Learners draw on graph paper. In this geometry instructional activity, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Learners investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students...

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students use circle, pie, bar and lines to represent data. They analyze the data and make predictions bases on the scatter plots created.

Students derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students review the parts of a right triangle and use the Pythagorean theorem as a guide to find the trig identities. They find sine, cosine and tangent ratios.

Six word problems provide practice for young geometers to review angles, the angle a of straight line, circles, right angles, and others. I like the approach of these questions; they require thinking and explaining, not just computation.

In this angles worksheet, students use a protractor to measure and classify a set of 9 angles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this angles activity, students classify and measure a set of 9 angles, using a protractor. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students explore with quadrilaterals.  In this roping quadrilaterals lesson, students work in cooperative groups to play the game, "Question, please!" in order to identify, describe, compare and classify quadrilaterals....

Start out with angles by asking your pupils to read this reading passage. Class members will learn about degrees, right angles, acute angles, and obtuse angles and then respond to five questions about the text.

The Kuril islands stretch from Japan to Russia, and the ongoing dispute about their jurisdiction prevents many scientific research studies. Scholars learn to create a topographic profile of a specific area around their schools. Then they...

Learners examine the correlation between art and math. Using their computers, students construct and measure angles. Learners identify the properties of angles and polygons. They engage in the Angles program on their Palm and use the...

Students investigate angles through construction. In this geometry lesson, students use a protractor to identify the measurement of an angle. They identify angles cut by a transversal and two parallel lines.

In this middle school geometry worksheet, students use a ruler and a protractor to measure segment length and angle size.  The one page worksheet contains six problems.  Answers are not provided. 

In this angles worksheet, students estimate angles to within 15 degrees, then measure and name each. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Help 9th graders identify lines, points, rays, and planes in geometry. They  practice identifying, measuring, and drawing angles of different degrees. This is a fundamental lesson to help students learn the building blocks of geometry.

What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

If you set up a triad of mirrors into a corner figuration, they act as a kaleidoscope, bouncing light waves back and forth indefinitely, changing the light that your eyes perceive. Although the materials required are very specific and...

Students draw diagrams demonstrating how it is possible to two central angles to be congruent and their minor arcs are not congruent. In groups, they illustrate theorems with their constructed circles, create diameters of circles that...

Students create a sextant. Using their sextant, students measure the height of tall objects. Students explore how sailors used sextants to identify their location on the ocean. They research how sextants are created.

Students utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula to...

For this geometry worksheet, students construct angles and identify medians and altitudes. They use a compass and protractor to perform heir construction. There are 28 questions.

Students devise procedures for using a protractor to measure the number of degrees in an angle. They use inductive reasoning skills to construct their own method for effectively using the protractor to measure angles, as well as, make...

In this math worksheet, students collaborate with a "study buddy" or "coach" to learn whether an angle is acute, obtuse or right. Students follow the directions to go through the process of deciding what classification an angle has....

Students study the retreat of the Nez Perce Native Americans into Montana while tracing their journey on a map. They use the law of cosines to solve problems based on the navigational methods of the Nez Perce. They work with both the law...

In this math learning exercise, students measure a series of angles. Then they measure the angles in the triangles and determine the sum of the angles.
