Think you can solve the energy problem? You'll first need to know about current energy use. Analyzing a set of circle graphs lets scholars see where energy consumption is the greatest, both by sector and by household use. They develop a...

Communication is the key. A presentation provides 25 sample items for Claim 3, Communicating Reasoning, for the Smarter Balanced High School Math assessment. Items require pupils to answer the question and provide logical reasoning to...

In this area, perimeter and circumference worksheet, students determine radius and circumference of given circles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students identify the equation to represent a circle. In this algebra instructional activity, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the...

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. For this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

This multiple-choice assessment on the Renaissance and Reformation reviews topics from humanism and the protests of Martin Luther to Italian city-states. While this is a traditional assessment designed by a textbook publisher, you can...

Students solve problems involving area. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of an object and relate it to the area of the ocean. They define what exactly and area is and then solve problems relating to the real world.

Teach how to differentiate between chords and perpendicular bisectors. For this geometry lesson, high schoolers relate the properties of chords and circle to solving right triangle. They define what makes two chords congruent in side a...

In this geometry worksheet, students solve right angle triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem. They calculate the area and sides of triangles and circles. There are 52 questions total.

Students construct the circumcenter of a triangle. In this constructing the circumcenter of a triangle lesson plan, students construct a triangle using Cabri Jr. Students draw perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle....

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders define surface area, net and lateral face. They calculate the surface areas of cones, prisms and cubes. There are 9 surface area questions.

In this Sun and Moon worksheet, students solve 6 problems about the angular scale of the images given, the size of the features on the images and the area of the features shown.

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...

Students examine the layers of the earth and the basic composition and thickness of each. Using construction paper, each student models the layers of the earth.

Your class will use a set scale to convert diameters of planets to the model size, the diagram given to expand on the number of planets drawn as concentric circles, and examine the scale that would be needed to fit the larger...

There's a lot of thought that goes into setting up safe and supportive classroom environments. From establishing a whole group meeting area and arranging desks, to organizing classroom supplies and creating bulletin board displays,...
