For this angle vocabulary card worksheet set, students identify the vocabulary associated with angles such as: ray, vertex, acute angle, segment bisector, and corresponding angles. They identify 23 terms but there are no questions...

Students investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students read the book The Greedy Triangle and define the shapes mentioned in the book. Students make the shapes by using their bodies.

In this winter solstice worksheet, students read a detailed text about the winter solstice and the historical and religious significance of this day. Students then complete a 15 question fill-in-the-blank and true/false worksheet.

In this angular size activity, students read about how astronomers determine the size of objects in the sky by using their angular size. Students are given equations that allow scientists to convert the angular size into kilometers....

In this geometry review game worksheet, students use the provided game cards and calling cards to play a Bingo-like game. Students learn geometric terms while playing a group game.

Young scholars identify different locations on a unit circle. In this precalculus instructional activity, students identify the different trig properties and rewrite the equation of a circle in standard form. They use mnemonic...

Young scholars become familiar with the causes for formation of shadows. They create shadows, compare the size and shape of the shadow with the actual object, engage in shadow play theatre, and discover what happens to shadows when there...

Learners determine the trigonometric relationships within a triangle as they construct a right triangle on the Ti-89. They find the sine, cosine, and tangent of various angles of their triangle construction.

In this calculus worksheet, students solve values involving trigs and the unit circle. They identify graphs of sine, cosine and tangents. They solve for angles using the unit circle and the calculator.

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

Students conduct experiments to determine if length, mass, or starting angle has any effect on the rate of a pendulum's swing. They also conduct an experiment online to determine if gravitational force plays a role in the swing. Groups...

This PowerPoint enables students to review mathematical terms in an interactive review game format. The slides contain a question about a mathematical term and the students must answer with the correct vocabulary word in order to get...

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and the angles formed when cut by a transversal. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct perpendicular lines and discuss midpoint, segments and perpendicular bisectors. They relate...

In this pre-calculus worksheet, students solve for angles formed by a tangent line and a circle. There are 6 different worksheets containing 8-10 problems per sheet.

Learners read and predict the outcome of a story set during the Civil War, then map the story. To prepare for the activity, students determine why it is important to look at historical events from all angles by using primary and...

Learners use the CABRI application for their graphing calculator to rotate, translate, and reflect triangles. They use graphing calculators and follow detailed directions to manipulate triangles in specified ways. There are three...

Experiment with optical resolution using an inquiry-based lesson. Young researchers calculate fellow classmates' optical resolutions. They apply the information to understand the inner workings of optical instruments.

High schoolers explore the optimum angle for orienting a solar collector relative to the rays of incoming sunlight. They review equinoxes, solstices, and various locational ideas before students investigate using meters, light sources,...

Students classify triangles by the length of their sides. In this geometry instructional activity, students use a white board to demonstrate the angles of various triangles. Students construct an equilateral, isosceles, and a scalene...

Students identify lines, and line segments. In this geometry lesson plan, students divide line segments into equal congruent parts. They complete a laboratory activity dealing with lines and segments.

Fourth graders complete a variety of activities as they study the European exploration of the Midwest, focusing on Indiana. They map the path explorers took, comparing the British with the French. They research why the explorers stopped...

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...

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Seventh graders investigate with light rays. In this light lesson, 7th graders determine the angle of reflection using simple materials. They continue the investigation by exploring the theory that light which is not reflected or...
