Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

Use a triangle area formula that works when the height is unknown. The eighth installment in a 16-part series on trigonometry revisits the trigonometric triangle area formula that previously was shown to work with the acute triangles....

Students identify and create angles. In this angle measurement lesson, students use sticks to make models of angles, then measure and name each angle.

Students compare and contrast angles and identify them as acute, obtuse, right, or straight angles. They create rays and angles using uncooked spaghetti, read and discuss key vocabulary terms, and complete a variety of geometry worksheets.

In this transformations activity, 7th graders measure 10 different figures related to rotation. First, they determine the measure of the angle between blades of a windmill. Then, students determine the rotation clockwise and then...

To better understand that the intersection point of two lines lies inside a circle, learners use their keen measurement skills. They discuss arcs, rays, tangent lines, and reflex angles. Then, they put their skills to work as they...

Why do we have four seasons? A series of questions about the Earth's orbit and its impact on seasons challenge Earth science students.The second page of the resource has nine multiple choice questions, such as "One year on Earth is one...

Here is a very interesting way of studying triangles and polygons. Pupils work together and use pieces of string to create a variety of shapes. Depending on how many kids are manipulating the string at any one time, the number of...

Winter, spring, summer, and fall—take the learning of the seasons beyond the elementary level to the middle school classroom. Curious learners begin by watching videos about the seasons and the rotation of planet Earth. Then,...

Show your class one way in which art and math are related by teaching them about M.C. Escher. Class members read a brief passage and then respond to five related questions.

This amazingly extensive unit covers a wealth of geometric ground, ranging from constructions to angle properties, triangle theorems, rigid transformations, and fundamentals of formal proofs.  Each of the almost-forty lessons...

Students define and identify transformation and rotation. In this geometry instructional activity, students define rotations as congruence or isometry. They find the coordinates of an image and pre-image.

High schoolers identify the relationship between angles and arcs. For this geometry lesson, students rotate and move the circle around to create different arcs on the TI-Navigator. They differentiate between major and minor arcs.

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Take a ride on a Ferris wheel. Using sliders to adjust the parameters of a Ferris wheel, pupils investigate the height of a point over time. The interactive traces out the curve on a time-height graph. Learners use what they learned to...

In molecules, bonds rotate about the nucleus due to the repulsion of subatomic particles. In a simulation, learners manipulate the bonds of a molecule to meet the atoms' needs. They can then see the specific molecular shapes of five...

In this geometry worksheet, students identify the different measure of each angle. They rotate the rays around and make observations about the angles formed. There are 15 questions and lots of examples.

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

Circles, circles, everywhere! Pupils learn all about circles, central angles, inscribed angles, circle theorems, arc length, area of sectors, and radian measure using a set of 12 lessons. They then discover volume formulas through...

Students explore the earth's rotation and phases of the moon. In this planets lesson, students rotate and revolve around a light representing the sun. Students use movement and props to simulate what causes the phases of the moon as well...

In this tessellations instructional activity, students answer questions about the characteristics of tessellations.  They identify polygons that will and will not tessellate.  Students determine the sum of angles in a...

For this frames of reference worksheet, students solve 5 problems given the details of a journey an ant takes from the center of a CD ROM to its edge. Students draw a scaled sketch of the turntable showing the motion of the ant from...

In this angle instructional activity, students answer forty mental math questions divided into four problem sets.  These problems require students to remember angle facts and so simple calculations mentally.
