. For this boomerang lesson, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then create a...

First-time physicists experiment with pendulums in this physics instructional activity. They vary the weight of the bob, record how long each takes to complete ten period swings, and then calculate the time for one period. They repeat...

How do you solve systems of linear equations? Scholars watch a video to learn how to solve systems using elimination-combination. After viewing the video, they solve seven systems of equations.

Students conduct an experiment to determine if a plant's response to gravity is affected by different angles of plant orientation.

Students conduct an experiment and use different measurements of a single root to illustrate the mechanism of plant movement.

Students conduct an experiment to determine how the absence of a root cap affects a plant's ability to sense gravity. They make comparisons between capped and decapped roots.

Students practice moving different shaped objects through a series of transformations. In groups, they discuss other ways to manipulate the figure to achieve the same results. They solve multiple story problems in the same manner.

Lesson 1 of 10 lessons in this orienteering unit is about maps and map scales. After all, orienteering is all about maps, compasses, and finding ones' way around. It is imperative to be able to read maps and understand the relevance of...

Learners investigate the connection that exists between Algebra and Geometry. They classify two and three-dimensional figures. Pupils use formulas to solve problems in geometry and use appropriate measuring devices in the right contexts.

This lesson entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The lesson covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.

Young scholars explore how to solve any quadratic equation with a video about the quadratic formula. They then use the quadratic formula to solve a set of quadratic equations.

How do you solve equations with more than one variable? Scholars view a video that explains solving literal equations as simply an extension of solving simple equations. Once they have a handle on the concept, they work on several...

Class members learn how to apply formulas for spheres and cones with a video that begins with a review of the formulas for surface area and volume of spheres and cones. Pupils use these formulas to solve problems on a worksheet.

Class members explore how to read and use histograms by watching a video on creating and analyzing histograms. To finish, the class works on a set of questions that tests these skills.

Fifth graders investigate possible solutions to a word problem. They explore properties of polygons and right angles. Students demonstrate proper angle measurement. Students discover patterns.

Ninth graders operate a model to observe the type of motion that occurs at a fault during an earthquake. They explore the effects of several variables. Students measure movement, calculate averages and plot and graph information.

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...

Fourth graders measure wind speed over a week's time uisng a ping pong and a protractor and graph the results. They convert the number of degrees to miles per hour using a scale. They discuss patterns and relationships.

Students use geometry or trigonometry to measure the distance of a far off point. They verify their measurements using a tape measure to check their work.
