Preparing for an AP test is about more than bubble sheets and memorization. The two activities in this resource require a direct application of skills learned throughout an AP Physics course.

In this angles worksheet, students draw the angles described to them and then decide whether it is an acute, right, obtuse, or straight angle. Students complete 4 problems.

Students calculate the different sides and angles of a triangle. In this geometry lesson plan, students use triangular properties to define the relationship between two triangle. They identify missing angles using the interior angle...

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders determine measure of a supplementary angle. Algebra applications are included. The one page interactive instructional activity contains six questions. Hints, clues, and answers are...

In this exterior angles worksheet, 10th graders solve and measure 10 different angles and figures related to exterior angles. First, they determine how many degrees there are in the sum of the exterior angles of a regular heptagon. Then,...

Young scholars identify the interior and exterior measures of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula for interior angles of polygons. They differentiate between triangular and polygons angles.

In this geometry worksheet, students identify the missing sides and angles of triangles. They find the midsegment of each triangle. There are nine questions with an answer key.

Are these angles greater than, less than, or equal to a square corner? Using a visual guide, young geometers label 16 angles into one of these three categories. Use this before introducing the terms acute, obtuse, and right...

Six word problems provide practice for young geometers to review angles, the angle a of straight line, circles, right angles, and others. I like the approach of these questions; they require thinking and explaining, not just computation.

Not only is Wassily Kandinsky fun to say, his art contains tons of angles. Learners discuss Kandinsky's music-inspired abstract art and four types of angles. They search one of his paintings for obtuse, right, straight, and acute angles,...

Rays and angles and Star Wars? It sounds strange, but it's actually a fun game to help fourth graders get good at measuring and identifying angles and rays with a protractor. Each pair of children chooses which Star Wars character they'd...

Are your geometry whizzes learning about angles and shapes? This online worksheet gives 10 multiple choice questions based on images and word problems. Concepts include deducting angle degree, classifying shapes, and identifying angle...

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which is the fairest resource of them all? Individuals write and solve one-step equations for problems about angle measurement, including those involving mirrors. Both mathematical and real-world problems are...

Playing with mathematics can invoke curiosity and excitement. As pupils construct triangles with given criteria, they determine the necessary requirements to support similarity. After determining the criteria, they practice...

What does it take to show two triangles are similar? The 11th segment in a series of 16 introduces the AA Criterion for Similarity. A discussion provides an informal proof of the theorem. Exercises and problems require scholars to apply...

Use the given tasks and detailed teacher's commentary to introduce your 8th graders to the Pythagorean theorem and its converse. Embedded links to information about Egyptian geometry make your presentation interesting. Consider...

Investigate how similar and congruent figures compare. Learners understand congruent figures have congruent sides and angles, but similar figures only have congruent angles — their sides are proportional. After learning the...

Right triangles are so special! Use special right triangles to discover the trigonometric ratios. Pairs construct special right triangles and find the values of the ratios of the sides. In the process, they discover the ratios stay the...

Discover trigonometric ratios that complement each other. Using two videos, the lesson plan introduces the trigonometric ratios. The class discovers the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.

It's all Greek to me. Scholars work a task that Greeks first formulated for an ancient math challenge. Provided with an angle and a point inside the angle, scholars develop conjectures about what is true about the shortest line segment...

Students explore how the angle and distance of an object can change it's temperature. After reviewing how the position of the Earth affects the temperature of the planet, student groups design and perform an experiment to test how...

Geometry could be called the study of figures. An overview of the figures found in a typical geometry course contains a study of different triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons. 

Explore terminology related to water droplets. The sixth installment of a nine-part series teaches young scientists about wetting and contact angles between water droplets and surfaces. It also distinguishes between hydrophobic and...

Advanced lab apprentices prepare zinc and copper solutions to which they will compare the same minerals from a multivitamin. Using absorption spectroscopy, they analyze the contents of the multivitamin for concentration. This lab can be...
