Build a solid foundation on which to develop future concepts. Through a guided exploration, learners compare and contrast the characteristics of points, lines, planes, rays, and segments. They measure lengths and practice notation for...

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes. They explore the differences between lines, rays, line segments and planes. Students pracice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes.

Young scholars define vocabulary words. In this geometry lesson, students identify the graph as a line, ray or segments. They understand the properties of each and calculate the distance on a number line. 

Student complete worksheet using the definitions of lines and angle vocabulary. They define the word and follow a direction given on the worksheet such "construct a line." They complete an online tutorial on how to measure angles using a...

Add a ray of light to the class as young scientists learn important foundational concepts. Assist pupils with focal lengths as they study ray diagrams. Pupils review images and compare them to mirrored images before solving problems on...

Applying a learned technique to a new type of problem is an important skill in mathematics. The instructional activity asks scholars to apply their understanding to analyze dilations of different figures. They make conjectures and...

Students discover the focal point in pictures and create their own images using lines and space.  In this art analysis lesson, students create a black dot on a white paper which becomes a focal point for the lines the student will...

Students identify lines, and line segments. In this geometry lesson, students divide line segments into equal congruent parts. They complete a laboratory activity dealing with lines and segments.

Students investigate points and angle bisectors. In this geometry lesson, students define angles, bisectors and perpendicular bisectors. They analyze angles and bisectors using Cabri software.

Pupils explore the concept of concurrent lines in triangles. In this concurrent lines in triangles lesson, students work in groups to investigate properties of concurrent lines in acute, right, and obtuse triangles. Pupils use a...

Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

High schoolers investigate harmonic conjugates using Cabri Software or the Ti Calculator to analyze harmonics. They explore different angles measurements as they move their circles around and solve problems.

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and the angles formed when cut by a transversal. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct perpendicular lines and discuss midpoint, segments and perpendicular bisectors. They relate...

To better understand that the intersection point of two lines lies inside a circle, learners use their keen measurement skills. They discuss arcs, rays, tangent lines, and reflex angles. Then, they put their skills to work as they...

Tenth graders define terminologies related to geometry. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders discuss undefined terms, line segment and ray. They answer the question, how many points it takes to make a line.

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

Tenth graders investigate the theorems of angles and lines to prove triagle sum theorem. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders discuss the theorems of triangles and how it is used to solve for missing sides or angles. They review how two...

Young scholars examine their oral hygiene. In this oral hygiene instructional activity, students examine tooth x-rays, molds, and specimens. Young scholars create a record of their own teeth.

Examine the process of rotating images to visualize effects of changes to them. The fifth lesson of 18 prompts pupils to rotate different images to various degrees of rotation. It pays special attention to rotations in multiples of 90...

High schoolers get together in groups to read and learn about the life of film actress Anne Bancroft. After a teacher-led presentation on her life, each of the groups must complete tasks described by the worksheets embedded in the plan....

Turn your class upside down as they explore the reciprocal functions. Scholars use the unit circle to develop the definition of the secant and cosecant functions. They analyze the domain, range, and end behavior of each function.

Protect yourself from identity theft! Establishing a strong understanding of the Pythagorean identity allows learners to prove that sine^2x + cos^2x = 1. They then use the identity to find sine or cosine ratios given the other.

Young scholars explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry instructional activity, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Young scholars analyze shapes as they...
