In this van Allen Radiation Belts worksheet, students are given the formula for the field line of the Earth's inner magnetic field. Students use this equation to find the polar coordinates of a field line in the van Allen Belts. They...

Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...

Young scholars discuss the concepts of reflection, rotation, and translation. In this rotation activity, students investigate rotations through examples on an overhead projector. No additional worksheet or student assignment is included.

Sixth graders discuss the characteristics of specific angles and then use the information to to identify and estimate given angles. The class goes outside, identifies north, and turns a specified amount of degrees. Using a given compass,...

Build right angles using coordinate geometry! Pupils explore the concept of slope related to perpendicular lines by examining 90-degree rotations of right triangles. Learners determine the slope of the hypotenuse becomes the opposite...

Knowing the addition formulas allows for the calculations of double and half formulas. The fourth installment of 16 has the class use the addition formula to develop the double angle trigonometric formulas. Using the double formula,...

Turn your class upside down as they explore the reciprocal functions. Scholars use the unit circle to develop the definition of the secant and cosecant functions. They analyze the domain, range, and end behavior of each function.

Can people really measure time just by using the sun? Scholars venture outside on a nice, sunny day to build sundials and learn how people measured time 600 years ago. The class builds two different sundials while gaining practice with...

students conduct an experiment by attaching a belt to a chair. Then they investigate the math concept for how something can rotate in three dimensional space. They graph the solution.

Students define reflection, rotation and symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students move the graph around the coordinate plane and identify the line of symmetry. They identify the different designs of a kaleidoscope.

Middle schoolers devise procedures for using a protractor to measure the number of degrees in an angle. They use inductive reasoning skills to construct their own method for effectively using the protractor to measure angles, as well as,...

Young scholars perform reflections and translations of polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students perform reflection in two parallel lines. They use Cabri to observe the transformation and rotations of each shape.
