Students define and identify transformation and rotation. In this geometry lesson, students define rotations as congruence or isometry. They find the coordinates of an image and pre-image.

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students use ratio and proportions to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students apply ratio and proportions to real life scenarios.

Students define accuracy and precision, and differentiate between the two terms, apply the concepts of accuracy and precision to a given situation and correctly apply the concept of significant figures to measurement and mathematical...

Students investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. In this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable to...

To better understand that the intersection point of two lines lies inside a circle, learners use their keen measurement skills. They discuss arcs, rays, tangent lines, and reflex angles. Then, they put their skills to work as they...

In this geometry worksheet, learners find the missing angle that is inscribed inside of a circle. They define vocabularies related to the circle. There are 17 questions.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson plan that is about investigating the different layers of the earth and defining how the plates move over the mantle. They engage in a variety of activities and use mathematics to create projects to...

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Young scholars solve problems involving area. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of an object and relate it to the area of the ocean. They define what exactly and area is and then solve problems relating to the real world.

Students create a project applying their math skills as they discuss energy conservation. For this geometry lesson, students define vocabulary relating to the environment and energy conservation. They construct a building that allow lots...

Students calculate the distance between two points. In this geometry lesson plan, students define the meaning of the distance between parallel lines. They find the point of intersection of other lines.

Fourth graders identify and classify different triangles and quadrilaterals. Then they demonstrate an understanding of plane and solid geometric objects and use this knowledge to show relationships and solve specific problems. Students...

Students prove the theorem of Pythagoras. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students define the different parts of a right triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing sides and angles of a right triangle.

Learning how to define vocabulary words related to solving parallelograms will assist your learners in identifying different parallelograms. They use the navigator to view different shapes created by moving the parallelogram around.

In this triangle similarity learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 12 different problems that include defining similar and 3 similar statements using only sides and angles. First, they determine if each pair of triangles...

Students define fractals and patterns. They explore how a seemingly random process can result in a pattern. Students practice probability and fractions skills by playing the chaos game online.

Learners follow detailed directions to create triangles on their graphing calculator. In this properties of triangles lesson, they will create triangles on their calculators using the Cabri Jr. application. They then identify three...

Can you use triangles to create a circle? Learners develop the unit circle using right triangle trigonometry. They then use the unit circle to evaluate common sine and cosine values.

After completing a task involving examining the ratio of areas of triangles and circles in a given figure, scholars examine sample responses to identify other strategies they could use to solve the problem.

Breaking the rules is one thing, proving it is another! Learners expand on their previous understanding of congruence and apply a mathematical definition to transformations. They perform and identify a sequence of transformations and use...
