Students study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Students complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

Show your learners how to create tessellations using different polygons. This is achieved by having students make observations of polygons to find the ones that will tessellate.

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students use matrices to solve linear equations. They use reduced row echelon-form and scalar multiplier to simplify the matrices completely.

Learners take pictures of items related to parent functions around the school. In this parent functions lesson, students take photos of an item that has a shape of one of the parent functions that they studied in class. Learners also...

In this Big Bang worksheet, students are given the equation used to determine the rate at which the universe is expanding according to the Big Bang theory. Students solve 4 problems using this equation. They find the integral for time,...

Tenth graders identify and interpret vocabulary terms as they relate to vectors. Students practice translations by creating several tessellations. Students determine the direction and distance using vectors. Students use grid paper to...

Students demonstrate the process of creating a scaled rubber band enlargement of a simple drawing. They observe and discuss a teacher-led demonstration, and create a scaled rubber band enlargement of simple drawings and their invention...

Students play a game to practice how to tell time. They play a game of battleship in which they try to find out where his or her partner's battleships are, using .day/time references. The winner is the first to find all of the other...

In this reflections worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 34 different problems that include determining various reflections. First, they trace the figure and draw its reflection in each line. Then, 10th graders use the diagram...

Tenth graders explore congruent triangles.  In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders investigate the conditions necessary to prove two triangles congruent.  The lesson plan combines dry erase board activities and the use of...

Young scholars investigate angles converting them from radians to degrees. For this trigonometry lesson, students work with angles and the six different trig ratios. They graph the functions representing each trig functions and identify...

Students identify basic geometric shapes using Geogebra. In this geometry lesson, students work on a laptop as they explore different geometric shapes. They calculate the area and perimeter of triangles.

Investigation of a nomograph teaches students to determine the rule of a function by examining the input and output values.  Students use a nomograph on their Ti-Nspire to determine the function rule.  Students make a scatter...

Seventh graders create 3 original tessellation using polygons. They slide, turn, rotate and glide their designs on the computer. They print their tessellation on a T-shirt and teach the 6th graders about tessellations.

Learners use sliders to change the parameters of functions and examine how shifting parameters affects a graph. They identify the parameters of functions, find vertical and horizontal stretches, then calculate the scale factor and other...

Middle schoolers explore tessellations and the artwork of M.C. Escher. They view and discuss a video about M.C. Escher, create a slide template out of cardboard, and create a poster with their tessellation pattern.

Young scholars use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.

Learners complete the square and identify different parts of a quadratic equation. In this algebra lesson, pupils graph conics using the TI calculator. They rewrite equations by completing the square.

Students explore symmetry.  For this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using a...

Learners relate polynomials to a rollercoaster track as they translate a graph around on a coordinate plane. They differentiate between different forms of algebraic expressions.

Third graders construct tangrams. In this tangrams lesson, 3rd graders manipulate basic shapes to construct tangrams. Students explore how shapes can be combined in different ways and develop spatial sense.

In this dividing decimals worksheet, learners review and observe examples, continue patterns, and multiply the dividend and divisor in each step by ten, so that the quotients remain the same. Students solve three problems.

Students study quilts. In this history/geometry quilt lesson, students discover the history behind quilt making and get a chance to make quilt blocks of their own. They work independently to make a quilt block out of construction paper...

Students perform an experiment which simulates what happens inside an internal combustion engine. They explain how the chemical reaction they witnessed is similar to what happens inside the car engine.
