Curated OER
Plain Figures And Measuring Figures
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...
Curated OER
Mathematicians of the Month
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...
Curated OER
Gridding a 2 x 2 Meter Unit
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...
Curated OER
Area graphics for 7th graders
Pupils 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.
Curated OER
Coordinate Proofs
Learners explore the concept of coordinate proofs. In this coordinate proofs lesson, students write coordinate proofs using properties of distance, slope, and midpoint. Learners discuss why it is sometimes beneficial to double the...
Curated OER
Vectors
Students differentiate distance and displacement. In this physics activity, students use formulas to calculate for displacement. They draw vectors using the grid.
Curated OER
Unit Perimeters and Areas
Students 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...
Curated OER
Tilted Squares and Right Triangles
Learners investigate squares. They generate patterns from structured situations and find a rule for the general term and express it using words and symbols. Students generate patterns from a rule and substitute values and formulas.
