Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

In this tessellations instructional activity, 10th graders solve 6 different types of tessellation problems that includes drawing. First, they define polygon, regular polygon, tessellation, regular tessellation, and semi-regular...

Students read the book The Math Curse by Jon Scieszka and study geometry. In this geometry lesson, students identify geometric shapes and their properties. Students create a geo-critter.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems based on the properties of lines tangent to one or more circles. Constructions are included. The one page worksheet contains eight questions. Answers are...

Learners analyze the graphs of polynomial functions, examine vocabulary associated with polynomials, and determine the maximum number of real roots possible for a polynomial

Students participate in a guided reading experience by following directions to cut out tangrams. They listen to the directions and cut as the reading progresses.

Students are introduced to the basic trigonometric identities. Using a diagram, they discover why the parts of the unit circle as named as they are and use equations to finalize the Pythagorean trigonometric identities. They also review...

Students explore properties of tangent lines.  In this properties of tangent lines lesson, students discuss the perpendicular relationship between a tangent line on a circle and the circle's radius.  Students use that...

Young scholars explore the concept of concurrent lines in triangles. In this concurrent lines in triangles instructional activity, students work in groups to investigate properties of concurrent lines in acute, right, and obtuse...

Students construct two-column proofs. In this geometry lesson, students use deductive reasoning and geometric properties to justify given geometric statements. Students compare and contrast proofs.

Students complete readings on kite making and kite flying. They analyze how the parts of a system interconnect and influence each other. Students identifies and uses color and form in a 3D artwork.

Students construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Students use K'NEX materials sets to...

Tenth graders identify and analyze appropriate key vocabulary terms associated with transformations and reflection. Students experience creating and recognizing reflection with hands-on manipulations. Students discover real-world...

Third graders investigate ants and anthills in this series of lessons. They create their own Ant Farm.

Sixth grade young scholars: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Students investigate shapes. For this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.

Students analyze inscribed angles and intercepted arcs and explore the relationships between the two. They investigate the properties of angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants to solve problems involving circles.

Learners discover how to recognize tangents and how to use their properties. They investigate and use the properties of angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants. Students use two tangents and the properties of similar triangles to...

Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.

Students construct the tangram pieces from a square paper by following directions to fold and cut. They make observations on the pieces formed and compare how they are related to each other. They explore patterns and shapes with the...

Students experiment with scale to solve a problem presented in a video clip. They determine the correct size to use when constructing a model and evaluate the use of proportions in real life applications.

Students work together to make figures out of tangram squares. In groups, they calculate the measurements they need and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. They complete a worksheet solving equations using the theorem and review their answers.

In this sentence completion worksheet, students complete multiple choice questions where they fill in the blanks to sentences with one word. Students complete 10 sentences.

Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings
