Students experiment with straight edges and compasses to divide lengths into equal parts. They identify different fractions of the total length.

Students complete a worksheet and explore the parabola conic section during a web based activitiy. They answer questions based on their work as they make changes in the features of the parabola.

Middle schoolers, when given the name of a community, identify a food, a craft, a custom, language and music, unique to that community 100% of the time. They find similarities and differences between this community and their own in four...

Students create a "Noh"-style mask, based on Japanese Noh theatre masks. They experiment with different colors of modeling clay and explore ways to show facial character.

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks as edges.

Looking for a different approach to triangle congruence criteria? Employ transformations to determine congruent triangles. Learners list the transformations required to map one triangle to the next. They learn to identify congruence...

In this algebra test, students must determine 3 definitions, match 4 equations to the answer, 4 short answer, and graph 4 points on a coordinate plane. There are 20 questions total.

Now this lesson sounds fun! Students throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

Students see how to identify regular polygons, how to slide, turn and flip polygons, and why certain polygons tessellate better than others. Groups create a one foot square design to be used to tile the classroom. Great lesson!

Students analyze distance and graphing. In this geometry lesson, students work problems on a coordinate grid calculating the distance. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to their data and answer.

In this word problem worksheet, students solve for the shortest distance between a spider and a fly.   The solution is provided.

Students calculate the distance between two points using the distance formula. In this geometry instructional activity, students derive the distance formula using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...

Students, in groups, create three-dimensional sculptures from found objects. They paint their sculptures and write essays that reflect on the collaborative creative project.

Middle schoolers practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio...

How accurate is data collected from a sample? Learners answer this question using a simulation to model data collected from a sample population. They analyze the data to understand the variability in the results.

In this math worksheet, students learn to measure common classroom objects or body parts using a standard inches ruler and a centimeter ruler. Students measure 21 objects in both ways.

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

In this reading a floor plan activity, 5th graders use the floor plan, the scale or 1/8 in. = 1 ft. and an inch ruler to answer 6 questions.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the answer to a vocabulary questions and then follow the give rules to place the answer in the appropriate place on the crossword grid.   The one page worksheet contains 18...

Students solve problems using geometric means. In this geometry lesson, students create altitudes in right triangles. They use Cabri software to move the triangle around and observe different sides and angles.

In this circle and their equations worksheet, students read about circles and algebraic equations, look at examples and complete exercises.

In this distance worksheet, students determine how to find the distance between points.  They use the distance formula and justify their answers. This two-page worksheet contains 2 problems.  Answers are listed on the last page.

In this polygon worksheet, 5th graders name 6 polygons, tell if each one is a regular polygon or not and tell if it is a special quadrilateral.
