In this secondary mathematics activity, high schoolers expand a six-panel play yard by two-panels  Students determine the width of each panel and the area of the expansion. The one page activity contains one problem with the...

Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.

In this geometry worksheet, students are given a rectangle and a square. They verify ratios when given equal perimeters or areas. Students are given adjacent squares. They find the distance between the centers, and identify the means...

In this lengths, areas and shapes instructional activity, students explore overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. They identify the number of objects in a pattern, determine how the pattern may be folded to create additional patterns,...

In this calculus worksheet, students solve problems that involve related rates.  The two page worksheet contains twenty-four problems.  Answers are not provided. 

Learners calculate the area of a parallelogram. For this geometry lesson, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Tenth graders solve problems using the tangent of angles using the flagpole and its shadow as references.

This lesson explores the equation of the median of a triangle formula, sum of medians of a triangle, altitude of a triangle, median of equilateral triangle formula, and median of a triangle definition while discovering the interesting...

Explore the world of the altitude of a triangle in this mini-lesson including its definition, altitudes in different types of triangles, formulae, some solved examples, and a few interactive questions for you to test your understanding.

This site gives a description along with a visual representation of the altitude of a triangle. There are links to related terms, everyday examples, challenging problems, more information, and the interactive check point involving...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An overview of altitudes and geometric mean is provided in this study guide.

Here at the Math Forum, Dr. Math proves the concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle. Links are provided for associated topics.

The student will apply and prove the definition of similar triangles and identify and apply the relationships that exist when an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, including the geometric mean.

This study guide on bisectors, medians, and altitudes covers key vocabulary, different theorems, and facts about the altitude and triangles. It is available for download with free registration.
