Students solve problems using geometric means. In this geometry lesson, students create altitudes in right triangles. They use Cabri software to move the triangle around and observe different sides and angles.

Student identify the solution using geometric mean. In this geometry lesson, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri software and observe...

Students relate miniature golf to reflection of an image. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data as they study linear equations. They apply properties of graphing to solve real life scenarios.

Students find the surface area of cones. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the dimensions of each three-dimensional shape and use the correct formula to solve the problem. They relate concepts of cones to the real world.

Pupils identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the surface area,

Tenth graders discuss the history of geometry as it relates to pentagons. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders solve problems of a pentagon inscribed inside of a circle using ratio. They review other properties for shapes of polygons...

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

Ninth graders calculate the distance between two points.

Students randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Students work together to measure tree heights. They make predictions on what they believe the calculations are and answer questions during the experiment. They share their results with the class.

Students use the internet to examine what happens at an archeological dig site. In groups, they practice measuring a 2x2 meter square unit and gridding it out as an archeologist would do. They review the possible solutions at the end of...

Learners explore similarity to see that the area of a circle should be a constant times the square of its radius. Students create a hexagon. Learners share their designs with the class.

Seventh graders become familiar with the history and times which influenced a featured mathematician each month. Through Internet research, they gather information about a different mathematician each month. Students solve mathematical...

High schoolers explore the concept of coordinate proofs. In this coordinate proofs lesson, students write coordinate proofs using properties of distance, slope, and midpoint. High schoolers discuss why it is sometimes beneficial to...

Eighth graders resolve vector problems without the knowledge of math.  In this vectors lesson students with poor math skills get a chance of passing the course. 

Students explore Rise and Run. In this math lesson plan, students use Rise and Run to find given slopes, they will use the slopes to calculate distances from point to point on graph paper.

Students differentiate distance and displacement. In this physics lesson, students use formulas to calculate for displacement. They draw vectors using the grid.

Learners use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...

Given pictures or models that represent the Pythagorean Theorem, the student will demonstrate an understanding of the theorem.

The student will use triangle relationships to prove the Pythagorean Theorem and solve problems.

Given real-life problems, the student will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the problems.

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at the structural design of buildings and how the Pythagorean Theorem is often involved in the design process. The accompanying interactive component asks students to build a variety of...
