Make the connection between the distance formula and the equation of a circle. The teacher presents a lesson on how to use the distance formula to derive the equation of the circle. Pupils transform circles on the coordinate plane and...

Bioenergetics strives to describe how living things gain and transform energy for biological purposes. First, pupils learn about the types of energy before exploring the importance of energy in biological processes. Next, they discover...

After a discussion of chemical reactions and electricity, scholars break into groups and follow a scripted activity to discover if fruit can power a clock. After a concluding discussion, the class a presented with a challenge.

Many people think they can't observe plate tectonics, but thanks to GPS, we know that Australia moves at a rate of 2.7 inches per year, North America at 1 inches per year, and the Pacific plate at more than 3 inches per year! Scholars...

Young scholars practice moving different shaped objects through a series of transformations. In groups, they discuss other ways to manipulate the figure to achieve the same results. They solve multiple story problems in the same manner.

Geometers explore symmetries of isosceles triangles by using rigid transformations of the plane. They complete four tasks, including congruence proofs, which illustrate the relationship between congruence and rigid transformations. The...

Students investigate geometry with the use of a creative project. They review relevant vocabulary that includes turn, flip, side, and angles. Students also practice conducting transformations used as inspiration for the project. Then...

Fifth graders duplicate patterns, guess pattern results and identify the symmetries created. They are given an instructional handout, 5th graders replicate the patterns demonstrated by folding the paper and punching the appropriate...

Students explore movement in dance routines. They observe movements and transform everyday gestures into choregraphy. Through activities, students develop improvisational skills. They evaluate and critique work.

In this math worksheet, students sketch the regions that give rise to three integrals. They find the volume of a solid in the first octant bounded by a defined cylinder and a parabaloid. Students change a function to polar coordinates....

OK, so maybe graphing linear equations can be fun. This activity includes a set of linear equation cards to be cut and place face up on a table. Learners pick a card and match it to the correct graph card. This is a really fun way to...

Young scholars explore slope as a rate of change. In this eighth grade mathematics lesson, students investigate real-world problems to determine rate of change and transform it into a linear representation, thus determining slope. Young...

This handout presents the appropriate times to use the active voice and the passive voice with examples and a short exercise. After reading through the information and examples, pupils transform passive sentences into active sentences. A...

This activity focuses in on the structure of an equation and how it compares to another. Young algebraists are tasked with grouping together equations that have the same solution by focusing on the transformation of the equations rather...

Imperial storm troopers make a special guest appearance in this resource designed as a behavior primer for young visitors to a museum. 

In this glide reflection worksheet, students draw and answer questions about reflections of different shapes. Students answer 5 questions.

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

In this math activity, students practice constructing reflections of shapes already present in a grid-based graph. This simple activity has 12 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students respond to 4 short answer and essay questions based on themes in All the King's Men. Students may also complete their choice of 3 reading activities suggested.

Students analyze different polygons by shapes and sides. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They name the different polygons based on the number of sides.

Students investigate and study logarithmic equations. In this precalculus lesson, students analyze the data behind the function. They define each graph as positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Learners explain their role as consumers. They use a purchased calorimeter or make their own simple calorimeter to measure the energy content in selected foods. This interesting instructional activity really gets students thinking about...

Seventh graders investigate the relationship between energy and matter, and measure the mass of various objects. They listen to a teacher-led lecture about potential energy, and in small groups measure the mass of various objects such...
