Problem of the Month - Petting Zoo Geometry

Created by

The Masked Mathematician

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.

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
