Parallel Lines Cut by Transversal City Designer Project - Project Based Learning

Created by

This resource, for Geometry (used in NC Math 2), is a project in which students design their own city with 4 parallel lines cut by 2 transversals and placing different stores and landmarks around their city using their knowledge of special angle pairs. Through this project based learning (PBL) activity, students creatively display their understanding of angle relationships in a real life manner. See the preview to view the full resource.The following angle relationships are included on this proj

Math PBL: Connecting Geometry with the Middle Ages

Created by

BrainGearz

This design challenge was created to connect the 7th grade geometry unit to the social studies unit about the Middle Ages (taught in grade 7 in Ohio). The teacher document includes a link to the document that you can copy and edit for your desired math standards.The essential questions overall were "Were the Dark Ages really dark?" and "What is the lasting legacy of the Middle Ages?" Since the arts is a major way that we continue to engage in this period of history, we decided to use our build

Angles of Reflection Bulls-eye Activity

Created by

SmartySummerCamp

In this activity, students are challenged with reflecting a laser light off of a mirror and hitting a target. In order to do this, students must construct a model of how the laser will travel, calculating the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection, using the plane of the mirror's surface and the normal line that is perpendicular to the plane of the mirror. This activity that can be adapted to be used in any physical science class on waves, rays, and reflection or in a math class on angle
