In this point, line and segment worksheet, students use words and symbols to name given figures; when 2 lines are show, students label as parallel, intersecting or perpendicular.

In this trigonometry worksheet, students use trigonometric functions to determine the measurement of angles and the length of sides in given figures. Most figures are comprised of rectangles containing parallel and perpendicular lines,...

In this waves activity, students define 23 vocabulary words associated with the different types of waves and how waves are measured. Students complete 23 matching terms with definitions and draw the superposition of two waves shown.

In this math instructional activity, students examine the operations of vectors and matrices. Then they use the operations to compare the vectors that are parallel and perpendicular.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Fourth graders combine geometry and language arts skills while examining quilt-making. After identifying the geometric shapes contained in quilts, they write stories to encompass the quilt border. Students conclude by creating and...

Seventh graders participate in a lesson that is focused upon the concepts of classifying different angles and triangles. They practice classifying triangles according to its kind that includes types of angles, congruence, and vertices....

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. 

Third graders read "Pigs on the Ball" by Amy Axelrod and discuss the geometry concepts presented in the book. They use Twizzler sticks and pipe cleaners to represent lines, rays and angles.

In this synonyms and antonyms worksheet, students choose the best synonym for the first 6 examples and the best antonym for the last 6 examples.

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,...

Investigate geometric reflections in this geometry lesson. Create geometric reflections that show the reflection across the x and y axis of a coordinate graph. Learners watch a teacher demonstration before proceeding on their own. They...

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.

Fourth and fifth graders investigate angles and name them according to the criteria for obtuse, acute, and right angles. They examine a human-made yarn pattern on the floor of their classroom and identify angles, vertices, and types of...

Students graph lines and identify the slope. In this algebra lesson, students graph a line using y=mx+b and graph lines that are horizontal or vertical. They calculate the slope of the line using two points, and identify lines by their...

Students explore the global grid system. In this globe instructional activity, students identify latitude and longitude lines and how these can tell the coordinates of any place. They use the Internet to find the exact coordinates for...

Graph equations of lines using the slope-intercept method or by plotting both x and y intercepts. Determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular by comparing their slopes. This handout includes step-by-step directions and four...

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...

Students make small cuts (fracture nuclei) in processed cheese food and then apply stresses perpendicular or parallel to the cuts to see how fractures grow. They make predictions before each experiment and explain their results to the...

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.

Students view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

Sixth graders create a poster using one-point visual perspective. After exploring several examples of one-point perspective, 6th graders create a drawing around the theme of school community. Posters are illustrated and installed...

Students, as a final project, draw a picture of their ideal neighborhood on a sunny day. In addition to the sun, their drawings include homes, trees, streets, and selected objects. Each object in their drawing has a written description...
