Linear Piecewise Functions
Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson plan, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students...
Curated OER
Area of Composite Figure.
Tenth graders predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive...
Curated OER
Photographic Composites
Students practice photo manipulation and combination in order to create new images. Using composite photos, students mix them together to produce new photographs. They conceal stitch lines to create realistic forgeries of composite images..
Curated OER
Mathematics: Prime and Composite Numbers
Sixth graders explore how to apply the commutative property and the rules of divisibility. They examine the difference between prime and composite numbers.
Curated OER
Prime and Composite Numbers
Sixth graders inspect prime and composite numbers. Using graph paper, they draw as many different shaped rectangles as possible. They use the dimensions of the rectangles to discuss prime and composite numbers. Students create a chart...

Module 8: Modeling With Functions
Sometimes there just isn't a parent function that fits the situation. Help scholars learn to combine function types through operations and compositions. Learners first explore a new concept with an introductory activity and then follow...
Curated OER
Geometry Worksheet: Area (4)
In this geometry learning exercise, students calculate the shaded area of given shapes. They determine the area around a circle, a portion of a rectangle, and composite figures. THis one-page learning exercise contains two multi-step...
Illustrative Mathematics
Paper Clip
With minimal setup and maximum freedom, young geometers are encouraged to think outside the box on a seemingly simple application problem. Though the task seems simple, measuring a given paper clip and finding how many 10 meters can...
Mathematics Assessment Project
Candle Box
Individuals draw a net for a hexagonal pyramid — with some stipulations. The net must contain the printed images so they appear correctly on the box, along with tabs to glue the box together.
Curated OER
Measurement
Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D shapes. Students use graph paper to...

Landforms from Volcanoes
Three major types of volcanoes exist: cinder cone, composite/strata, and shield. The 18th lesson in a 20-part series covers the various landforms created from volcanoes. Scholars work in pairs to correctly identify the three types based...
Brigham Young University
Understanding Design, Composition, and Color
The set for a play combines design elements (style, line, shape, mass, measure, position, color, and texture) and principles of composition (unity, harmony, contrast, variation, balance, proportion, and emphasis) to create a particular...
