Eighth graders investigate linear equations.  For this Algebra I lesson, 8th graders explore the effects that manipulating a linear equation has on the graph of the function through the use of a java applet.

Eighth graders draw right triangles and identify the parts of a right triangle: right angle, interior and exterior angles, hypotenuse and legs. They predict and identify any relationships that exist between the sides of a right...

Students investigate the Sierpinski triangle and calculate the ratio and area of the triangle. In this fractals lesson plan, students calculate parts of a Sierpincki triangle. They use Google Earth to help them construct the different...

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive lesson.

Learners rewrite equations using algebraic symbols. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations using the slope and y intercept. They make predictions about their graphs and analyze the results.

Finally, an interactive Sketchpad for geometry that is free! Students are able to understand various theorems, definitions, and objects through observations and explorations using an interactive applet.

The interactive applet allows learners to explore the relationships between side length, area, and perimeter. Students see how changes in the scale factor influence the ratio of areas and perimeters. [Requires Java.]
