Curated OER
Simplify Radicals
Learners are introduced to the concept of radicals and how to use them in various situations. They review rational and irrational numbers while simplifying different number sentences. They also practice factoring perfect squares.
Illustrative Mathematics
Downhill
A car traveling down a steep hill is the model for this resource. The confusion comes when the elevation, E, is given in terms of distance, d. The distance, d, is the horizontal distance from E. Therefore, the equation, E = 7500 – 250d,...
Curated OER
Shape Tool
Learners explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. For this shape tool lesson, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Learners identify and draw one line of symmetry in a...
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
As Good As Gold
Students find examples of the Golden Ratio on the human body through measurement. Additionally, students learn about the use of the Golden Ratio and the Golden Rectangle in art and architecture. A very interesting lesson for the students!
Curated OER
Linking Kwanzaa to Technology and History
Seventh graders use the Internet to research the holiday of Kwanzaa. Using the information, they create a brochure to promote the holiday to others. They email the information to a friend to end the lesson plan.
Curated OER
Four Estimating the Area of Small Objects Problems
In this estimating area learning exercise, students work with their families to draw four small objects found around their house and estimate the area of each object.
Curated OER
Law of Cosines
Learners model scenarios using functions and their properties. In this trigonometry lesson, students calculate the angles of sine, cosine and tangent. They perform operation using a calculator.
Curated OER
Plenty of Pythagoras
Using a twelve foot knotted rope, students form a 3-4-5 right triangle. Following a discussion of observations about the lengths of the sides of the triangle, students use grid paper, scissors and a centimeter ruler to draw and measure...
Curated OER
Geometry Review
Seventh graders explore basic geometric definitions involving angles, area, and circumference. To reinforce basic geometric concepts, they play a "lightning Flash" card game. Students discuss chores or jobs that require the use of...
Curated OER
The Math of Science-Squares and Square Roots
In this squares and square roots worksheet, students practice finding the squares of numbers and the square roots of numbers given word problems.
Curated OER
Finding Patterns in Fractals
Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.
Curated OER
Quadratic Parabolas
In this math instructional activity, students find the solutions of the problems for quadratic equations. They graph the parabolas and find the missing sides of the triangles.
Curated OER
Two-Step Linear Equations
In this two-step linear equations worksheet, 7th graders solve 15 various problems that include linear equations with more than one-step. First, they need to get the variable, x, alone by subtracting/adding the whole number on the same...
Curated OER
Pike's Peak Problem
For this algebra worksheet, students answer a word problem about a distance-rate multiplied by times problem. They discuss slope and altitude. There is an answer key with this problem.
Curated OER
Plain Figures And Measuring Figures
Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...
Curated OER
Area graphics for 7th graders
Pupils randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.
Curated OER
Optional Laboratory: Measuring Tree Heights
Students work together to measure tree heights. They make predictions on what they believe the calculations are and answer questions during the experiment. They share their results with the class.
