In this transformations worksheet, students solve and graph 8 different problems related to various forms of functions. First, they write the equation for the graph of a function given. Then, students describe the transformations that...

High schoolers explore problem solving with the TI-89 or Voyage 200. In this secondary mathematics lesson plan, your learners will investigate the Symbolic Math Guide Application which assists learners with problem solving strategies by...

Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The lesson provides ample opportunity for learners to conjecture...

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point lesson plan, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

In this 2D wavelet transform worksheet, students compute 9 different types of problems related to using wavelets. They select a set of orthogonal filters, load in any image they want, and compute by the given command. Then, students...

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.

Students explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using a...

Learners research the changes in change over time. Students choose one coin to research and trace in history. Learners graph out a time line on their coins. Students present their time lines to the class.

In this geometric transformations worksheet, students draw the triangle after the transformation as directed in six diagrams.

In this image processing worksheet, students use a matrix to solve ten problems. For the first six problems, students are guided to the answer by carefully sequenced questions. The final four problems require students to make a series of...

High schoolers analyze the vertex form of a parabola and find an approximate fit of a model. They explain the quadratic parabola function and its properties by developing quadratic models. They use translation and dilation to change the...

How do humans get energy since they aren't mechanical and can't photosynthesize? Learners explore this question by relating potential energy in food to human energy levels. Scholars measure the change in mass and a change in...

Develop a solid understanding of the manipulation of expressions to produce equivalent expressions. Given an expression, pupils rearrange it to create a new one. Their new functions must match the structure of the model expressions.

Is there one, none, or more? Through discussion or activity, scholars find the properties of an equation that will determine the number of solutions. They then use the properties discovered to figure out the number of solutions...

They say it runs in the family. Small groups use a card sorting activity to group graphs of functions into families. After grouping by families, the class develops conclusions for parent functions and create a graphic organizer.

Be sure to use this plum resource. Scholars apply an interactive to find the number of plums each friend receives after plum-picking. They see how the interactive relates to one-step equations.

Geometers explore the concept of tessellations. They use a tessellation applet to manipulate shapes and design their own tessellation using the applet.

For this polygons and angles worksheet, 10th graders complete 5 different questions related to polygons and angles, in addition to symmetry and transformations. First, they define polygon and how they are named. Then, students define...
