Students participate in finding the slope of a sand pile and then other materials. In this geology lesson, students describe what happens to the piles of materials when they are poured through a funnel. Students measure the slope using a...

Eighth graders find missing angles of triangles, quadrilaterals and angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal. They use area formulas to find the area of a figure; find the complement and supplement of a given angle; and know...

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

Students identify angles.  In this angles that pair lesson, students identify adjacent, vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles.  They use straws, pretzel sticks to demonstrate given types of angles. 

In this triangulation learning exercise, learners solve and complete 11 steps of an experiment to determine the distance to a far away object using triangulation and trigonometry. First, they select a far away object and create a...

For this Aurora Borealis worksheet, students read about how early scientists used triangulation to measure the height of the Aurora Borealis. Students solve 3 problems using triangulation.

In this latitude and longitude worksheet, students complete 4 activities to demonstrate understanding. Students use a protractor to measure angles on a map of the earth. Students fill out a latitude and longitude chart after studying a...

Students rewrite word problems and solve using math. In this word problem lesson, students gather data and observe the data. They relate this process to the scientific method and math. They review their data to be able to answer...

In this distance between stars worksheet, students plot the distance between the sun and 11 other stars on a 2 dimensional grid using a protractor and a ruler. They determine the distances between various stars and they find the shortest...

Students explore the necessity for standards of measurement and measure length, volume, mass and angles. In this measurement lesson plan, students use their hand and foot to measure objects in the room. They compare their measurements to...

Sixth graders engage in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, and connecting to represent and solve problems, using geometric models.

Young scholars collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

Young scholars identify and research navigational tools used in deep sea explorations. They are introduced to a compass, the Global Positioning System and sonar technology and then describe their uses in underwater exploration.

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Students participate in activties examining ratios and proportions. They use graphs to interpret data showing the government's budget for prisons. They present what they have learned to the class.

Students operate a GPS unit to investigate the direction of glacier movement. They describe the motion of glacier movement by interpreting a graph. Students explain how scientists use glacier striations to determine glacier movement.

Students determine that two figures are similar or congruent by investigating figures that are similar and figures that are congruent. They prove that two figures are similar or congruent by using definitions, postulates, and theorems.

In this refraction through a triangle activity, students use a given diagram of light striking a triangular piece of plexiglass to determine the light ray's angle of incidence, the ray's angle of refraction, they use Snell's Law to...

In this math review worksheet, students review for their 7th grade exam using a variety of worksheets on different topics. There are 35 problems plus some word problems in the worksheet booklet.  

Students measure angles using a protractor. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve for the missing angles using equations set to the theorem of triangles. They measure missing angles through construction and identify congruent angles.

Ninth graders investigate how ancient cultures viewed their world in terms of astronomy. They read and discuss an informational handout, construct an astrolabe, and locate stars and constellations using star charts.

Students view a PowerPoint for a warm-up lesson. They practice measuring around the classroom, measuring such things as the length and width of a desk, pencil, door, and book. Students use a website to practice measuring angles.

Students make a circle graph. In this graphing lesson, the teacher conducts a class survey, then demonstrates how to make a pie graph. When students are comfortable with the material, they use a worksheet to create their own graph.

Learners construct a sketch of the planets in our solar system using concentric circles and angles. In this solar system lesson plan, students plot the position of each planet on concentric circles using graph paper. The sun is included...
