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

Students will use a piece of dubble bubble gum to answer the questions: How much paper is wasted in wrapping dubble bubble gum? How much gum is in each piece of dubble bubble gum? I have 2 versions, one that details every step exactly and one that requires a little more thinking on the students' parts. I have also included an answer sheet, although answers will vary greatly with the actual measuring.

Da Vinci Parachute Prototypes -- Hands-on STEM

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.

Desktop Zip Lines -- GATE STEM for Upper Elementary

Students not only study physical science, they design with it, build with it, they write about it, calculate with it, and they live it. It’s the engineering process in miniature as our engineering teams design and then build desktop ziplines from scratch. Students will draft plans, build zipline towers, choose the best zippy materials, and assemble their ziplines. Hey, it’s incredible fun . . . but it’s not just fun and games here! Students will use their ziplines to collaborate on a physica

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.
