Learn through constructions! Learners examine a translation using constructions and define the translation using a vector. Pupils then construct parallel lines to determine the location of a translated image and use the vector as a guide.

Mathematics set notation can be represented through a computer program loop. Making the connection to a computer program loop helps pupils see the process that set notation describes. The activity allows for different types domain and...

Learners examine objects and find their volumes using geometric formulas in the 21st installment of this 25-part module. Objects take the shape of truncated cones and pyramids, and individuals apply concepts of similar triangles to find...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

Introduce gas laws using the popular topic of SCUBA diving. This activity makes a connection between the gas laws and the effect of pressure and temperature changes during diving. Young engineers complete introductory experiments to...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a learning exercise that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Let knowledge grow bountifully like plants in a garden. Given a diagram of a rectangular garden split into plots, scholars determine the area of the entire garden and the areas of the individual plots. As a culminating activity, they...

In this coordinate plane worksheet, students identify and name ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They plot and label points on a coordinate plane. This one-page worksheet contains 23 problems.

In this inclined planes worksheet, students find machines at home that screw and record the object and the direction of the screw. Students find 5 machines.

In this point set worksheet, students explore definitions describing planar point sets. They use the definitions to describe examples of point sets. This two-page worksheet contains four problems and 15 definitions.

In this math worksheet, students look for the relationships between ordered pairs. They find the missing values and plot them on the x and y axis.

Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

For this basic worksheet on plotting coordinate points, student practice how to describe where an ordered pair is located on a graph.This activity can provide a short review of material covered in class.

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry instructional activity, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines,...

Students view a video about cost of materials. They work together to develop their own backpack taking note of the cost of materials. They create an advertisement to accompany their creation. They share their ideas with the class.

In this mirrors learning exercise, students will design and draw their creation of a "Crazy Mirror Room." They must use a combination of convex, concave, and plane mirrors and they must write a description of what a person's reflection...

In this math worksheet, students are given 4 tables of x-y coordinates and a grid. Students figure the relationship between the x and y coordinate and plot the points. Students then use a given rule to find the y coordinate.

Students examine why some objects float or sink. In this physics lesson, students engage in several mini-experiments which challenge them to draw their own conclusions regarding why certain objects sink or float. An example of one...

Tenth graders investigate the carbon monoxide level at a fixed latitude to determine if there is a relationship to population density. They download data sets and generate a graph, and find locations using the Earth's coordinate system....

In this ordered pair and linear systems worksheet, students problem solve two equations involving ordered pairs and solving linear systems by graphing.

Pupils practice multiplying and dividing whole numbers by fractions. They study the multiplicative identity property that states that the product of any number and 1 is that number. They multiply whole numbers by fractions close to 1 and...

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Here is a study guide on transformations that includes reflections, translations, dilations, and rotations. It also has definitions, helpful diagrams, and several examples involving transformations on the coordinate plane. The lesson...
