In this math worksheet, high schoolers are asked to read the book that focuses upon the creation and explanation of three dimensional shapes.

Students study relationships between angles, side lengths, perimeters, areas and volumes of similar objects. In this lesson students also create and critique inductive and deductive arguments concerning congruency, similarity and the...

Fifth graders receive a brief history of Pascal's triangle. As a class the students construct the first few rows of the triangle. The students are then split into groups where they finish a worksheet identifying the total value of each...

In the probability and statistics worksheet, students determine the probability of an event occurring.  The one page worksheet contains one multiple choice question with the solution.

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry instructional activity, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Students differentiate between different planes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between a plane and a sphere. They discuss the Great Circle, Geodesic and Lune as it relates to the earth.

Students evaluate the impact of the Chaffey brothers and Charles Frankish on Ontario, California, and compare their efforts with those of similarly important figures in their own community's history.

Students engage in a instructional activity that is about an introduction to the course of calculus. They practice some of the basic concepts and solve some problems applying different principals of calculus. The teacher uses the sample...

Students examine the idea of "regularity" as it pertains to geometry.  For this geometry lesson students complete several assignments that are part of trihedral angles and regular polyhedrons.

An extensive discussion of the Elements, which contains all the geometrical knowledge available in the Hellenistic period.

Euclid, known as the "Father of Geometry," developed several of modern geometry's most enduring theorems--but what can we make of his mysterious fifth postulate, the parallel postulate? Jeff Dekofsky shows us how mathematical minds have...

This lesson focuses on Euclid's Axioms, simple, intuitive statements, that everyone agrees are true. An axiom(or postulate) is a mathematical statement that is regarded as "self-evident" and accepted without proof. A key part of...

General information about the life and writings of Euclid.
