Bringing Math Forward

The PowerPoint presentation defines and illustrates tessellations. There are multiple examples which include different transformations: translation, rotation, reflection. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ The student project allows students to express their creativity by creating their own tessellations. They are allowed to use different transformations in order to create their tessellation. A grading rubric is included as well as a l

This project allows students to create a tessellation using a shape they determine and any transformations that they can use. The project allows students to use only translations or to add in reflections and/or rotations. More points are awarded for using multiple transformations and for creativity. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ If you purchase this project, a link to a Google doc with the student info is included in the purchase.

This bundle contains a video and Promethean Board flipchart which clearly explain how to solve mult-step equations; they contain step-by-step instructions as well as student examples. The worksheet requires students to write and solve multi-step equations to determine the measures of angles of different polygons. The STEM project requires students to design and build one of these polygons. All three may be used together or separately or in any combination. The STEM project can be differentiated

This document contains two student activities: a worksheet with multi-step equations and a STEM project. Both involve students using information about an animal pen in different shapes. For the worksheet, students must write and solve equations to determine the measures of angles of pens in the shapes of different polygons. In the STEM project, students must design and build a model (but not a scale model) of the pen which the teacher assigns them. There are links to Google docs for the workshe

There are three items in this bundle: an introductory PowerPoint with vocabulary and examples on both the theorem and the converse, a student worksheet with problems on the theorem and its converse, a STEM project in which students create a stained glass window.

In this bundle, three items are included. The first is an introductory PowerPoint which explains the Pythagorean Theorem and which has student examples. Secondly, there is a student worksheet where students can apply what they have learned; there is a link to a Google doc with the student portion of the worksheet. Finally, there is a STEM project in which students must design and build a home for a gnome.

This bundle includes an introductory PowerPoint and a student worksheet on the Pythagorean Theorem as well as an introductory PowerPoint and student worksheet with an added activity on the distance formula. Answer keys are provided for both workhsheets as well as the distance formula activity. Also included is the STEM project, Pythagoras' Stained Glass Windows.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, students design and create right triangles. They then integrate these right triangles into a stained glass window. This STEM project can be cross-curricular with ELA as students will describe impressions of their observations of stained glass windows. A detail rubric is included to help with assessment. The final products look beautiful when posted on a sunny window.

In the Go Go A Logo activity, students create a logo for a new ultimate Frisbee team and the logo must be according to the owners' specifications. One requirement is that the logo contain at least one transformation (dilation, translation, reflection, rotation). Students are required to explain their transformations and their logos. The videos which accompany the activity explain the four types of transformations. Also, the videos include vocabulary, notes, and/or student problems to help insure

This bundle contains the four videos for transforming figures in the coordinate plane. Each video has vocabulary, notes, and/or student problems to the help teachers identify students who have watched and participated in the videos. Each video is accompanied by an ActivInspire flipchart. The titles of videos, their lengths, and the student requirements may be found in the free "Summary of Student Requirements for Videos" found in my store.

There are four projects included here. Two are STEM projects which have students design and build composite figures with constraints on volume and surface area. The other two have students design the figures but there is no requirement to build them. The latter two projects can be used for distance learning or when less time is available. Solids used are cones, hemispheres, cylinders, prisms, and pyramids.

This bundle has a PowerPoint presentation and a student activity, both on the distance formula. The PowerPoint presentation inclues the derivation of the distance formula from the Pythagorean Theorem, student examples, and an exit ticket to check for student understanding. The worksheet contains distance formula problems with integers, fractions, and decimals as well as an added color by number activity. The activity can be done on hard copies or virtually.

In this project, students are placed in the role of a gnome architect and builder and are tasked with designing and creating a home for a gnome. They are required to have right angles in the home but are not allowed to use a protractor; thus, they must use the Pythagorean Theorem to ensure all angles are right angles. In the teacher notes, there is a link to a Google doc with the relevant student portions that can be shared with a class.

This PowerPoint serves as an introduction to the Pythagorean Theorem. Included in the presentation are vocabulary, step-by-step instructions, and student examples. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem along with examples are also included.

This PowerPoint presentation introduces students to the distance formula. First, the distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem. Then, several examples are presented which can be done with students or by students independently and checked as a whole class. Finally, there is an exit ticket to check students' understanding.

In this activity, students design a logo for a new ultimate frisbee team according to the owners specifications which include one or more transformations. In the teacher notes, there is a PowerPoint embedded with well-known logos and whether or not the logos contain different types of transformations. The activity may be completed by individual or pairs of students. Additionally, the activity can easily be cross-curricular with ELA. The activity could also be used for distance learning with stud

This PowerPoint gives the definition of a tessellation and illustrates how a tessellation works. There are multiple examples given with different transformations: translations, rotations, and reflections

This worksheet includes problems on the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. Two forms of the worksheet are included: one with room for student work and one with only the problems. An answer sheet is included. A link to a Google doc with the student portion of the document is included in the teacher's notes.

This packet contains two activities. The first is a student worksheet containing 15 problems on the distance formula; problems include integers, decimals, fractions. The second is an activity in which students create a picture by using their answers to color in appropriate squares; this activity can be done on a hard copy or electronically.

In this video, students are given examples to follow when dilating figures in the coordinate plane. There are also examples for students to do and vocabulary to make note of for the teacher to check to see if students have watched the video. All student requirements may be found in the free "Video Requirements" document found in my store. Additionally, there is an ActivInspire flipchart to accompany the video.
