In this waves worksheet, students read about harmonic and linear motion in waves as well as the two types of waves. They match 5 terms to their definitions about the structure of waves, they solve for the wavelength, frequency and...

Students apply definitions and theorems to verify special quadrilaterals using coordinate geometry. They apply the slope formula, the midpoint formula, and the distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram....

Young scholars explore momentum. In this physics lesson, students perform an experiment in which two balls are released on slanted boards while young scholars observe which ball will go the farthest and the fastest. Students define and...

Students study geometric shapes and practice naming them properly. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups to give definitions of the vocabulary to each other in their own words. Students also visit a lower grade and teach...

For this optics worksheet, students read about how light can reflect or refract and how lenses and mirrors work. Then students complete 13 matching, 27 fill in the blank, and 8 word problems.

Ninth graders develop an understanding of and the applications for linear equations and their graphical displays. They participate in a cooperative learning activity of matching a graphic display with an equation.

Eighth graders pick a topic or person to research related to the history of mathematics. They brainstorm and create a concept map, using the multimedia software inspiration, about what they are researching and want to examine. They then...

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 optics activity, students read about refraction and reflection, lenses and mirrors, and objects and images. They answer 13 matching questions about light rays, light behavior and types of lenses. They also answer 9 questions such...

Bring out the inner artist with this Abraham Lincoln lesson plan. Elementary students work on a home project creating a hat similar to Abraham Lincoln's hat. They will use geometry and measurement to create the scale of the hat, then...

Students study West Virginia quilts. For this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students determine the slope of a line, write the equation of a line, examine parallel and perpendicular lines, and solve problems involving linear relationships.  The two page worksheet...

Sixth graders examine a blue print and discuss the reasoning behind using blue prints. In this proportionality lesson,  students collaborate with their teammates to create a scale drawing. Once that is complete, 6th graders write a...

In this algebra instructional activity, students examine and graph linear equation, inequalities, and absolute value inequalities in two variables.  The three page instructional activity contains forty-six problems.  Answers...

Fifth graders identify, describe, and classify lines, line segments, rays, and angles. When given a diagram of a line, they classify the line as perpendicular, parallel, intersecting, vertical, horizontal, and/or diagonal.

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry activity, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Learners use triangles to find the length and slope of each side. After connecting the vertices, they add points based on their specific instructions. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Have your class review how to identify right angles. Learners identify right angles, and then write the number of angles found in each shape.

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Students investigate the properties of lines and congruent triangle theorems as well as apply geometric properties and relationships to real-world mathematical problems. Given two different scenarios, they examine maps that have been...

What if a coordinate plane becomes a slope-intercept plane? What does the graph of a linear function look like? Learners explore these questions by graphing the y-intercept of a linear equation as a function of its slope. The result is a...
