As you introduce coordinate graphs to scholars, be sure to use guided worksheets like this one. Using an example for guidance, they write the coordinates of five points on a graph, each distinguished as a shape symbol. Next, scholars do...

Sixth graders toss popcorn kernels at a 12? circle inscribed in a 12? square. By counting the number of popcorn kernels that land inside the circle and inside the square the students calculate estimates for the value of pi.

Make your lesson on radioactive decay pop with this lab exercise. Using popcorn kernels spread over a tabletop, participants pick up all of those that point toward the back of the room, that is, those that represent decayed atoms. As the...

In this trigonometry ratios in right triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different trigonometric ratios that apply to right triangles. First, they define a trigonometric ratio and its three most common ratios, sine, cosine, and...

Students explore negative and positive integers on a number line. They review a newspaper to determine careers that use positive and negative integers. In groups, they read and answer questions on "Lifestyles of the Rich and...

Students participate in discussions and listen to audio programs about giving and receiving respect. They identify disrespectful behavior and role play ways to promote respect in their own lives. They also examine the relationship...

The 17th installment of a 21-part module investigates symmetry in the coordinate plane. After plotting several examples, scholars develop a rule for the coordinates of a point after reflecting over the x-axis, the y-axis, or both.

Three chapters worth of integer, fraction, and decimal problems to give you every type of question your learners need to be a successful mathematician. Thankfully the work has been done for you and this is a huge resource full...

Integers can be challenging, but this presentation makes teaching integers a whole lot easier! Comprehensive information, a song, chant, and pop quizzes provide an in-depth look into what integers are, and how to add, subtract, and graph...

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

Class members investigate rectangles on the coordinate plane. They determine the length of line segments in the coordinate plane with the same x-coordinate or same y-coordinate and then solve geometric problems involving perimeter...

Communication is key. Eight sample items show how important communication and reasoning is for sixth grade mathematics. Part of the Claim 2-4 slide show series, the presentation uses concepts from fifth and sixth grade to illicit...

In this perimeter worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete nineteen various geometry problems. First, they find the length of given segments in addition to the perimeter of a kite. Then, students find the value of a variable so that...

In this adding negative numbers activity, students solve three multi-part short answer problems. Students add negative integers. Students evaluate addition and subtraction expressions for given values.

In this trig functions worksheet, students find the trig values of 46 problems.  Students find the trig values of various radian measures.  Students use trig properties to prove trig identities.

In this trigonometric ratios learning exercise, students solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they write the degrees listed in radian measure. Then, students find the exact ratios for each equation. They also find the...

A unique approach to reviewing number lines and how to locate different values on them, this worksheet poses several questions that require written answers rather than calculations. You could use this as a note-taking guide when teaching...

Students experience what it is like to confront and deal with a culture highly different from their own. They gain skills in observing and describing behaviors and develop an understanding of how our cultural values influence the way we...

In this Pythagorean theorem worksheet, learners solve and complete 20 different problems that include using the Pythagorean theorem to solve them. First, they use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the value of x in each right...

Geometry gets an engineering treatment in an exercise involving a belt wrapped around two wheels of different dimensions. Along with the wheels, this belt problem connects concepts of right triangles, tangent lines, arc length, and...

Scholars first learn the definitions of the sine ratio, the cosine ratio, and the tangent ratio. After mastering these definitions, they use the new information to solve triangles.

Individuals learn to divide and conquer complex numbers with a little help from moduli and conjugates. In the second lesson on complex number division, the class takes a closer look at the numerator and denominator of the multiplicative...

In this geometry instructional activity, students examine similar right triangles as the basis for the foundation of trigonometry. Students define the basic trigonometric functions and use a calculator to find the trigonometric value of...
