Develop a model for prep. The resource provides examples of how items reflect modeling and data analysis for Smarter Balanced assessments. Items use on-grade or below-grade content to focus on the modeling aspect. The questions revolve...

Don't be a square! Young mathematicians determine the slope and length of a line segment. They then prove whether four given coordinate points form a square.

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the midpoint of a line segment given the coordinates of the two endpoints or find the missing endpoint given the coordinates of the midpoint and one endpoint.  The one page...

Individuals show what they know about the geometric representations of complex numbers and linearity. Seventeen questions challenge them to demonstrate their knowledge of moduli and operations with complex numbers. The assessment is...

Challenge your class to reevaluate preconceived notions about government with this political cartoon analysis. An image presents a clear example of irony, in which a disgruntled American complains about his government, yet fails to see...

Pupils produce paragraphs with planning and precision with the four-square writing method, which allows learners to organize the topic, supporting, and summary sentences of their paragraphs. 

In this angles, lines and figures review worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 33 standardized multiple choice problems. First, they use the Segment Addition Postulate to solve for a variable given an equation for each line. Then,...

The truth will always come out. A short performance task has learners considering a witness statement given to a detective. They apply special line segments in triangles and Ceva's Theorem to prove that the witness is actually lying.

Students examine faith-based initiatives. In this religion and ethics instructional activity, students consider the separation of church and state in the United States as they examine government funding of social service programs that...

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...

Stuck with triangle proofs? Take a 180° and provide learners with a guided worksheet that tests their knowledge with triangle inequalities. The questions require different types of proofs that range in levels of difficulty. 

In this geometry lines learning exercise, 10th graders solve 9 different problems related to various types of lines found in geometry. They classify each pair of lines shown as either parallel, intersecting, or perpendicular lines.

Sixth graders explore line segments, rays, parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines. The teacher discusses, with the class, real life items that represent each geometric idea studied. They use cotton balls, strings and popsicle...

For this center of the circle worksheet, 10th graders solve 5 different center of the circle measurements. First, they draw a circle and add two points on it. From there, students construct a line segment and a midpoint on the line...

In this line and angles worksheet, students explore basic geometry vocabulary.  They classify polygons.  Students determine the area and perimeter of given shapes.  They examine the parts of a circle, find volume and...

In this reasoning with rules worksheet, students solve and complete 12 different problems that include applying various rules to solve the equations given. First, they assume all segments are straight and state the rule used to solve...

Fourth graders explore the definition and properties of parallel lines. This high level lesson has students calculate the slope of the two parallel lines, and draw the lines on a Caretsian coordinate system.

In this mollusks and annelids worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 34 questions on the types and classification of mollusks.

Third graders create a shipping box from a cardboard material. In this measuring lesson, 3rd graders read the book Henry's Freedom Box and discuss the main idea. In the story a slave ships himself to freedom and the students measure and...

In this distance worksheet, students solve 12 multiple choice, short answer, and graphing problems.  Students use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.

High schoolers construct perpendicular bisectors using Cabri Jr. on their graphing calculator. They then construct conditional statements about perpendicular bisectors along with their converse, inverse, and contrapositive.

In this triangles learning exercise, 10th graders solve 3 extensive informal geometry problems that involve triangles. First, they sketch a triangle, selecting 3 of the sides and constructing 3 midpoints. Students then draw each of 3...

In this circles instructional activity, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining the chords, secants, and tangents of circles shown. First, they determine 4 different line segments given a circle with secants and...

High schoolers explore the concept of right triangles as they construct a right triangle using Cabri Jr. Learners find the midpoint of the hypotenuse and construct a line from the midpoint to the vertex of the right angle. They then...
