I have taught 7th, 8th, and high school math for 3 years now. I am certified in secondary and middle grades, ESL, and I am currently working on my Masters in Math Teaching
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 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
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.
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 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!
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.

Teaching style
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.
