Tenth graders connect the history of geometry to problem solving. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate polygons through hands on manipulatives and solve problems relating to parallelograms and triangles. They calculate the...

Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson, students integrate the function to find the area under the curve. They use the Ti to create a visual of the graph.

Students define and identify transformation and rotation. In this geometry lesson, students define rotations as congruence or isometry. They find the coordinates of an image and pre-image.

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...

Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

In this van Allen Radiation Belts worksheet, students are given the formula for the field line of the Earth's inner magnetic field. Students use this equation to find the polar coordinates of a field line in the van Allen Belts. They...

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

There are five shapes for scholars to identify: rectangle, circle, square, trapezoid, and triangle. Although there isn't much here, consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Ask kids to verbalize attributes of each...
