For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are given the radius and diameter of a circle and asked to find the volume of a sphere. There are 8 questions with an answer key.

In this geometry worksheet, students use Kruskal's algorithm to analyze and solve shapes as it relates to cost. There are 4 questions with an answer key.

The accuracy required by the design and measurement of an Olympic running track will surprise track stars and couch potatoes alike. Given a short introduction, the class then scaffolds into a detailed analysis of the exact nature of the...

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...

For this geometry worksheet, students construct polygons and calculate the different angles formed by each shape. They construct circles, trapezoids, and rectangles and answer 20 questions.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders are given shapes of rectangles and circles. They calculate the perimeter and circumference of the different polygons given values for the diameter or sides. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

Students identify lines in everyday images.  In this art analysis lesson, students practice drawing diagonal, vertical and horizontal lines on pieces of chart paper.  Students examine a page from a magazine and identify the...

Students construct the circumcenter of a triangle. In this constructing the circumcenter of a triangle lesson, students construct a triangle using Cabri Jr. Students draw perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle. Students...

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.

Fourth and fifth graders investigate angles and name them according to the criteria for obtuse, acute, and right angles. They examine a human-made yarn pattern on the floor of their classroom and identify angles, vertices, and types of...

The objective of this activity is to find the percent of the area of a two squares overlapping. Mathematicians find the ratio of area for the part that overlaps to the rectangle formed. The final answer is a percent as a rate per 100....

The roots metro/meter and therm are the focus of a vocabulary building presentation that includes concise definitions, color-coded examples, and opportunities for guided and independent practice. Part of a series of roots and affixes...

If you need a straightforward and comprehensive organic chemistry exam, check this one out. Chemistry pupils identify functional groups in molecule diagrams, draw a Lewis structure, fill in a table about molecular shape, predict boiling...

Young mathematicians explore the concept of triangles as they construct altitudes of triangles to find the orthocenter. Learners construct their triangles using Cabri Jr. on their graphing calculators and find that the altitudes of a...

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Students explore the mathematical properties of traditional American Indian lodges. They examine the effect of increasing sides of a polygon, calculate the surface area of prisms and cylinders, and construct a classroom size pyramid...

Students explore the concept of area under a curve. In this area under a curve lesson, students find the area under a curve using the Monte Carlo method using random points and probability. Students calculate the area under the same...

Fifth graders classify triangles. For this triangle lesson, 5th graders learn about the characteristics that make up a triangle. They are instructed through video, PowerPoint slides, and teacher-led demonstrations.

In this geometric calculations of solar storms learning exercise, students use a diagram indicating the location of 2 STEREO satellites, the earth and the sun to calculate the distance between a Coronal Mass Ejection and the Earth. They...
