Perpendicular Bisector Theorem
High schoolers construct perpendicular bisectors using Cabri Jr. on their graphing calculator. They then construct conditional statements about perpendicular bisectors along with their converse, inverse, and contrapositive.
Curated OER
Shortest Distance Between Points and Lines
Learners use technology to determine the shortest between two points in a plane. They are required to support their analytic explanations with visual illustrations.
Curated OER
Intertidal Zones
Students explore intertidal zones. In this intertidal zones lesson plan, students work in small groups and use ready-made materials to create a model of intertidal zones. Resources are provided.
Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem
Need a few extra examples on using the Pythagorean Theorem? Here is a lesson plan that uses pictures of New York City’s buildings as a model, and young architects find the height of the building. Consider adding more examples to further...
