Students explore the concept of transformations.  For this transformation lesson, students use an applet that is an interactive absolute value graph applet.  Students manipulate the applet to examine the change in the function...

Students explore the concept of finding the composition of seawater.  In this finding the composition of seawater instructional activity, students make a saturated salt water solution.  Students discuss why there is variation...

Find out what your mathematicians know about similar and congruent figures with this anticipatory guide that includes five agree or disagree with statements.    

In this molecular geometry and hybridization learning exercise, students identify bond angles, Lewis structures, hybridization, polarity and valance electrons in given molecules. They also label a drawn compound with hybridization and...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders identify the missing angles using the polygons sum conjecture. They measure exterior and interior angles using their angle theorems. There are 63 problems.

Students play a game to learn angle measures in radians. In this precalculus/trigonometry activity, students play a game similar to a cake walk. When the music stops, which ever student is selected, names his/her coordinates and place on...

Have your class create parallel lines. Students will learn how to identify the different angles created by a parallel line cut by a transversal. Then, they identify and name similar and different angles.

In this triangles worksheet, students solve six word problems where they determine the angles measures in different triangles.

In this trigonometry worksheet, students find the missing angle and sides given the 6 trigonometric values. There are 6 questions with an answer key.

Learners investigate the slope of various stairways through a "news report" approach and employ mathematical knowledge of applied slope to report on wheelchair accessibility and adherence to Americans with Disabilities Act. They...

10 this geometry worksheet, learners identify the different angles created by polygons and name the shape created based on the number of sides. There is an answer key.

In this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and rotations...

In this physics 240:10 worksheet, students calculate the speed and distance as presented in the given word problems. Students apply their understanding of Hooke's law to answer the questions provided.

Young scholars investigate the properties of magnets. In this magnetism lesson, students construct a magnetic crane and observe the attraction of metal objects.

Students construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

What are these shapes? Here are four shapes with some common attributes: they each have four parallel sides and four vertices. Scholars identify a rectangle, rhombus, square, and quadrilateral. Because there is an explanation written...

If you're searching for a way to keep your class informed of current psychology news, this ongoing assignment is both educational and engaging. Class members locate and read a psychology article of interest, write a psychological...

Students study the parts and functions of the human eye. They create dodecagons which are twelve-sided figures with twelve equal angles and share these with the class so that each student can begin to see how many different illusions can...

Here is a great science lesson plan. It extends the concept of vision into the area of optical illusions, perspective, and tessellation. This well-designed plan has tons of great activities, utilizes interesting video, and should lead to...

A fabulous lesson plan which combines mathematics with space science. Middle schoolers work in cooperative groups in order to research early astronauts and their accomplishments. They look at a variety of rocket and space shuttle...

Combine literacy, problem-solving, and geometric shape recognition with this riddle learning exercise. Scholars solve 4 riddes, naming the shape described in each. Descriptions are in first person, and include a real-life look-alike. For...

Where do the coordinates lead? As children brainstorm ways to find the location of different buildings, they learn about coordinate points and how to use them to locate areas on a grid or map. They practice using ordered pairs by playing...

Learn how to solve a triangle. Young mathematicians view a video that explains how to apply trigonometry to find missing sides and angles of a right triangle. A worksheet tests their understanding of the concept.
