Starting with the instructions to draw an ellipse, and with great pictures, this sheet should help your pupils learn the shapes and measurements involved. Using push pins and string, your class can discover the axis and focus points...

Encourage kids to read line graphs with confidence using these examples and accompanying comprehension questions. Learners examine two graphs and answer four questions about each. This is definitely intended for beginners to this type of...

What is the relationship between two variables? Groups work together to gather data on arm spans and height. Using the interactive, learners plot the bivariate data, labeling the axes and the graph. The resource allows scholars to create...

Class members use the powers of multiplication in the 19th installment of the 32-part unit has individuals to utilize what they know about the multiplication of complex numbers to calculate the integral powers of a complex...

The class checks to see if the formula for finding powers of a complex number works to find the roots too.  Pupils review the previous day's work and graph on the polar grid. The discussion leads the class to think about...

Students study the history of the paper plane.  In this design instructional activity students create several types of paper planes and determine if there is a difference in mean flight distances.

In this algebra worksheet, students investigate the coordinate plane through graphing, plotting and identifying the different quadrants. They identify vertical and horizontal lines in the coordinate plane. There are 10 questions with an...

In this geometry worksheet, students plot coordinate pairs and connect the points to create different shapes. They give th shapes its polygon's name. They differentiate between simple functions and rectangular hyperbola.

Students experiment with differently shaped mirrors. In this reflection and optics lesson, students investigate the visual effects of reflected images in mirrors. They use plane, cylindrical, and concave mirrors for the activity.

This is a nifty tool to keep on hand, especially when addressing CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.6 standards. It is, simply, a Cartesian coordinate plane with all four quadrants. Give individuals one each, and then call out or write ordered pairs...

For this graphing lines worksheet, students graph lines that are in the point-slope form.  They identify the y-intercept and the slope.  They graph the equation of a line on a coordinate plane.  This four-page...

Students find the coordinates of the vertices of special quadrilaterals placed in the coordinate plane. They find the coordinates of missing vertices of squares and parallelograms.

Seventh graders identify the quadrants and axis of a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders discover the correct way to graph using the coordinate plane. They discuss the relationship between x and y values, domain and...

In this graphing worksheet, students solve and graph linear inequalities on a coordinate plane. Inequalities contain one variable. The solution set is sketched and colored. This worksheet contains eight problems on two pages, with an...

Fifth graders create paper gliders and check for flight distance and time. In this flight lesson, 5th graders create a paper glider from the attached worksheet and adjust the rudder, aileron, and elevator. They see how these adjustments...

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. For this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They classify the lines as parallel or perpendicular and write an equation of a given line.

In this slope instructional activity, students solve and complete 26 various types of problems. First, they find the slope of each line illustrated on the grid. Then, students find the slope of the line through each pair of points. In...

Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.

Learners use simple machines that demonstrate force, friction, work and power. They investigate and explain simple machines.

Students discover the many types of emergency management teams through an interactive program. They review the history of FEMA and the Red Cross. They focus on terrorist attacks and how different groups are trained to respond to the...

Students examine functions and function notation. They use computer activities to discover how to graph functions, and conduct a vertical line test. Students describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.

Fourth graders investigate the principles and uses of gears, and examine how gears can be used to alter the direction of motion or the speed of an object. They observe two cars with different sized wheels roll down an inclined plane,...

Students apply definitions and theorems to verify special quadrilaterals using coordinate geometry. They apply the slope formula, the midpoint formula, and the distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram....

Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.
