Students investigate angles converting them from radians to degrees. In this trigonometry lesson, students work with angles and the six different trig ratios. They graph the functions representing each trig functions and identify the...

Young scholars create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both...

In this science worksheet, students take part in an experiment that examines the motion of a projectile and measures things like velocity or direction.

In this trigonometric ratios worksheet, students determine the value of trigonometric ratios.  They find the area of triangles, determine the length of one side, and compute the degrees in an angle.  This five-page worksheet...

In this geometry worksheet students explore similar polygons and determine measure of missing sides and angles. Students use indirect measurement with similar triangles and determine the area and volume of similar figures. The seven...

In this geometry instructional activity, 11th graders solve problems with right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem. They find the missing angle or missing side. There are 15 questions with an answer key.

In this geometry worksheet, students answer questions about midpoints, distance, lines and segments. They are given different shapes and asked to calculate the angles, and sides of polygons.

In this geometry activity, 10th graders identify the vocabulary associated with the Triangle Midsegment Theorem and solve problems in which they find the size of a missing angle or segment.  The one page activity contains nineteen...

What do you do when you don't think you have enough information? You look for another way to do the problem! Pupils combine what they know about finding the area of a triangle and trigonometry to determine triangle area when they don't...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

Farming is full of mathematics, and it provides numerous real-world examples for young mathematicians to study. Here, we look at a cylinder-shaped storage silo that has one flat side. Given certain dimensions, students need to determine...

A quadrilateral is drawn on the coordinate plane, and eighth grade geometers find the length of each side and the diagonals by applying the Pythagorean theorem. 

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

Looking to challenge your students that have mastered basic triangle congruence proofs? A collection of proofs employ previously learned definitions, theorems, and properties. Pupils draw on their past experiences with proofs to...

Building on young mathematicians' prior knowledge of three-sided shapes, this lesson series explores the defining characteristics of different types of triangles. Starting with a shared reading of the children's book The Greedy...

There are many different ways to show a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.  Here is a nice hands-on paper cutting activity that shows a graphic representation. You can even challenge your young Pythagoreans to come up with their own...

Geometric shapes are the focus of a comprehension exercise that asks readers to examine a short passage about planes, circles, triangles, and rectangles, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Here are two electromagnetism homework assignments rolled into one. The first eight practice problems deal with the magnetic field and magnetic force exerted by current-carrying wires. The second set of seven problems are specific to...

For this geometry worksheet, students read given sentences and identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of the conditional statements. There are 21 questions.

What figure is formed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral? The geometry assessment task has class members work through the process of determining the figure inscribed in a quadrilateral. Pupils use geometric...

Did you see that or did I imagine it? Optical illusions are often created with mirrors and lenses, and here is a presentation that covers many different types of mirrors and lenses and how they work. Flat, concave, and convex mirrors, as...

This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...

For this geometry lesson, 10th graders break down a circle and identify the different parts. They discuss chords, diameter, radius, circumference, major and minor segment. There are 42 problems broken down into 5 different sections.
