Tangency
Scale
Volume (sphere, cylinder, rectangular prism)
Displacement
Geometric probability
Average Rate of Change
Slope
Angle of Elevation, Depression

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

When presenting this mini project, you can discuss how precision and congruence are a huge part of origami and that students should be on the look out for the content discussed with regard to congruence in the course such as SAS, SSS, etc, reflexive property, angle and segment bisectors and more. After folding, students will present their ornament and discus

Trigonometry Golf
I like to call this activity Putt-Putt-Geometry. It is 9 glorious holes of trigonometry application! This works great as a Trig unit project, end of year project, or test review (maybe 1 or 2 holes for review). The students can work in groups, pairs, or individuals. If your students are not proficient with Trig, or you have not covered it yet, each hole can be done using the Pythagorean Theorem instead - simply tweak the directions a bit. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine do!

Introduction to Geometric Constructions (learn through play) with Answer Key
Geometry students often like to "play" with their compass and straightedge when they first use them: this activity is exactly what I use to get some mileage out of this urge to play: by just repeatedly drawing full circles (as opposed to arcs), students can generate midpoints, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, regular triangles, regular hexagons, and sixty and thirty degree angles.
