Young scholars determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available...

In this math worksheet, learners study the geometric shape of the rectangle by tracing 10 shapes and coloring them different colors.

Stop and drop what is in your hand! Pupils investigate how form effects drag in the 12th part of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups create equally weighted objects and determine which one falls the fastest by collecting data.

Students explore the properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry activity, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

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...

First graders explore geometric shapes. In this math lesson, 1st graders sort shapes into groups and discuss the characteristics of the shapes. Students build geometric shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.

Fifth graders create math word problems. In this geometry lesson plan, 5th graders define perimeter and discover how to find the perimeter of a rectangle, a square and a regular polygon. Students write word problems on finding the...

In this graphical interpretation of vectors learning exercise, students execute operations of addition and multiplication by a scalar. They sketch results and determine the commutativity of vector addition. This three-page learning...

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

In this transformation of alphabet letters activity, students choose whether three alphabet letters have been reflected, rotated or translated.

Students investigate triangles and congruences. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. They differentiate between similar and congruent triangles.

Students differentiate between ellipse and hyperbola. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve elliptical equations. They use the cabri program to create the different conics and move them around.

In this shapes worksheet, students name a set of 4 shapes, then write why they named them as they did. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

For this faces, edges, and vertices worksheet, students write how many faces, edges, and vertices each shape has. Students complete this for 2 plane shapes and 2 2D shapes.

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

Young scholars investigate circles and compound locus. In this geometry lesson, students identify the distance from a point to a line. They use Cabri software to create lines and circles.

Students identify the properties of a dragon curve. For this geometry lesson, students identify sequences and patterns as they solve fractals. They investigate patterns found in nature.

Students identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Pupils investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry lesson plan, students build a fractal tree. They investigate different career fields where fractals are used in the real world.
