Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

Learners engage in six activities to lead them through the process of conducting a thorough analysis of data. Pupils work with calculating standard deviations and z-scores, finding the area under a normal curve, and sampling...

Your AP Calculus learners probably have their ID numbers memorized, but have they tried graphing them? Pique your pupils' interest by asking each to create a unique polynomial function based on their ID numbers, and then analyze the...

Take young geologists on an exploration of the rock cycle with this six-lesson earth science unit on rocks and minerals. Through a series of discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on investigations your class will learn...

Class members determine the distance a video game character must move to shoot an arrow over a castle wall. Players determine the new equation to enter to represent the trajectory of the arrow and find all the distances the character can...

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

In this transformations worksheet, 7th graders measure 10 different figures related to rotation. First, they determine the measure of the angle between blades of a windmill. Then, students determine the rotation clockwise and then...

In this transformation worksheet students compare given pairs of pictures and identify those that are examples of a reflection. This one-page worksheet contains ten pictures.

In this linear transformation learning exercise, students find a series of linear transformations and sketch them. This four-page learning exercise contains approximately six problems.

Sixth graders examine how science is used in everyday activities, such as baseball.

Augment a unit on parabolas with an instructive math activity. Pupils graph parabolas by examining the relationship between the focus and directrix. 

Examine the usefulness of matrices when solving linear systems of higher dimensions. The instructional activity asks learners to write and solve systems of linear equations in four and five variables. Using matrices, pupils solve the...

Does your bank pay you for allowing them to hold your money? The lesson covers three different ways your money can make money. Topics include certificates of deposit, statement savings accounts, and money market accounts.

Does your bank pay you for allowing them to hold your money? Class members investigate three different ways money can make more money. Topics include certificates of deposit, statement savings accounts, and money market accounts....

In this tessellation activity, middle schoolers create tessellations using stated figures.  They rotate and transform given figures.  This one-page activity contains 5 problems.

In this math worksheet, students practice their skills in constructing reflections of shapes that are on a grid. This worksheet has 13 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

In this tessellations worksheet, students solve 2 word problems where they use the "make a pattern strategy" to form tessellations from geometric shapes. There is scaffolding for the problem solving strategy.

What does slope have to do with lines? Pupils work with lines and determine the slope of the lines informally and with the slope formula. Groups use their knowledge to calculate the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They also...

Design an efficient cereal box. Scholars use set volume criteria to design a cereal box by applying their knowledge of surface area to determine the cost to create the box. They then determine whether their designs will fit on...

In this transformation worksheet, students identify a series of transformations and sketch them. They use inversion mapping to establish a one-to-one correspondence between nonzero points. This four-page worksheet contains...

In this transformation worksheet, students find the linear transformation of equations and use the Mobius transformation to identify image boundaries. Students describe the images in each quadrant. This two page worksheet contains six...

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation instructional activity, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn...

Students identify the transformation and rotation of polygons. In this geometry activity, students use picture to perform rotation, reflection and transformation. They identify the coordinate points of the new transformation.

Students investigate transformation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify pairs of coordinates and their location on the grid. They perform rotation and reflection of each polygon.
