Learners watch teacher demonstration of distance formula, view non-collinear cities on maps, plot points on coordinate plane, evaluate square roots, compute distance between two points, and use Heron's formula to find area of triangles.

How do you calculate problems in alternate dimensions? The interactive allows learners to manipulate points in 2-D as scholars explore the relationship the points must have to create a one-dimensional object. Pupils identify objects that...

Try to keep the pipe short. Learners investigate where to place a water pump to use the least amount of pipe. Scholars use their knowledge of reflections and congruent triangles to find the best location for the water pump. Finally, they...

Geometry is more than just vocabulary. Pupils learn the basic geometric definitions and how to identify and name points, lines, and planes. Though the first lesson is packed with related vocabulary, scholars experience four postulates...

Add a little algebra to the geometry. Class members learn about the Addition Postulate for segments and angles. The pupils use their knowledge of solving equations to find lengths of segments and measures of angles. Individuals apply...

In this planes activity, high schoolers solve 5 multiple choice problems. Students determine which planes intersecting create a given line. High schoolers determine which point is coplanar with three other ones.

Students view examples of a ray, opposite rays, collinear rays, angles, and straight angles. They discuss and demonstrate how to use a protractor and complete worksheet problems on rays and angles.

More than just a worksheet, the resource provides a thorough guide to navigate through the land of parallelograms. Filled with definitions and theorems, the resource supports learners through problems such as proofs and finding missing...

In this points, lines, planes, and space worksheet, learners solve word problems dealing with points, lines, planes, and space. Students complete 20 individual problems and 20 group problems.

Triangle centers and the segments that create them easily become an exercise in memorization, without the help of engaging applications like this lesson. Here the class investigates the measure of center that is equidistant to the three...

Represent motion with arrows and call them vectors! The lesson is a presentation that models the mathematics involved when determining a resultant vector. It addrssses motions that are parallel, perpendicular, and a combination of...

In Utah, one stretch of highway goes for 106 miles without a single gas station. Where should people build one? Scholars face the dilemma of where to place a new gas station between three cities. They consider distance and proximity to...

Challenge: create an assessment that features higher level thinking from beginning to end. A ready-made test assesses knowledge of dilations using performance tasks. Every question requires a developed written response. 

How do dilated line segments relate? Lead the class in an activity to determine the relationship between line segments and their dilated images. In the fourth section in a unit of 16, pupils discover the dilated line...

Challenge the young mathematicians to find the exact coordinates of a dilated point. The fifth segment in a 16-part series introduces the class to the converse of the Fundamental Theorem of Similarity. Scholars use the theorem to...

What happens when rotating an image 180 degrees? The sixth lesson in the series of 18 takes a look at this question. Learners discover the pattern associated with 180-degree rotations. They then use transparency paper to perform the...

In this derivative worksheet, students derive the equation of a plane containing given points. This one-page worksheet contains eight multi-step problems.

Young scholars investigate the best way to calculate the measurements of an area. In this geometry lesson, students relate a large circle to a cylinder and its measurements. They use PVC pipes to gain hands on experience as they...

In this algebra learning exercise, students solve linear equations using one and two steps. They solve systems of equations using substitution and elimination with graphing. There are links for ready made tests and quizzes.

In this geometry worksheet, students answer questions about midpoints, distance, lines and segments. They are given different shapes and asked to calculate the angles, and sides of polygons.

Students measure angles using a protractor. In this geometry instructional activity, students solve for the missing angles using equations set to the theorem of triangles. They measure missing angles through construction and identify...
