In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders review and apply the basic concepts for solving linear and quadratic equation. The one page instructional activity contains twelve problems. Solutions are not provided. 

Fourth graders examine the concepts of, draw, and label points, lines, segments, and angles, They draw, label, and identify horizontal, vertical, intersecting, parallel, and perpendicular lines. They complete an associated worksheet that...

Combine algebraic and geometric strategies to find solutions. The task asks learners to find the coordinates of a third vertex of a triangle to create a triangle with a specific area. The project is a set of seven problems that...

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry instructional activity, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines,...

Students construct a homopolar motor following certain procedures. In this physics lesson, students explain how generators and motors work. They compare and contrast the characteristics of both.

Students define slope, and practice finding the slope of lines through given points. They determine the angle of inclination. Students find the relationship between the slope and the tangent of the lines. Students determine special...

Middle schoolers construct a three-dimensional model of a city using both similar and congruent figures and geometric transformations. City must have at least ten buildings with each building labeled and may be constructed out of paper...

Learners graph linear equations and then find the person in class whose linear equation graph is perpendicular to theirs. For this graphing inequalities lesson plan, students graph their perpendicular slopes and then once their find...

Fourth graders, using a straight edge, determine whether a point is inside or outside of a given figure. With worksheets, 4th graders practice analyzing geometric relationships such as parallel to, perpendicular to, etc.

Here is a straightforward example of how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find an unknown side-length of a trapezoid. Commentary gives additional information on proving that the inside of the trapezoid is a rectangle, but is...

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...

Students calculate the slope of the equation In this algebra lesson, students graph coordinate pairs of linear equations and identify the relationship between x and y values and slope.  They differentiate between functions and...

Sixth graders explore different polygons. In this polygon lesson, 6th graders examine a rhombus, quadrilateral, parallelogram, and rectangles. Students compare and contrast polygons and research shapes on the Internet.

In this geometric figure learning exercise, students answer 10 multiple choice questions about geometric figures.  Students find missing angles, interior angles, properties of polygons, etc.

High schoolers listen to a lecture and complete a number of problems as they go. There are a variety of examples given and they are guided through the problem solving steps for each of the real-world scenarios regarding the purpose of...

Fourth graders use tangram sets to investigate the congruence of shapes. They use congruent shapes to demonstrate the properties of slides, flips, and turns. They complete a math journal entry that describes and illustrates each concept.

In this linear equation worksheet, students solve 18 problems regarding slope-intercept, linear equations, parallel lines and perpendicular lines.

This presentation is intended to accompany an entire unit and covers a wide variety of concepts. Counting on, counting back, symmetry, properties of 2-D shapes, completing symmetrical patterns, and measuring angles are all covered.

Apply geometric properties and formulae for surface area and volume by constructing a three-dimensional model of a city. Learners use similar and congruent figures and transformations to create a city of at least 10 buildings. They trade...

Challenge the class with inscribed circles in triangles. The assessment task requests class members use their knowledge of circles and right triangles to prove two triangles are congruent. They go on to utilize their knowledge of...

How do you find the lengths of items that cannot be directly measured? The 13th installment in a series of 16 has pupils use the similarity content learned in an earlier resource to solve real-world problems. Class members determine...

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...
