Many students find it difficult to identify the Hypotenuse, and Adjacent and Opposite sides when learning Right Triangle Trigonometry. This worksheet shows an easy 5 step method to help those students who are struggling with the concept. The worksheet starts with some introductory notes, then there are two worked out examples, two triangles for guided examples, and independent practice.
This worksheet (and accompanying key) shows two methods of calculating the geometric mean given two extremes, and calculating the missing extreme given the geometric mean and a known extreme. There are visual organizers for the visual learners as well as written directions for the more language oriented learners. There is also a geometric explanation of the geometric mean (with right triangles).
There are 3 pages of notes, and 4 pages of problems. There are 24 problems, each of one of two types
This Power Point shows two ways of visualizing the triangle sum theorem, through animations. At the end it has a summary slide, stating the triangle sum theorem.
This is a very step by step worksheet, geared towards students who have difficulty using the slope formula. It starts with a quick review of fractions concepts. It then has 3 parts necessary to calculate the slope: labeling one point (x, y), labeling two points (x1, y1), and using the formula. Each of the three parts has notes/explanation, a worked out example, a guided example, and independent practice.
After a student struggled learning the properties of conic sections (circle, parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola), I decided to create something that contains all the properties. Students can use this as a reference when they are studying conic sections.
This is a worksheet which allows students to discover how to graph inequalities in two variables. Although this worksheet assumes that students know how to graph equations, it starts with a quick review of graphing equations. It then has 4 inequalities that are graphed, with a matching inequality for them to do, and questions to help them focus on whether the line is broken or solid and whether the graph is shaded above or below the line. It has a summary page so students can synthesize what th
These are 6 basic foldables that can be used to teach Geometry vocabulary. The foldables are simple so that they are easily used for a variety of notes.
This is a visual organizer for surface are and volume of prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. Teachers can add their own pictures or word problems (and add more rows if necessary), and students can use the organizers to calculate surface area and volume.
