Many things in life take the shape of a polynomial curve. Learners design a polynomial function to model a riverbed. Using different strategies, they find the flow rate through the river.

Students create a quilt square for a class quilt using at least three, two-dimensional geometric figures. They research and write a brief description of at least two different quilt patterns that they find. Pupils discuss that quilts are...

In this common 2-D and 3-D shapes worksheet, students define and solve 8 problems related to 2-D and 3-D figures as shown. First, they look at each 4-sided 2-D shapes listed and mark which ones always have the same angles. Then, students...

In this perimeter worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete nineteen various geometry problems. First, they find the length of given segments in addition to the perimeter of a kite. Then, students find the value of a variable so that...

In this geometry activity, young mathematicians apply the formulas for the area and perimeter of polygons and circles to solve a variety of skills practice and problem-solving questions.

Students solve triangles using the properties if congruency. In this geometry lesson plan, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

In this Pre-calculus/Trigonometry worksheet, students use the laws of sines and cosines to solve triangles. The four page worksheet contains thirteen problems. Answers are not included.

Ninth and tenth graders calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They solve problems involving scale drawings, models, maps or...

Use this comprehensive pre-instruction assessment tool to focus your teaching where your class needs it most. Multiple choice questions assess your budding geometers' conceptual and vocabulary knowledge, but they do not solve any...

Most adults remember learning about the Pythagorean theorem, but they don't all remember how to use it. The emphasis here is on developing an intuitive understanding of how and when to use the theorem. Young mathematicians explore...

In this college level mathematics worksheet, students solve use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side of a right triangle and explore the connection between the Pythagorean Theorem and the distance formula....

Middle and high schoolers solve and complete 29 various types of problems. First, they match each name with its correct formula. Then, students find the length of the missing side and the distance between the two points given. In...

Using the number attributes they have learned, math detectives uncover the mystery number in each of these logic problems. For the three problems they examine the clues and sets of numbers, using key vocabulary such as greater than,...

Challenge your scholars to show what they know about the Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and inverses. The six-question assessment is the last in a series of 16. Pupils find the area of triangles and show that the Law of Sines and Law of...

Here is a lesson that starts with having geometers translate points using compass directions into an accurate picture of the problem. Then they must use their knowledge of the Pythagorean theorem or similar triangles to solve. This makes...

Geometry students use hinged mirrors to discover that the regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point. They sketch triangles on paper models of the regular polygons having 3 to 10 sides and compute the...

This neat idea gets kids to use phonics and puzzle-solving skills. Pairs take turns picking picture cards from a pile, say the name of the object on the card, drop a letter to turn that word into a new word, then look for the new word on...

For this geometry worksheet, students define important vocabulary dealing with circles. They measure cricles to the nearest degree. There are 11 word problems to be solved.

In this area of shapes unit, upper graders participate in hands-on problem solving activities to find the formulas for the area of a parallelogram, a triangle, and a trapezoid. They manipulate the geoboard to explore relationships among...

In order to learn about the Pythagorean Theorem, young mathematicians investigate relations and patterns between different sides of a right triangle to look for possible relations among the squared sides. Once they have established the...

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day activity: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last activity has prizes that the...

Explore linear and square dimensions by comparing areas of similar figures. A creative set of five activities designed for elementary through high school classes asks young scholars to compare areas of specific polygons. The first two...

Investigate polygons from rectangles to triangles to octagons. Each level of the five-problem series targets a different grade level. Beginning with the level A problem, learners examine the relationship between area and perimeter by...

Develop a strategy for finding the area and perimeter of irregular figures. Building on an understanding of finding area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, learners apply the same concepts to composite figures. After practicing...
