It's no fun catching a fungus. Scholars first investigate how the seasons affect the angle of the sun and the lengths of shadows. They then apply right triangle trigonometry to determine the height of trees based on their shadows to...

Students explore the concept of triangles.  In this triangles lesson, students are to propose a plan for a ramp at their school.  Students use the Pythagorean Theorem and trigonometry to determine the length, height, and angle...

Just about every public building that your students are familiar with has an access ramp which complies with ADA requirements. As it turns out, designing such a ramp is an excellent activity to incorporate slope, the Pythagorean Theorem,...

Young scholars measure distances using parallax. In this math activity, students explain how this method helped astronomers with their studies of the solar system. They determine the length of their arm using parallax and compare it with...

Students use the inequality theorem to solve triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students are given spaghetti of different lengths and asked to create triangles. They conclude the necessary length needed to make a...
