Students explore the coordinate plane. In this secondary mathematics lesson, students follow a set of directions to plot points in the coordinate plane.

Learners examine the relationship between circumference and diameter and how to use the formula to find the area of a circle.  In this circle lesson students divide into groups and complete an activity. 

Students watch teacher demonstration of distance formula, view non-collinear cities on maps, plot points on coordinate plane, evaluate square roots, compute distance between two points, and use Heron's formula to find area of triangles.

Students determine the distance between two points.  In this distance formula lesson, groups of students determine the distance between points in real life situations.  They calculate the distance from one point in the...

Students graph and solve quadratic equations. In this functions lesson, students analyze a quadratic equation using three points on a curve to define the graph of a quadratic function. They find the vertex and intercepts of the graph.

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Seventh graders are introduced to making inferences about artifacts. Using a grid system, they locate the artifacts and determine where they originated from. They use this information to make conclusions about the way people lived...

This comprehensive unit on linear and exponential functions provides numerous clearly-written worksheets. Topics include graphing linear equations, solving systems of equations algebraically and by graphing, identifying the domain and...

Pairs of learners work together in order to simulate how engineers test materials for strength and safety in the real world. They use paper cups and pieces of spaghetti to run strength tests. This excellent worksheet should lead to...

Here is a wonderful activity that allows young engineers to try their hand at designing a bridge out of spaghetti! The worksheet explains the activity and also provides a graph for keeping track of the results. Very good!

In this plotting coordinates worksheet, students plots sets of coordinates on graphs, then identify the shape the connected points have created. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

Students imagine the way lines look. In this vector activity, students recognize how to find a vector equation, Cartesian equation or perpendicular distance. Students find angles between planes. Students complete an activity with...

Learn how to investigate the change in a graph by dragging the cursor to observe the change in the function. They use the TI calculator to graph their parabola.

In this skills activity, students explain the Segment Addition Postulate, provide examples and counter examples and determine congruent line segments.  This one-page activity contains 11 multi-step problems.

In this math worksheet, students investigate different types of functions and coordinate systems. They review that when integrating a function over a region in the plane using polar coordinates, a “magical” factor of r appears in the...

In this math instructional activity, students investigate vectors and polar coordinates. They convert the paths of polar coordinates to Euclidian points.

Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit program.

Seventh graders publish a letter and spreadsheet using the computer. They build a three-dimesnsional object with construction paper and develop a Christmas object using coordinates on a graph. Students compose a response in their journals.

Students collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.
