This is a guided activity, individual practice, skills showcase, and assessment. It covers measuring angles in polygons, adding angles to create specific angle measures, and then actually measuring angles (you can estimate). Materials needed: pattern blocks
This activity is designed to help students create the proofs for the Alternate Interior/ Exterior Angle Theorem, and the Consecutitive (Same Side) interior/ exterior angle theorem. It is a cut and paste activity.
The first 4 pages are the outlines for the four proofs, the last 4 pafes are tables of the steps and reasons. Note that there are 4 identical tables on each page (save trees when copying!). I make a set of the first 4 pages for each student, then copy and cut out the statements and rea
This file contains 3 quizzes. One regular quiz, a modified one, and an advanced one. Each quiz has a key included (pg 4-6 of the document). Some material was borrowed from various curriculum, but I compiled and created this quiz.
Topics assessed:
Pythagorean theorem
Corollaries of the Pythagorean Theorem
Pythagorean Triples
Word problems involving Pythagorean Theorem/ Triples
This can be used to introduce trig functions of any angle (more than just on the unit circle).
Includes six puzzles with the point on the circle, and then the sine and cosine of each point.
Learning objective:
Students will know how to evaluate trigonometric functions of any angle, and use reference angles to evaluate trigonometric functions.
Print this on card stock, cut out the cards. Have students shuffle them and lay them out face down. They need to flip them over two at a time and look for matches.
Covers angle pairs formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, as well as linear pairs, vertical angles, complementary angles, supplementary angles, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and slope.
Can be used as an informal assessment to check for understanding.
Includes both distance and midpoint formula, when to use them, and room to do two examples of each with your students. Print the foldable front to back, fold top and bottom fourth of the page over to cover examples on back. Great for interactive notebooks!
Use this foldable to teach students the differences between a line, line segment, and a ray. Angle is included on the foldable to show that it is only two rays joined by a common endpoint.
Print it front to back, fold the top fourths down to the midline to cover the picture/ description. Fill these sections in with your students.
This puzzle provides either a radius or an apothem and identifies the regular polygon. The student then has to match it with the correct area. To make this simpler you can erase (or white out before copying) the border of the puzzle. Keep an uncut version as the key.

In my geometry class I give a daily homework quiz. This is generally one question from the homework they have to copy and answer. They will staple this sheet (cut into thirds) to the front top of their paper and turn it in. I grade homework on completion and 30% of their grade is if they got this question (or questions) right.

This includes 3 different quizzes. One is a regular quiz, one is for pre-ap geometry, and one is modified. It addresses surface area and volume of 3 dimensional figures, as well as unit conversion with surface area and volume.
This is designed for a high school geometry course. Print the PDF front to back, fold over leaving "undefined terms" visible on the side. Instruct students to cut on the lines under each term so you can lift and see the picture and description (for you to fill out with them).
Great for an interactive notebook!
This activity will help students visually understand the concept of the sampling distribution of sample means.
These years represent the dates on a penny in a collection. The mean of the pennies in the collection is 50 with a standard deviation of 4.
This activity can be used to help students see the sampling distribution of a sample mean.
Cut each card out. Place in a container.
Have students draw sample size of 4, find the mean, and record their mean on a dot plot. Students can then analy
This is a card matching game for quadrilaterals. When photocopied front and back, the cards will line up. Page 1 pairs with page 3, 2 with page 4, and 5 and 6 go together (with two blanks in case you want to add to it)
When you cut the cards out, there are 8 per page. I generally print them on card stock and laminate them before cutting. There are 18 cards in a set. Students should start with the cards that have the description and image side up, and when they match them they can flip it over to
This activity allows students to practice synthetic and long division. Can easily be used as a group work, round robin, think pair share, or any other informal assessment.
This file includes four practice problems. I have used them as a quick informal assessment to students understanding after a lesson, they can also be used in place of homework.
You could also incorporate Kagan practices into this lesson like sage and scribe or round robin, I have not tried it, but if you do let me know how it goes!
Includes:
-One Student Recording Sheet
-Six Area and Perimeter Puzzles
Cut puzzles for students ahead of time. Students can work in groups, pairs, or individually depending on level.
I use this in my geometry class as their first quiz. It covers the undefinable terms, segment addition postulate, angle addition postulate, linear pairs, and vertical angles.
Directions:
Copy front and back, cut laminate and use as needed!
Cards 1-8 positive only
Cards 9-16 positive and negative mixed
Cards 17-24 mixed, higher integers
This is a diagram created on power point that shows the relationships between the legs and hypotenuse of special right triangles. Specific relationships are color coded for easy identification.
Use on student notebooks to keep an ongoing list of important vocabulary terms. Columns for Vocab Word, Definition, "In My Own Words" and visual representation. Helps make student learning concrete and helps students tie learning to real life examples and meanings.

I prefer to do as little direct instruction as possible. I think that kids learn best from doing, and from experiences and discussions with their peers.
