In need of a fun way to define an isosceles triangle? This activity has learners fold a paper in half and then cut it to create an isosceles triangle. They determine the line of symmetry by folding the triangle in half and then use the...

In this geometry worksheet, students will answer questions to determine if a shape is a triangle and if so, what type of triangle.

Are there different types of triangles? Yes there are, and this presentation describes each by its properties or characteristics. Right, equilateral, isosceles, and scalene are all shown and defined. The presentation isn't particularly...

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

Looking for a quick introduction or review for area formulas?  Terminology and formulas for the area of squares, rectangles and triangles is presented. Connections with exponents and the Pythagorean Theorem are demonstrated.

As a reference sheet for types of triangles, this worksheet would be good for students to keep in their binder or to take notes about; however, it would need to accompany an existing lesson as there is no activity beyond basic...

In this classifying shapes using Venn diagrams worksheet, students draw examples of isosceles, right, and equilateral triangles in the proper sections of the first graphic organizer. They draw polygons, both regular and quadrilaterals,...

Here is a well-designed presentation on different types of angles for your young geometers. In it, learners view slides that clearly illustrate what these angles are, and how they are formed. Excellent practice when introducing these...

Problem solve across the content standards. The presentation slides provide 19 sample items from the Smarter Balanced high school assessment. Items illustrate Claim 2, problem solving, of the test and are drawn from all the high school...

In this formulas worksheet, students write the area, perimeter, and volume formulas of 17 2D and 3D polygons.  Students list properties of various types of triangles and the metric conversions for metric units.

In this decimals, percent and scientific notation worksheet, 9th graders solve various types of problems that range from shading an indicated part of a shape to calculating using scientific notation to express their answer. They express...

Math can be a problem in eighth grade. Sample items show how problem solving exists within the eighth grade standards. Part of the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series, the presentation contains eight items to illustrate the...

A really useful resource contains 116 slides covering basic geometric concepts related to 2-D or plane shapes. Shape properties, translations, reflections, congruence, symmetry, and grid work are all laid out in a comprehensive and...

Represent motion with arrows and call them vectors! The lesson is a presentation that models the mathematics involved when determining a resultant vector. It addrssses motions that are parallel, perpendicular, and a combination of...

Sort this resource into the Use pile. Scholars investigate attributes of quadrilaterals and then use the results to sort and classify the shapes labeling each figure with their properties to justify the classifications.

Back and forth, and back again. A presentation on harmonic motion would make a great backdrop for a directed instruction lesson in Honors Physics. It includes diagrams, formulas, graphs, and a few sample problems.

In this Internet research worksheet, students are directed to a specific site pertaining to the food pyramid. Students answer 11 questions using information they learn on the Web site.

Explore behavior of particles that cannot be seen with a detailed PowerPoint presentation that outlines the basics of electrostatics. The presentation addresses the charge of subatomic particles, conductors and insulators,...

This lesson explains why similar triangles can be used to make indirect measurements, and provides an example.

This lesson will define scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles. It is 1 of 5 in the series titled "Scalene, Isosceles, and Equilateral Triangles."
