Geometry City Map
Have your students showcase their knowledge of geometry in this fun project! Students are required to use the rubric to design their own city map, using shapes and lines in their city. Requirements are color coded for easy assessment. Students self check requirements before teacher grades. My students had a BLAST doing this!

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

Area of Complex Figures + Ratios - Real World Multi-Step and Projects GATE
I love to teach geometry because students must combine logic, visual perception, and math to solve problems. Why not add art and history into the mix as well?
Here is a challenging unit to reinforce basic understanding of calculating the area of complex figures. It will challenge the brightest students in your classroom!
We use vintage hotel and restaurant signs to solve problems about calculating the area of complex figures.
We begin with the basics and then ramp the level of challenge u

Area and Volume Project
Goal: To find the square footage of your dream home. Then, to find the volume of your dream home. Finally, to build a to-scale model of your home.
We discussed the volume by deciding how high the walls will be. Feel free to adjust to your needs. We are building our models out of foam board and cardboard.

Create a Polygon Scene
Hello fellow teachers! After reviewing all the different types of polygons, it can be tedious to have students just list them all out with their correct side lengths. This project will give your kiddos a fun way to show you what they've learned in a creative and imaginative way. The aim of the project is to have them create one scene comprised of at least one of each of the different polygons they have learned about (this project includes triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, paralle

Kid STEAM Construction for GATE 3rd - 7th Grades BUILD A WORKING CAPSTAN
Maybe all you folks on the coast know what a capstan is, but we land-locked folks haven’t a clue. OK, so I know now . . . a capstan is an interesting combination of simple machines often used on the high seas, a fun construction project full of little building skill challenges, and a great tool for a hands-on geometry experiment.
In this lesson, we discover what a capstan is using primary source photos, build a scale-model capstan, experiment with it, and gather data to make this a true STEAM

Friday Math -- Sports Pennants Geometry Design for 21st Century Learners
Powerful visual-mathematical connections with hands-on design challenges. . .
Everyone likes to cheer for someone, and the traditional pennant has been a mainstay of “fandom” for more than a century. Tried, tested, and refined with GATE nonverbal ability 4th and 5th graders, this lesson should be a hit with 6th grade, 7th grade (or beyond) too!
In this lesson, students use geometry, number sense, and measurement skills to design their own pennants. The keyword is PRECISION in these designs.
