Nuts & Bolts: is Classification, Arbitrary, Or Not?

Students draw a chart (included in the instructional activity) to use with their investigation. They review terminology of triangles and receive toothpicks to use in the instructional activity. Beginning with three toothpicks, students...

Students compare and contrast angles and identify them as acute, obtuse, right, or straight angles. They create rays and angles using uncooked spaghetti, read and discuss key vocabulary terms, and complete a variety of geometry worksheets.

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

Explore the nuts and bolts of absolute value inequalities using nuts and bolts. Pupils use an interactive to see how the minimum and maximum radii of a nut-and-bolt combination change based on the target radius and the allowable error....

Make a game of angle classification. Using the direction of the pool ball, scholars determine the measure of the created angles. They work to create and classify different types of angles throughout an engaging interactive.

Classify this resource into the "Use" pile. Scholars use an interactive coordinate plane to plot polygons given coordinates for the vertices. They use properties to classify each polygon and answer a few challenge questions regarding the...

Acute or obtuse? Seems right to me! As scholars explore the simulation, they investigate angle measures. Questions ask them to classify the angles using correct naming conventions.

Before determining the classification of a three-dimensional shape, you need to know about the characteristics of a vertex, edge, and face. Go step-by-step using a prism, and discover what each aspect refers to and how it applies to...

Use mathematics to determine what is required to beat world champion Usain Bolt in a 200-meter race. This video focuses on systems of equations that are visualized by completing a table of values and looking for a point of intersection...

Polly want a polygon? Young mathematicians sort shapes using an interactive. They classify the shapes as convex polygons, concave polygons, or not polygons.
