This activity is to be used as a discovery-based introduction to similar triangle theorems. Students will each be assigned a number 1, 2, or 3 (I use cards for this or counting off). They will get into groups by number and work on their station
Students can make a fun foldable with an example and work space to create basic geometric constructions using a straight edge and compass. I had students glue the foldable into their Interactive Notebook!
This is a unit project to go along with compound probability. Students in class will make a carnival game that involves compound probability. I,e. roll a dice and toss a coin, choose a card and pick an animal, etc. Students will design their game,
Students practice vocabulary by playing a fun game of truth or dare. Print out the cards on card stock, fold them and glue the inside to make the playing cards. I made one set for each group in my class. Have fun with the vocabulary! Editable Word
This is a full year of short CFA assessments. They are graded on a 1-4 scaled. I have students do them after we learn a new topic. The CFAs are mapped to the geometry standards for Common Core. Each CFA has at least two versions for retake purposes
This lesson contains 7 unique station activities for practicing volume. There is a student worksheet that goes along with all of the stations. There's a second version of the student worksheet that has missing information for students to fill in as
Students receive a handout describing an expository essay. I listed topics that students could choose from (what we had covered so far that year in math). Students write an expository essay explaining how to do something in math. I also provide a
This fun Pi Day activity is a great review and test prep for Geometry students. Students will get Froot Loops (or a store brand) and complete questions over the following:- build a frequency table- turn the frequency table into a histogram- convert
Students use spaghetti noodles to explore the Triangle Inequality Theorem and the Triangle Angle-Side Relationship Theorem. Each group needs 4 sticks of spaghetti that they cut to different lengths using a ruler and scissors. This is a Flipchart
Students will graph quadratic functions using vertex form and a restricted domain. The graphs spell out MOM in the end. They then fill out a letter to mom using quadratic function vocabulary that gives thanks to her for all she does. Have students
This file contains an ActivInspire flipchart file to teach transformations of quadratic functions in a student friendly way. Print out the notes 3 slides to a page to make the fun interactive note foldable for students to glue into their notebooks
Print off the posters containing all of the properties of transformed quadratic equations and hang them around the room. At the start of each round, students must pick a poster property to stand under. Then, display a new quadratic function. As a
A Promethean Board lesson for writing linear equations in slope-intercept, point-slope and standard form. Notes are color coded and includes a flow chart to help students write equations. I have a PDF of the slides and the actual Flipchart lesson
This is a fun way to help students review for the PARCC test. I copied the questions from the PARCC practice test (18 different questions). I printed 5 sets off on different colored card stock. The students will be in 5 groups and work on answering
Volume scavenger hunt includes prisms, cylinders, prisms and cones.
Hang the question cards around the room. I then gave each pair of students a starting card (this way they all start in different places). They solved their question and then found
I created this as a final project for my 7th graders. This replaced a traditional written assessment. Students had two class periods to work on their interview booklet. They were to research, review, study and answer questions over the main topics
How does scale factor change perimeter and area?
I had students graph two triangles with a scale factor of dilation of 2. Students looked to see how the area and perimeter are affected when a scale factor is applied. They then make conjectures
This is a summary lesson that ties together the unit on quadratics. Students solve a quadratic by factoring and the quadratic formula to find the x-intercepts. They also identify important parts of the graph (aos, y-int, vertex) and graph their
This is a word document that can be altered for your area. I had students spend a period in the computer lab researching different local population densities. Students research the town area and population and then calculate the density. They had a
