Young scholars investigate probability. They will define probability as the likelihood of an event occurring. Then, they determine the probability of sitting in a particular seat on a plane. They also set up ratios of various seating...

Learn through constructions! Learners examine a translation using constructions and define the translation using a vector. Pupils then construct parallel lines to determine the location of a translated image and use the vector as a guide.

Young theatre artists engage in a scavenger hunt to acquaint themselves with set design. The challenge is to search the site and match a separate maquette with each of the 24 clues.

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

While it may seem incredibly obvious to the geometry student that congruent sides make congruent triangles, the proving of this by definition actually takes a bit of work. This exercise steps the class through this kind of proof by...

Space scientists use water displacement to determine the mass of a cubic centimeter mini meteorite, and then use it as a small-scale representative of an asteroid. They figure out the orbital velocity of an asteroid. Then they use a...

Writing an equation of a line is as easy as m and b. A lesson presentation gives individuals different strategies for writing equations of lines. Some items provide a slope and a point while others provide two points. Whatever the given,...

In this polygons worksheet, 10th graders identify and define both a polygon and a convex polygon and then, they apply two theorems that involve the interior and exterior angles of a convex polygon. First, they find the sum of the...

In this math activity, students practice their skills in constructing reflections of shapes that are on a grid. This activity has 13 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

For this dilations and similarity worksheet, pupils solve 10 different problems that include various dilations. First, they determine the scale factor of dilations found in the illustrated graphs. Then, everyone determines the...

High schoolers engage in a study of science and mathematics with the practice of creating graphs. A guest speaker comes to the class to share statistics from the community and the students are shown how he uses the coordinate system in...

In this shoelace algorithm learning exercise, students determine the area of a triangle when given the coordinates of the vertices. They determine the area of a quadrilateral. Students find the average of the x and y coordinates.

Students investigate simple machines. In this simple machines lesson, students explore how tools increase productivity and make life easier. Students experiment with simple tools and discover the parts of each tool.

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Learners perform transformations and translations using polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students perform transformations on a coordinate plane. They identify the image and pre-image of each figure.

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a coordinate plane.

Young scholars perform transformations on their graphs. In this algebra lesson, students identify the pre-image and image. They find and identify congruent shapes and isometry.

Fifth graders explore geometric building blocks in the real world in order to describe the characteristics and relationships of points, lines, line segments, rays, and planes. This is the first lesson plan in a series of lessons in...

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.

A very basic presentation on the vocabulary associated with circles has come around. Math whizzes see definitions and examples of the radius, diameter, chord, and central angle of a circle. The last slide says "practice time," but there...
