Constructing Reflections
An informative video and handout provide the basic information needed to reflect any pre-image across either of the axes on the coordinate plane. The printed resource provides a preview of reflecting across lines other than an axis....

Constructing Rotations
An instructive lesson provides the basics on how to perform rotations on the coordinate plane. The handout also covers rotating about a point other than the origin and how to perform a series of transformations.

Graphing the Sine and Cosine Functions
Doing is more effective than watching. Learners use spaghetti to discover the relationship between the unit circle and the graph of the sine and cosine functions. As they measure lengths on the unit circle and transfer them to a...

Spacecraft Speed
Space shuttles traveled around Earth at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, way faster than trains, planes, or automobiles travel! In the 13th installment of 22, groups graph different speeds to show how quickly spacecraft move through...

Introduction to Real Air Traffic Control—Problem Set A
Understand what it takes to control planes safely. The first lesson in a series of six introduces the class to the air traffic control situation. The pupils develop their understanding of units used in air travel, then learn how to read...

Let's Get it There Fast
Are planes the best shipping method? Using maps, pupils determine the fastest mode of transportation between two cities. Given a list of items to ship, groups decide the best shipping method to finish the 18th segment of a 22-part unit.

Writing and Sketching I
Writing and sketching functions—what more could you want to do? Learners write and sketch functions that meet certain conditions as they complete a short task. They find a parabola that encompasses three quadrants of the coordinate plane...

Circling
Come full circle in learning about conic sections. Learners first look at the type of conic section formed when concentric circles intersect a standard coordinate plane. They then see which type forms when two sets of concentric circles...

Flying High
Some planes are just more efficient than others. Young mathematicians use data on the number of seats, airborne speed, flight length, fuel consumption, and operating cost for airplanes to analyze their efficiency. They select and use...

Coordinates and Shapes
Where is the point? Given three points on the coordinate plane, the video walks through the steps to find the location of the fourth point to create a given special quadrilateral. The narrator first determines the coordinates of the...

Shortest Distance between Line and Point
A short video shows how to find the shortest distance between a line and a point on the coordinate plane. Using the fact the shortest distance is the perpendicular, the presenter shows the class how to find the intersection of the two...
PHET
Graphing Lines
Ready to increase pupils' understanding of slope with an upward slope? Scholars use an interactive that allows users to move two points on a coordinate plane. The interactive then automatically calculates the slope, the slope-intercept...
Corbett Maths
Transformations: Translations
Slide into vector transformations. Column vectors define the translation of figures by defining the number of units to move horizontally and vertically on the coordinate graph. Pupils develop an understanding of how to read the...

WWII: The Atlantic 1939-45 – Battle of the Atlantic
The most dangerous line of attack during World War II wasn't the German planes soaring above Britain, but the U-Boats cutting off their supplies of food and equipment. Learners research the Battle of the Atlantic, the German campaign to...
Concord Consortium
Rational and Not So Rational Functions
Do not cross the line while graphing. Provided with several coordinate axes along with asymptotes, pupils determine two functions that will fit the given restrictions. Scholars then determine other geometrical relationships of asymptotes...

Careers in Department of Transportation
Cars, planes, and trains, oh my! Using the informative resource, scholars expand their knowledge about transportation-related careers. As a culminating activity, pupils research and present on a chosen agency within the Department of...

Graphing Lines in Slope-Intercept Form
Put it in slope-intercept form! Learners solve linear equations and sketch a graph of the equation on a coordinate plane. This worksheet contains 12 problems and an answer key.

Rigid Transformations
In this rigid transformation activity, students follow directions to translate, reflect or rotate a figure in a coordinate plane. Examples and explanations are provided at the beginning of the document. This two-page activity contains 16...

Graphing Exponential Functions
Explore the concept of graphing exponential functions. High school mathematicians are given exponential functions such as y=2*3^x, and they graph them on a coordinate plane. They are given two exponential graphs and must write an...

Lesson 2-5: Absolute Value Functions and Graphs
What is absolute value? What is an absolute value function? Emerging mathematicians solve equations containing variables inside an absolute value sign. They graph each function on a coordinate plane and identify the maximum and...

Walk-A-Thon
Students graph linear http://www.lessonplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. For this problem solving lesson, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon, students...

Finding 1 Fewer
Can your kindergartners identify which group of pictures has one fewer? Given three groups of pictures (kites, planes, and butterflies), youngsters count the amount of items and check the box for the group that has one fewer. A great way...
