Physics lab groups finagle with laser lights to determine the critical angle of refraction for both water and Lucite. Because there are no detailed steps or an answer key for this enlightening exercise, an inexperienced physics...

Stuck with triangle proofs? Take a 180° and provide learners with a guided learning exercise that tests their knowledge with triangle inequalities. The questions require different types of proofs that range in levels of difficulty. 

Casting, setting, context, frame, camera angle, lighting, soundtrack. Every choice a writer or director makes is conscious. Here's a worksheet that asks readers/viewers to examine these choices and consider how they are used to to...

Host a design challenge of Olympic proportion! Junior engineers build their own bobsleds using simple materials. The activity focuses on kinetic and potential energy and how the center of mass affects motion on a downhill track....

How do you read a frame? How do you read a shot? Here's a resource that shows viewers how to read films. As part of the study, class members examine the camera angles, lighting, movement, and cinematic point of view in Mr. Smith Goes to...

Pupils apply their knowledge of refraction to four different sets of challenges. Each of the first three focus on one variable's impact on the direction of bending. The fourth combines variables for greater challenge.

What a great introduction to the world of angles. See the different types of angles and their corresponding degree measurements. Use the provided assessment to test understanding with a variety of questions. 

After reviewing characteristics of seven types of triangles, young geometers discover how to find the missing angle of a triangle. Then, they practice identifying triangles, find missing angles, and find missing side lengths of...

The Hopewell people of the central Ohio Valley used right triangles in the construction of earthworks. Pupils use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine missing dimensions of right triangles used by the Hopewell people. The assessment task...

Math can be a work of art! Reach your artistic pupils as they explore angle measures. A creative set of five problems of varying levels has young learners study interior and exterior angle measures of polygons. The introductory levels...

Increase the level of assessment rigor with the test of performance tasks. Topics include similar triangles, trigonometric ratios, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and trigonometric problem solving. 

Determine the level of understanding within your classes using a summative assessment. As the final lesson in a 29-part module, the goal is to assess the topics addressed during the unit. Concepts range from linear angle relationships,...

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Using patty paper, classes determine that only one triangle is possible when given two specific angle measures and a side length. As the 10th instructional activity in the series of 29, young math scholars add these criteria to those...

There's more to newspaper articles than meets the eye. Scholars learn the different features of a newspaper article, including headline, byline, subheadings, etc. Pupils circle the features in an article as the teacher discusses their...

Finish out the module with a bang. The last installment of a 36-part module is an end-of-module assessment task. Test takers set up equations to represent relationships and solve problems in an assortment of contexts.

Science, technology, and math come together in this one combination exercise. Analyzing the common soda can from both a purely mathematical perspective and a scientific angle allows for a surprisingly sophisticated comparison of...

Third graders create angle eaters where they use circles with cut outs to identify right, obtuse, and acute angles. Students complete 1 angle eater.

Learners first name angles in three ways, then classify them as acute, obtuse or right angles. Good practice when introducing the concept of different types of angles.

Upper graders examine all angles. In this angle lesson, pupils practice measuring, drawing, and naming angles. They create posters regarding angle vocabulary.

In this measuring angles instructional activity, students draw hands in clock face to depict a given time. Next, they observe the angles created by the hands and determine the number of degrees. Students write proportions to solve the...

Students identify names of angles. They use a large clock to demonstrate angles using certain times of day. Given a geoboard, students create figures with acute, right, and obtuse angles.
