In this parallels and distance activity, 10th graders solve 8 problems related to parallels of lines and the distance between each line. First, they draw the segment that represents the distance indicated in each figure. Then, students...

Students define and discuss symmetry, line of symmetry, and congruency. They cut shapes out of construction paper, identify the line of symmetry, and if they are symmetrical and/or congruent.

Students construct and test balloon rockets and a model rocket. In this rocket science instructional activity, students use an inquiry-based method to master balloon rockets and have a shoot-off with the goal of attaining the highest...

Students explore line(s) of symmetry in polygons during a hands-on activity and a Student Web Lesson. They build a wall of symmetrical shapes designed and drawn by students.

Students calculate the center mass of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use the median to find the center mass. They discuss the different characteristics of triangles and their center of mass.

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Students investigate special segments in triangles. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare, estimate and predict findings based on their data. They differentiate between similarity and congruence of triangles.

Students create lines and shapes with a compass and a straight edge. For this geometry lesson, students investigate square roots, irrational numbers and spirals. They explore nature to see the shapes representing mathematics and...

Young geometers and biologists investigate the math of nature in an activity that is just the bee's knees. Participants will study the tessellations of hexagons in a beehive, along with the natural rationale behind the specific shape....

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry lesson, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Your learners will construct the perpendicular bisector of a chord. They use Cabri Jr. to construct a circle and a perpendicular bisector of a chord. They then measure lengths of the chords and perpendicular bisectors. Learners use...

In this trigonometry activity, students find the lengths of triangles. They construct triangles and spirals. Students complete indirect measurement problems. They find the distance between objects and determine the volume of rectangular...

Students identify and use the similarity theorem. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar triangles. They solve problems using the computer modifying shapes by dragging.

Tenth graders investigate geometric construction.  In this geometry lesson, 10th graders explore the procedure for copying an angle and a segment.  The lesson emphasizes the difference between a sketch, a drawing, and a...

Your geometry learners are guided by questions that help them use the language of reflections to explain the Side-Angle-Side congruence between two triangles in this collaborative task. Given a sample solution, declaring the...

Lead your high school class on a journey through the world of symmetry and reflections as you discuss geometric principles. Pupils differentiate between reflections and rotations, explore rotational symmetry, and investigate how to...

An old-fashioned cootie catcher project is a good way to help kids learn about the ways to honor God with the fruit of the Spirit. After cutting, folding, and constructing the cootie catchers, Sunday school kids work together to name the...

After learning that the sum of interior angles for triangles is 108 degrees, take it further to show that the sum of angles in any polygon is the same! Using hexagons, pupils practice finding the measure of the six congruent angles. Make...

Compare and contrast the four types of transformations through constructions! Individuals are expected to construct the each of the different transformations. Although meant for a review, these examples are excellent for initial...

Young geometers apply their deductive reasoning skills and knowledge of proving triangles congruent in a task that asks them to prove if a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Elementary graders discover the concept of fractional pieces of a whole. They investigate the meanings of fractions in everyday life and why they are used. Pupils divide brownies amongst each other to demonstrate the use of fractions...

Students investigate the mathematical concepts related to the study of The Pythagorean Theorem. They graph and review how to use a line segment to construct a triangle. Then using the theorem students calculate the length of the hypotenuse.

Students review primary colors and practice making straight lines. In this visual arts lesson, students paint simple shapes as large as a toothpick, using specific primary colors. During the construction of the shapes students are...
