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.

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

Vector Game - Mine Maze
The Mine Maze game combines movement with Vectors (magnitude & direction) with the Unit Circle directions. Students will navigate themselves through a maze of hidden mines while using vectors. The first to traverse the entire board wins! WORKS BEST IF YOU MAKE A BOARD OUT OF TAPE ON THE FLOOR! Directions to the game are included, as well as an audio clip that explains the instructions and gameplay. Feeling creative? This game is very flexible, and allows for use at many different grade level

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.

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

Design an A Frame House
A project for any student who has learned triangle trigonometry. Students design an A frame house to certain specifications and within a certain budget. Costs for various aspects of the home are given. Students must calculate floor space, framing, roofing, foundation size, etc. This project makes a good multiple day homework assignment. It is recommended that the teacher go over problems in class that relate to the specific tasks needed to complete this project.

Social Issue Project: Dangerous Dolls?
During this project, students will measure themselves, measure action figures/dolls, and scale up the doll proportionally to life size, based on their height. Then, they will trace themselves on a large piece of butcher block paper. On that same paper, they will sketch out the life-sized doll proportions and create a body outline of what the doll would look like if it were their same height. They should finish with something that looks terribly disproportionate. From there, you can have a debate

Area - Unfolding a Regular Polygon
This interactive Geogebra file allows you to use a slider to choose the number of sides on the regular polygon from 3-12 sides. Then it allows you to manipulate side length using a slider. Lastly, you can use a slider to "unfold" the regular polygon into triangles to make a connection between triangle area formula and the regular polygon formula.

This resource provides a guide for students to discover the ratio between circumference and diameter. The students will measure the circumference and diameter of various circles with a piece of string, then create a ratio and convert to decimal. I ask the students to bring in a circle from home previous to this lesson so that there are a variety of sizes for the students to practice on.

Geometry - Modeling the Mirror Method - GSP
This zipped file contains a geometer's sketchpad file where you can model the measuring of a tall tree using the mirror method and a pdf file with 5 situations to consider with the file. This is a great way to model the measuring of a tall object if you can't take your class outside or use it before you take your class outside. Students are challenged to think about how the model changes if various measurements change.

Proving Congruency of Parallel Lines and Transversals Activity and Practice
This Activity allows students to use Pipe-cleaners to create angles in a transversal and compare all other angles in the transversal to find congruency. They then will define pertinent terms help answer questions. Also students will use what they discover to set up equations to solve for a variable. Students will also use a protractor to prove congruency as well. Outstanding hands on activity for Geometry with only the use of a protractor and pipe-cleaners.
