Curated OER
Exploring Geometric Mean
Students solve problems using geometric means. In this geometry instructional activity, students create altitudes in right triangles. They use Cabri software to move the triangle around and observe different sides and angles.
Curated OER
Exploring Geometric Mean
Student identify the solution using geometric mean. In this geometry lesson, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri software and observe...
Curated OER
Exploring the Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Pupils calculate the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines.In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They graph their lines using the slope of the equation.
Curated OER
Exploring the Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines.
Learners find the slopes for perpendicular and parallel lines. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri software to create lines to compare.
Curated OER
Comparison of Images Formed by Plane, Cylindrical, and Spherical Mirrors
Students observe how reflections differ in various types of mirrors. For this reflection lesson, students use cylindrical mirrors, plane mirrors, and concave mirrors to observe how each reflects the student's face.
Curated OER
Comparison of Images Formed by Plane, Cylindrical (concave side), and Spherical (concave side) Mirrors
Students study mirrors and see how images can be reversed. In this reflection activity students demonstrate that all mirrors reverse images and that the apparent right to left reversal in a plane mirror is a result of that reversal.
