Introduction to Unit V-Transformations
Pupils investigate transformations. In this Algebra I/Geometry lesson, students explore reflections, translations, rotations and dilations. The lesson includes examples of transformations in art, architecture, and nature.
Curated OER
Data Representation
Pupils solve real life scenarios using math. In this geometry lesson, students collect, predict and interpret data. They measure a chair using different measurements and choose what would make the chair the best design.

Trigonometry and Complex Numbers
Complex numbers were first represented on the complex plane, now they are being represented using sine and cosine. Introduce the class to the polar form of a complex number with the 13th part of a 32-part series that defines the argument...
Illustrative Mathematics
Similar Triangles
Proving triangles are similar is often an exercise in applying one of the many theorems young geometers memorize, like the AA similarity criteria. But proving that the criteria themselves are valid from basic principles is a great...
