Students calculate the distance between two points. In this geometry lesson, students use coordinates and the distance formula to find the distance. They perform an interactive lesson to solve the missing length.

Students create a handmade paper using pre-soaked paper pulp and a screen. They then decorate the paper using water color paint and brushes in a style that expresses ideas from a reading of, "Miss Rumphius" by Barbara Cooney.

Question: What do rectangles and bathtub volume have in common? Answer: Linear equations. Learn how to identify situations that have constant rates by examining two different situations, one proportional and one not proportional.

Five pages for geometry practice relating to symmetry provide mathematicians with exercises on transformations and symmetry, properties of isometries, compositions of transformations, tessellations with regular polygons, and other...

Feeling high is not the only side effect of abusing prescription opioids. Middle and high schoolers learn more about specific painkillers, including Fentanyl, Oxycodone, and Clonazepam, as well as their common brand names and extensive...

Help your sixth graders reach their Common Core math standards by providing them with a checklist of "I can" statements for each standard. As each concept is covered, kids can check it off, as long as they can do what it states. 

Your mathematician's job is to explore the relationship between hours and miles walked during a walk-a-thon. The activity compels your learners to experiment with different means in finding out this proportional relationship. The answer...

Knowing how to properly use the colon and the semi-colon is a handy skill to have. Most grown ups don't know how to properly use them! This presentation does an excellent job of showing learners how to properly use the semi-colon. There...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

The Pythagorean Theorem is a geometry pupil's best friend! Learners explain the equation a1b1 + a2b2 = 0 for perpendicular segments using the Pythagorean Theorem. They are able to identify perpendicular segments using their...

After viewing this presentation, students create a complete set of notes to support their learning of DNA replication. Each slide has information on a step in DNA synthesis process. The slides focus primarily on the processes rather than...

Explore how lines of symmetry help define different categories of quadrilaterals. Looking at a square, rectangle, trapezoid, and parallelogram, young mathematicians discover that each shape has its own, unique symmetry. Encourage your...

Pupils complete a review worksheet that highlights the key problems from the first eight lessons in the series. Topics include the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, as well as finding volume of three-dimensional figures.

Number towers use addition or multiplication to ensure each level is equal. While this is common in factoring, it is often not used with algebraic equations. Solving these six questions relies on problem solving skills and being able to...

Our bodies have some amazing capabilities, but there are some limitations. Explore the limitations of the human eye through the eighth lab activity in a series of 12 biology lessons. Individuals measure their own peripheral vision...

In this geometry learning exercise, students identify the different shapes created by nets. They also identify the intersection of lines and planes. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

Students calculate the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines.In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They graph their lines using the slope of the equation.

Learners find the slopes for perpendicular and parallel lines. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri software to create lines to compare.

Here's your basic four square game. A short description of how to play the game as well as what constitutes a foul. If one commits a foul, then that player is out and goes to the end of the line. I recommend having more than one four...

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

In this algebra activity, 11th graders solve complex numbers using division. multiplication, addition and subtraction. There are 11 questions with an answer key.

Students discover that side measurement is used in determining angle classification of a triangle. By squaring sides, they predict whether triangles be right, obtuse, or acute. They prove the Pythagorean Theorem and use it to solve...

Students calculate the determinant. For this algebra lesson, students find the determinant and use to calculate the area of a triangle. They calculate the area of a quadrilateral in a plane.

Students examine the role of conjunctions in the English language. They discuss how conjunctions are used, observe a teacher demonstration, and complete various worksheets related to conjunctions.
