Mathematical Justification and Logic

Your geometry learners will thoroughly explore the Side-Splitting Theorem and how a line, parallel to one of the sides of a triangle, splits the other two sides proportionally. They then collaborate to complete three exploratory tasks...

What figure is formed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral? The geometry assessment task has class members work through the process of determining the figure inscribed in a quadrilateral. Pupils use geometric...

Investigate the attributes of polygons. A thorough set of lessons presents problem scenarios for elementary through high school classes. The first lessons focus on basic characteristics of polygons, including the line of symmetry. As the...

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to quadratic...

This unit stands right on the ground where algebra meets logic riddles, teasing out systems of linear relationships between variables in physical situations. But, more than that, the resources and graded student work with rubrics...

Create the ultimate miniature golf course. The 93-page model curriculum unit from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education contains nine lessons on understanding similarity in terms of both Euclidean geometry...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Most problems can be solved using more than one method. A instructional activity includes just nine questions but many more ways to solve each. Scholars must graph, solve, and justify quadratic problems.

Show your pupils that perimeter is linear and area is quadratic in nature with a short assessment task that requests learners to connect the graph and equation to a description about perimeter or area. Scholars then provide a...

Order in the court! Turn your geometry classroom into a courtroom and have your pupils defend their proofs. A fun and educational lesson allows both individual and group work with geometric proofs and group presentations in a court of...
