The Trading Game (Social Studies Simulation)
This trading simulation game was developed during my practicum as part of a unit on Canada's trading partners but can be easily adapted for History and Social Studies lessons in other countries, as well as exploring ancient civilizations. The focus of the game is to instill an understanding of the uneven distribution of global resources, and is intended to be played with lots of time for a (guaranteed passionate!) discussion period afterwards. This game was modeled for the Ontario Curriculum (gr

Geometry:Concurrent Points GeoGebra Activity - Circumcenter & Incenter -w/ Key
Tired of teaching the same boring lessons on Circumcenter and Incenter? After years of using the standard book resources, I decided to create this activity that demonstrates some real-life applications of these concurrent points. This product includes 9 tasks (with complete answer key and screen shots of graphics). Each task will ask students to find a real life circumcenter or incenter. (While this product did not include any centroid or orthocenter problems, I left those options on the top

Translations, Rotations, and Reflections (Transformations in Geometry)
This PowerPoint presentation uses animations to demontrate 3 types of tranformations: translations, rotations, and reflections. Students can actively create their own transformational shape that can then be translated, rotated, or reflected to build a tessellation. Turn Geometry into a fun art project where students can add color to their tessellation to create an image out of te transformed shape.
Common Core, Geometry, transformations, translations, rotations, reflections

GPS Simulation - Applications of Algebra and Geometry - Aligned with Numb3rs
Are you tired of hearing your students say "When would you ever use this!?" This lesson is a perfect way to silence their complaints!
I originally designed this lesson to be used after watching the episode "Convergence"of the CBS television series Numb3rs. I think every middle/HS teacher should own copies of this series. If you aren't familiar with the show, it is basically a crime show where the characters solve crimes with math. (Similar to CSI) You might be able to download free episodes

Similar Triangles Digital Exploration | Triangles Task | Distance Learning
If you are doing distance learning, this geometry investigation is perfect for exploring the "Angle Angle Triangle Similarity Postulate (AA)." Students ultimately come to understand that when two angles of one triangle are congruent to two corresponding angles of another triangle, then the corresponding side lengths are proportional. Thus, the triangles are similar. If you want to stick with the "Angle Angle Angle Triangle Similarity Postulate (AAA)" then you can emphasize to students that when

Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal Practice
This worksheet consists of free response and multiplice choice problems assessing students knowledge on parallel lines cut by a transversal. It is aligned with the G.2 Virginia SOL and Common Core. It covers finding missing angles, proving two lines are parallel, and using algebraic expressions to find missing angles. The questions are very similar to what students should see on the EOC Geometry test.
