In this solids worksheet, students compute the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, spheres and cones.  This seven-page worksheet contains approximately 68 problems. 

Eighth graders pick a topic or person to research related to the history of mathematics. They brainstorm and create a concept map, using the multimedia software inspiration, about what they are researching and want to examine. They then...

Students investigate the history of Television by using the Internet.  In this timeline lesson, students discuss and take notes on the 10 main events in Television history and create a timeline through education software....

Students follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...

Fourth graders complete a variety of activities as they study the European exploration of the Midwest, focusing on Indiana. They map the path explorers took, comparing the British with the French. They research why the explorers stopped...

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

Learners find the altitude of the Sun at 10 A.M., at solar noon, and at 2 P.M. by measuring the height of the gnomon and the length of the shadow at each time. They record the measurements in their notebooks for later conversion.

High schoolers study elevation of the Sun above the horizon and the angle of the rays and their heating power.

What if a coordinate plane becomes a slope-intercept plane? What does the graph of a linear function look like? Learners explore these questions by graphing the y-intercept of a linear equation as a function of its slope. The result is a...

In this algebra instructional activity, learners solve 2 multi-step problems, where they use linear functions to determine the equation of a line.

In this math worksheet, students determine if the information is used to describe a line. They examine the parametric and symmetric equations.

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry activity, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

In this math worksheet, students complete the practice exam that asks for the solution to the parametric equation. Also they name the perpendicular line in relation to it.

Seventh graders investigate some concepts associated with geometric shapes. They study the bisector segment and the perpendicular line to a given line. Students conduct analysis with the goal of deepening observation and deduction...

Students find the orthocenter of a triangle. In this geometry activity, students identify where the altitudes meet in a triangle. They use Cabri software to explore acute, obtuse and right triangles.

In this review for midterm, students use parametric equations to find points on a curve, explore conic sections, write vector functions, and sketch cylindrical coordinates. This two-page review contains 10 multi-step problems.

Learners use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Students find missing angles and sides of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students create intersecting lines to measure angles. They use Cabri Software to create virtual angles.

Pupils examine how archaeologists preserve context of sites through use of rectangular grid or Cartesian coordinate system, and develop sense of distance by pacing off and estimating distances.

Students observe and solve examples of betweenness, ruler postulate, and segment addition postulate. They complete the Finding the Measure of Segments worksheet using the distance formula.

Fourth graders discover how to apply the Cartesian coordinate system by figuring out the length and width of their school playground. They determine that pacing is an important tool for the initial mapping of a site. Students conduct a...

In this parabolas learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 15 different problems related to parabolas. First, they define parabola and its information related to graphing one. Then, students write each equation in standard...
