Learners explore the concept of sine. In this sine lesson plan, students create a sine graph from tooth picks. Learners create a unit circle with tooth pick length radius. Students then take the tooth picks from the unit circle and put...

Students engage in a study that is intended to be a review for a calculus exam. They practice using a review study sheet to go over some of the major concepts. The review includes using parabolas, length of arc, and volume of solids of...

NASA's LCROSS mission is dropping a probe into a lunar crater. Groups design a system to travel down a zip line and drop a marble onto a target in the classroom. The groups then modify their designs based upon testing. 

In this area of sector worksheet, students solve a total of 6 problems, finding area of sector using radius and length of arc. An answer key is provided.

In this perimeter activity, students calculate perimeter of sector using given radius and length of arc. An answer key is included.

In this angles in circles worksheet, students explore angles outside a circle. Using given trigonometric ratios, they find the missing angle measurement or the length of a line. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Students draw and print two-dimensional objects, by accessing commands and short cuts and options. They customize their modeling environment, create basic graphic objects - lines, circles, arcs, curves, solids, and surfaces, and draw...

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Students research the Middle Ages. In this Middle Ages lesson, students complete lessons about feudalism, life on a manor, chivalry and knighthood, an activity about the Battle of Hastings, the growth of Middle Age towns, the trial by...

Students calculate the length of an arc that surrounds an angle at the center of a circle of radius.  In this kinetic equations lesson students complete a lab and solve a kinematic equation.

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...
