Dive into Teaching

When I was hired as a Geometry teacher I dreaded teaching proofs. I remembered struggling with them when I was in high school. They made me cringe and it seemed as though there was no possible way to teach proofs without receiving that same reaction from my students. With UNO proof, those feelings changed. I have never seen such excitement during a lesson on proofs. I have used this lesson in multiple schools and the reaction is always the same. They LOVE it! Their understanding of proo

Transformation Tetris is often used as an introduction to transformations. Students can use their prior knowledge of the game of Tetris to better understand rotation, reflection, and translation. This also allows students to problem solve, think, and collaborate. I assign this as work after the previous unit's test. This keeps students busy and engaged while others are still working. Students are given a rough draft grid on one side and a final draft on the other. This makes for beautiful stude

This city design project is a way to assess student’s understanding of angle pairs formed by intersecting lines and transversals through parallel lines. Students can showcase creativity while placing buildings in the designated locations. There are enough streets (lines) that students city designs will vary and you will be able to identify any copying/cheating. Directions and rubric are included. No prep.

In this project, students will plan a 3 day (or 3 stop) road trip within the continental United States. There is a map laid over a coordinate plane so that students can mark their starting point and their 3 different stops. Students will then calculate the distance that they travel between each stop and find a midpoint for gas/food/bathroom/etc. This project combines a review of the coordinate plane, distance, midpoint, and geography. This project is 3 pages. The first is the map on a coordinate
