A quadrilateral is drawn on the coordinate plane, and eighth grade geometers find the length of each side and the diagonals by applying the Pythagorean theorem. 

"Fore!" All right, no one really yells this out in miniature golf, but this well-defined activity will have your charges using lots of numbers in their unique design of a miniature golf hole. Included in the activity criteria is the...

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...

There are many different ways to show a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.  Here is a nice hands-on paper cutting activity that shows a graphic representation. You can even challenge your young Pythagoreans to come up with their own...

Students create a project applying their math skills as they discuss energy conservation. For this geometry lesson, students define vocabulary relating to the environment and energy conservation. They construct a building that allow lots...

In this physics 240:10 instructional activity, students calculate the speed and distance as presented in the given word problems. Students apply their understanding of Hooke's law to answer the questions provided.

In this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and rotations...

Students explore intertidal zones. In this intertidal zones lesson, students work in small groups and use ready-made materials to create a model of intertidal zones. Resources are provided.

Use your knowledge about vertical angles to find missing angle measures. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this activity, students visualize and explore the angles that are formed when two lines intersect. By measuring angles formed by intersecting lines, they enhance their understanding of vertical angles, supplementary angles, and a...

Everything you wanted to know about angles and more, including 1) how to measure angles 2) types of angles 3) angle relationships and 4) angles around a transversal.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identify adjacent and vertical angles formed by intersecting lines and then find missing angle measures.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identify adjacent and vertical angles formed by intersecting lines and then find missing angle measures.

Use understanding of vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles to set up an appropriate equation to solve for a missing angle measure. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

Students are challenged to identify and measure angles created by parallel lines and a transversal as well as complementary and supplementary pairs.

This study guide on angles covers key vocabulary, ways to name angles, how to measure them, the Protractor Postulate and the Angle Addition Postulate, types of angles, congruent angles, angle bisectors, and angle pairs. It is available...

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan introduces the concept of acute, obtuse and right angles. Also, as the lesson proceeds vertical, adjacent, alternate interior and alternate exterior angles are explored. Plenty of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students solve complementary angle problems. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt practice...

In this lesson plan, students learn about four types of angles: adjacent, vertical, supplementary, and complementary. They explore the relationships between these types of angles by folding paper, measuring angles with a protractor, and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Finding the measures of angle pairs including the measure of missing angles by using given information.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the horizontal distance travelled by a projectile. Students will be able to modify the starting height, initial speed and angle at which the projectile is fired....
