Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

In this line reflections worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining different line reflections in images. They identify the line reflections in each of the illustrations shown on the sheet. Then,...

Eighth graders solve problems involving percentage increases and decreases. Using given percentages, 8th graders transform a square into a rectangle. They apply the area formulas for squares and rectangles.Students observe the percent...

Students investigate the differences between linear and exponential models.  In this linear and exponential models lesson, students make a table of given data.  Students determine if the data is linear or exponential by...

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms activity, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Students use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b and log a...

In this line symmetry worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different problems that include various types of figures. First, they classify each figure illustrated as horizontal, vertical, both, or neither line of symmetry. Then,...

In this rational expression worksheet, learners graph rational equations, evaluate limits, state intercepts, asymptotes, and roots and factor.  This worksheet is designed as a test to be completed with a calculator. 

Wouldn't it be great if you could produce your own food? Scholars learn about the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plants. They consider how to use photosynthesis as a model of an efficient system and how to apply...

The potential of the energy in the class is moving. The third segment in a six-part unit on energy provides a deeper understanding of kinetic and potential energy. Learners understand the relationship between mass, speed, and energy and...

Students observe how certain geometric shapes can be used to make some structures rigid and others flexible. The activity involves construction of a 30-60 right triangle, folding while following directions, and identifying polygons.

Students become familiar with drawing segments and points. They understand how perspective drawing differs from three dimensional sketching. They demonstrate three dimensional and perspective drawing.

High schoolers investigate linear, quadratic and exponential equations using the TI calculator. They identify relation and functions using ordered pairs, graph the data, analyze the data, and relate it to real-world situations.

Pre-algebra pupils need to understand that two expressions are only equal if they have the same value. Show them that once the expression is multiplied by a number, the value of the expression changes. It makes for a good lead-in to...

First graders, exploring lines of symmetry, follow directions to create a symmetrical snowflake from their own homemade icing. As a class, they discuss lines of symmetry and determine if specific shapes are symmetrical. After the...

Kindergartners are introduced to basic shapes. Learners spend 45 minutes a day in geometry centers carrying out the activities outlined in this ambitious plan. There are games, hands-on activities, interactive websites, art projects,...

Students analyze and classify sets of pictures using a mathematical classification system and create original works of Art Deco tiles using this new knowledge and four types of symmetry.

Investigate the techniques used in a persuasive argument. Young writers compose a persuasive argument persuading their principal to take their class on a trip to the location of their choice. They then create a persuasive web site.

Young learners listen to the story book The Greedy Triangle as the teacher introduces new polygon shapes. They use geometric stencils to trace a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, and an octogon onto a foldable notepad....

Students see how to identify companies that likely have high growth potential in the fast-growing industries. They gain experience in finding companies that will be winners for the Global Stock Game

Students experiment with converting fuels to energy. They also must identify different types of fuels and ways to conserve energy.

Students practice saying their numbers and identifying the words. They use whole numbers and decimals to practice grouping numbers into different categories. They write the word of the number they are shown.

Students will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore examples...

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...
