Students are shown the conversion formula. In this conversion between polar and cartesian coordinates lesson, students are presented with a formula for converting between two types of coordinates. Two examples are included in the lesson....

Students using clay and a toothpick, shape the clay into a "mountain" upon which they make a road that is the shortest in distance. They measure the length of their road and then make a road that is the longest in distance without...

Eighth graders form a human coordinate grid to develop knowledge of the placement and meaning of coordinates on a grid. They experience the placements of the x and y coordinates in an ordered pair.

Learners break into small groups with each group using 3 books, a board with pulleys attached at both ends, a toy cart, a small paper cup with a long piece of string attached the end and some pennies. They test their guesses to see if it...

For this transformations worksheet, students review the terms and example diagrams for a translation, reflection, and rotation. Students then identify the coordinates for a triangle after completing the given transformations in the four...

Students examine the important issue of plane safety. In groups, they are introduced to how NASA determines if it is safe to fly on a particular day given certain conditions. They use the internet to research the types of tools and...

Students review graphing and use processing skills to solve problems.

Students determine the contact angle of water on different surfaces. For this physics lesson, students calculate their percent error using a mathematical formula. They explain the advantages of using non-wetting surface for certain...

For this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students examine slope to determine if the given lines are parallel or perpendicular.  Students determine the equation of lines that are either parallel or perpendicular to the given...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are given polygons on a coordinate plane. They calculate the area and perimeter of each shape, by counting the length of each square on the graph.

Whether you are learning or teaching American Sign Language, a thorough resource on the ways to depict different hand symbols is sure to enhance your journey into proficiency. With sections on different hand symbol groups, including...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Use this task as an exit ticket for your eight graders during the geometry unit. All they need to do is identify the coordinates of a point reflected over y=2000. 

Make your classroom interesting by teaching or assessing through tasks. Deepen the understanding of Geometry and motivate young mathematicians. The task uses investigation with tennis balls and their container to prompt learners to...

Consistency is the key. One lemon wedge per glass of water makes a nice glass of lemonade. Young scholars must identify the number of lemon wedges they need to make the same lemonade in a big gulp cup. They develop their own...

Two triangles are displayed on a coordinate plane. Youngsters apply a reflection and a translation to demonstrate their congruence. This exercise makes a terrific tool for teaching these concepts, or a way to assess learning.
