Graphing Polygons on the Coordinate Plane to Find Area/Perimeter
This activity asks the students to plot various ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect the points to make a polygon. Then they are expected to calculate the area and/or perimeter of each shape. The first worksheet has a square, two rectangles and a triangle. The triangle is starred to show higher level thinking. Each polygon is to be colored a different color. The second worksheet asks the students to plot the points of five polygons: a triangle, two rectangles and two composite f
Geometry Project - Geometry Town
Students will create a town map made of different geometric figures. They will demonstrate their knowledge of parallel and perpendicular lines, acute and obtuse angles, geometric shapes as well as many other geometric concepts through this creative and fun project.
This project can be adapted to higher level geometry courses and high school classes. You can add parameters to the geometric shaped buildings (ex. must label the dimensions of the building given a certain area or perimeter).
End of Year Project
This EIGHT PROJECT BUNDLE (!!!!!) will keep your Algebra 1, Geometry, or Algebra 2 students busy for the last 1 - 3 weeks of school doing either independent or group projects, with or without access to technology. Projects include rubrics and grading criteria for the most part, although I sometimes just grade this with a daily participation grade rather than for correctness. Project topics include:

Surface Area Project: Rectangular Solids and Cylinders
Students will bring in a box (and cylinder) from home and use it to find surface area (using 2 different methods), volume and to create a net. Students will also review measurement and use appropriate units (squared and cubed).
This project will enable the students to actually understand the surface area formula. (instead of just plugging numbers into a formula) They will not only use the formula, but also calculate the area of each of the individual 6 faces of a rectangular solid (and parts o

Wheel of Theodorus Pythagorean Theorem Art Project
Any chance I can to give students the ability to be creative in math, I take it! This is an enrichment project I use during my Pythagorean Theorem unit. Students are tasked with applying their knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem to create a Wheel of Theodorus. The download is a word doc., so you have the ability to edit it to fit the needs of your classroom.
Finding area by decomposing shapes into triangles and rectangles.
This packet gives students the opportunity to practice finding area of quadrilaterals and other polygons by decomposing the shapes in triangles and rectangles. Students need to be able to find the area of rectangles and triangles in order to be successful on these problems. The first 10 problems challenge students to find the area of quadrilaterals and other polygons. The remaining 5 problems challenge students to find the fraction of shaded region inside of polygons. These problems are simi

Math 7 End of Year Restaurant Project
Great end of year project for students to work on after state testing. Requires students to partner up and plan a theme for a restaurant, develop a floor plan, make a menu, calculate surface area, find percent change, create an advertisement, and present their restaurant to the class.
Presentations are done in class in a 'shark tank' manner where students are competing to be chosen as the winner. Classmates and the teacher vote to decide who came up with the best restaurant!

Triangle Congruence Matching Activity
This is a triangle congruence matching activity that I've used in my class as a two person matching activity. I've used this at the end of class to see if students knew how to solve these problems and as a warm up lesson to start off the day. There are 10 matching sets of cards: 2 for SSS, 2 for SAS, 2 for ASA, 2 for AAS, and 2 for Hypotenuse Leg (HL). I hope your students enjoy this.
I have a website that has videos to explain all of these triangle congruence statements. Go to www.doucehou
