Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.

Students study West Virginia quilts. For this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

In this Statistics and Probability activity, learners solve problems involving simple probability.  The one page activity contains five multiple choice questions.  Answers are provided.

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

Learners discuss human behavior, sexual selection and the underlying genetic and evolutionary reasons for mate selection. The, in groups, they rate the attractiveness of certain individuals and measure facial features for symmetry.

In this algebra instructional activity, students graph quadratic functions and identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, maximum and minimum and intercepts. There are 7 questions.

Students investigate parabolas and their equations.  In this parabolas and their equations lesson plan, students graph quadratic equations on their graphing calculator.  Students find the axis of symmetry of a parabola. ...

Learners discover how to sketch a face. For this sketching lesson, students explore the steps to construct a facial drawing. Spacing and symmetry of facial features are explored.

In this graphing quadratic functions worksheet, learners create a function table and graph quadratic functions. This four-page worksheet contains 33 problems. A graph is supplied with each function. One example is provided at the...

In this further differentiation worksheet, students solve and complete 7 various types of problems. First, they sketch the graph of each equation using a stationary point. Then, students find the stationary points of each and describe...

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

How does something go from here to there? Describe it with a transformation. Young mathematicians learn how to translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate an image. 

What type of quadrilateral is that? Discover the difference between the types of quadrilaterals. Small groups investigate types of quadrilaterals using geometry software to find their properties. To keep track of the different...

Learners examine the process of drawing a picture to scale. They analyze and discuss real-life blueprints for a house, and create a scale drawing of an original invention using calculators and rulers.
