Learners discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

A quick pre-assessment before you class starts the Volleyball unit. There are some matching questions, a couple of fill-in-the-blanks, and a couple of short-answer questions covering basic knowledge of volleyball. An answer sheet is...

Boat safety lesson 18 is all about the wake board.  The class learns the terminology about wake boards and discusses the different types of ropes used. Much of the information regarding boating basics, personal floatation devices,...

Students give directions to help a classmate find an object. In this direction lesson, students tell the finder where to travel and how many steps to take. More difficult directions include angled turns.

Students observe the state changes in water. In this matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. Students explore how water can change from a solid to a liquid then back again. They journal their...

In this precalculus instructional activity, students show their mastery of terminal side angles, conversion form degrees to radians and supplementary angles. There are 16 questions on this test.

Students investigate the magnitude of Earth's magnetic field using PASCO. In this physics lesson, students describe the features of the magnetosphere. They explain how atmosphere layers protect the Earth.

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers examine the fractional parts in order to determine the degree equivalent within a circle. Then they do the same using drawn circles.

In this motion worksheet, students calculate the initial angular acceleration, and the angular speed before and after impact for different objects. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

Third graders complete a diagram of the revolution of the earth around the sun and write a one paragraph explanation of the factors that cause seasons.

Students use web applet to create congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar. They create shapes online and drag those shapes around to create visuals of triangles.

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Middle schoolers make patterns with a variety of pattern blocks. Pupils experiment with making tile designs using only one shape by rotating that shape around a point. They enter a contest for creating the best tile design for the new...

Students convert angle measures between degrees and radians. They are given a copy of the task sheet with a graphic to help describe the situation. Pupils review the angle and arc relationship in a circle related to length of the...

Students investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry instructional activity, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory....

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Students explore the concept of congruent triangles.  In this congruent triangles activity, students use Cabri Jr. to construct two congruent triangles using circles.  Students determine if the two triangles are congruent by...

Learners investigate the process necessary to construct regular polygons. They explore the degree measures of the angles in a regular polygon. Using this information and technology in the form of Cabri Jr., your pupils will construct...

In this alkanes and conformation worksheet, students name 10 different alkanes, they write the structural formulas for 4 alkanes, and they write Newman projections for 2-methylbutane. They also write structure of stable conformations for...

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

Students classify, flip, slide, and turn a quantity of quadrilaterals.

Middle schoolers study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Middle schoolers complete worksheets based on...

High schoolers solve problems dealing with points, lines and planes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel lines and planes. They find the intersection of lines and planes.

Learners address a major misconception in astronomy, the understanding of scale. The lesson is designed to introduce students to both celestial coordinates and to the first rung on the distance determination ladder, parallax.
