Students play a game to learn angle measures in radians. For 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...

Start the exploration of trigonometry off right! Pupils build on their understanding of similarity in this lesson that introduces the three trigonometric ratios. They first learn to identify opposite and adjacent...

Get lost in the classifications. Using the backdrop of the Bermuda Triangle, pupils classify it by angle and side measures. They also learn information about the triangle and its history.

Students draw a chart (included in the lesson) to use with their investigation. They review terminology of triangles and receive toothpicks to use in the lesson. Beginning with three toothpicks, students form a triangle. They complete...

Finish out the module with a bang. The last installment of a 36-part module is an end-of-module assessment task. Test takers set up equations to represent relationships and solve problems in an assortment of contexts.

Here's an algebra II activity that strives to make the concept of a radian less abstract and more conceptual. It takes a hands-on approach to exploring the idea of a radian and allows individuals to develop a definition of a...

In this right triangles worksheet, students use trigonometric ratios to determine the length of a side of a triangle or a missing angle measurement.  This two-page worksheet contains 20 problems.

Students demonstrate and understanding of the three types of angles using triangles and quadrilaterals. In this angles lesson plan, students learn about acute, obtuse and right angles. They use cut-outs to find the areas of triangles and...

In this points, lines, planes, and space worksheet, learners solve word problems dealing with points, lines, planes, and space. Students complete 20 individual problems and 20 group problems.

Why can we see our reflection in a window but not a brick wall? Young physicists learn the Law of Reflection and various light properties that help them answer this and other questions about reflection. Use the PowerPoint to introduce...

Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...

In this classifying triangles worksheet, students explore given lengths or angle measurements and then classify each triangle as isosceles, scalene or equilateral. They also determine if the triangle may be right, acute or obtuse. This...

In this parallel lines worksheet, students solve 13 short answer and fill in the blank problems. Students determine which lines are parallel given a statement such as if these angle measures are equal then which lines are parallel?...

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

Increase the level of assessment rigor with the test of performance tasks. Topics include similar triangles, trigonometric ratios, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and trigonometric problem solving. 

Geometry could be called the study of figures. An overview of the figures found in a typical geometry course contains a study of different triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons. 

Students determine the contact angle of water on different surfaces. In this physics lesson, students calculate their percent error using a mathematical formula. They explain the advantages of using non-wetting surface for certain...

Young scholars develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. In this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving...

Bring math and reading informational text together with a reading comprehension lesson. After kids read about isosceles, scalene, and equilateral triangles, they answer five comprehension questions to demonstrate how they can use context...

The shortest distance from point A to point B is a straight line, but measuring distance gets more complicated when there are three points! Given the location of three friends, individuals determine the best point for all three friends...

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Time for classes to show what they've learned. Use several tasks to assess understanding of the trigonometric functions, unit circle, radians, and basic trigonometric identities.

Allow your pupils to become the mathematicians! Individuals explore the properties of a midsegment of a triangle through construction and measurement. Once they figure out the properties, learners use them to draw conclusions.

In this trapezoids worksheet, student solve 46 fill in the blank problems. Students find unknown side lengths and angle measures of an isosceles trapezoid and a rhombus.
