Problem of the Month - Petting Zoo Geometry

Created by

Problem of the Month: Through fun, quirky, challenging word problems, students will apply their knowledge of perimeter and area to help set up a petting zoo. Students will tackle a series of problems with increasing difficulty. The level A problems involve calculating area and perimeter of common shapes, and the level E problems involve maximizing area of a compound figure with constraints. This is designed for middle schoolers - sixth graders will be able to engage with the problems, and even e

Elliptical Orbits Project (PBL) - Precalculus Conic Sections & Eccentricity

Created by

Megan Haynes

This engaging Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity brings conic sections to life by having students explore how ellipses model real-world orbits. Students select a planet, moon, comet, or satellite and use research to gather key data such as eccentricity and orbital measurements, then create a mathematical model using the equation of an ellipse. They will construct and label a diagram, analyze how eccentricity affects the shape of the orbit, and present their findings through a visual project.

Geometry, Angles and Measurement in Art

Created by

AnnieLT

An excellent culminating project or differentiated/compacting assignment for your geometry and angles unit. The students will learn about Cubism's history, defining elements, and important artists. They will view major works of Cubist art with guiding questions about geometric attributes, lines and angles. Finally, a project is presented where students will recreate a famous work of art. They will write a paper that analyzes the geometric attributes, lines, and angles of the work. (Specific guid

Da Vinci Parachute Prototypes -- Hands-on STEM

Created by

Mark Hess & Portable Gifted and Talented

In this lesson, students solve geometry problems and learn background physics concepts as they build a working model of Leonardo Da Vinci’s parachute. Logic, critical thinking, a bit of Renaissance history, writing and supporting conclusions with details from a source—it’s all here too! Make this extended lesson a cross-curricular, standards-based mini-unit, or just make it a cool building activity. Pick and choose the level of commitment right for you and your students. With the suggested e
