Individuals learn to apply the Euclidean algorithm to find the greatest common factor of two numbers. Additionally, the lesson connects greatest common factor to the largest square that can be drawn in a rectangle.

Challenge your scholars to show what they know about the Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and inverses. The six-question assessment is the last in a series of 16. Pupils find the area of triangles and show that the Law of Sines and Law of...

What a great classroom resource! The intention of this lesson is to show that real-world math can and should be applied to the community in which your high schoolers reside. The class relates properties of equations to solving for...

In this derivative worksheet, students use Newton's Method for finding the roots of a function. They identify the local extrema and discuss ways in which Newton's Method can fail. This one-page worksheet contains four problems.

In this derivatives worksheet, students sketch the graph of a function by determining the local maxima, minima and inflection points. They graph a second function when given the interval. Students solve two word problems involving...

Circles aren't functions, so how is it possible to write the equation for a circle? Pupils first develop the equation of a circle through application of the Pythagorean Theorem. The lesson then provides an exercise set for learners to...

Our teacher told us the formula had one-third, but why? Using manipulatives, classmates try to explain the volume formula for a pyramid. After constructing a cube with six congruent pyramids, pupils use scaling principles from...

Find Pythagorean Triples like the ancient Babylonians. The resource presents the concept of Pythagorean Triples. It provides the system of equations the Babylonians used to calculate Pythagorean Triples more than 4,000 years ago. Pupils...

In this derivative worksheet, students use the second derivative test to determine the maxima and minima of given functions. They explore real life problems to complete the optimization of a problem. This two-page worksheet contains...

How do you fit a tape measure around the Earth? No need if you know a little geometry! Pupils begin by extending their understanding of the Side Splitter Theorem to a transversal cut by parallel lines. Once they identify the...

Everything the class knows about similarity in one small package. The last portion of a 16-part series is a three-question assessment. In it, pupils demonstrate their application of similar figures and their associated...

Using a similar process from the first lesson plan in the series of finding area approximations, a measurement resource develops the proof of the area of a circle. The problem set contains a derivation of the proof of the...

Build upon the Pythagorean Theorem with the Law of Cosines. The 10th part of a 16-part series introduces the Law of Cosines. Class members use the the geometric representation of the Pythagorean Theorem to develop a proof of the Law of...

Breaking the law in math doesn't get you jail time, but it does get you a wrong answer! After developing the Law of Sines and Cosines in activity 33 of 36, the resource asks learners to apply the laws to different situations. Pupils must...

Examine the usefulness of matrices when solving linear systems of higher dimensions. The lesson asks learners to write and solve systems of linear equations in four and five variables. Using matrices, pupils solve the systems and apply...

Use the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines to solve problems using the sums of vectors. Pupils work on several different types of real-world problems that can be modeled using triangles with three known measurements. In the process,...

An interactive presents two friends on a ferris wheel with the task of finding the distance between the them. Pupils create the chord between the two friends and calculate its lengths using trigonometric ratios.

You say that perpendicular bisectors intersect at a point? I concur! Learners investigate points of concurrencies, specifically, circumcenters and incenters, by constructing perpendicular and angle bisectors of various triangles.

Stay a while—and learn about rates of change. Scholars learn about rates of change not related to motion by watching an informative video. They see how to interpret derivatives in different contexts, paying particular attention to...
