Geometry Made Easy

Students work with a partner. One partner does the problems on the left side, the other partner does the questions on the right side. The questions are different, however, the answers are the same. One both students arrive at the same answer they can move on to the next question.

This activity consists of four stations. 1. Translate a figure according to a given rule and provide a rule given a pre-image and image, and a composition of transformations 2. Reflect over diagonal, vertical, and horizontal lines 3. Rotate 90, 180, 270 degree about origin 4. Rotate 90 and 180 degrees about a point other than the origin. I gave students approximate 15 minutes in each station and had them move to the next one when the timer went off.

This worksheet can either be a homework assignment, partner activity, or individual activity. Students must select any combination of problems that adds up to at least 10 points.

This station activity allows students to complete problems reviewing the following concepts: ratio and proportion, similarity in right triangles, proving triangles similar, geometric mean, proportions in right triangles, scale drawings, and indirect measurement. I give students about 8 minutes in each station. Students work together to solve each problem and then use their Smart Phone to scan the QR code for the correct answers. QR code reader app should be downloaded ahead of time. Also Inc

This SmartBoard mini lesson includes determining if a relation is a function, function notation, implied vs relevant domain, findng the domain and range of a function, continuity and types of discontinuity, increasing and decreasing functions, boundedness, local extrema, even and odd functions, identifying asymptotes,and using limit notation,

This Smart Board Mini lesson shows students how to find the common difference, extend a pattern, write the rule for an arithmetic sequence, and find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. The lesson incorporates guided practice problems where students can come to the Smart Board to show their work and explain their rationale.

This SmartBoard Mini lesson includes how to measure segments on a number line, the ruler postulate, examples and guided practice problems of the segment addition postulate, examples and guided practice problems given a midpoint or a segment bisector, and an exit card.

This is a station activity in order to review zero and negative exponents, multiplication of exponents, division of exponents, scientific notation, and power of a power. I usually put 5 communicators in each station and give the students approximately 10 minutes to complete the problems in each station.

This Smart Board Mini lesson introduces students to the equation for an exponential function, graphing an exponential function, and solving real world population and investment problems using exponential functions.

Students can work as partners or individually. Students must determine whether the given equations are parallel, perpendicular, the same line, or have no relationship.

This is a Chapter 1 review for most Algebra classes. Station 1 - Variables Expressions Equations Station 2 - Exponents and Order of Operations Station 3 - Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Station 4 - Scatter Plots Station 5 - GCF and LCM with variables

This SmartBoard lesson includes unit rate application problems, steps to solving dimensional analysis problems, guided practice, and solving both basic proportions and those which involve the distributive property.

This activity has students practice rotating about different points in the coordinate plane. You will have to label the vertices of the triangles with whatever letters you choose and select a point of rotation. I like to do points in each quadrant, on the axes, and at least one on the figure itself so the students can see that if the figure is on the point of rotation that that point doesn't move.

Review Sheet on finding slope and writing the equations of lines.

This mini lesson includes the vocabulary of the angle relationships, visual representations of the relationships, guided practice problems in which students have to set up an equation to find x and the missing angle measures, and a figure in which they have to incoporate their knowledge of many angle concepts to find the answer.

This activity includes three tasks in which the students review how to name, classify, and measure angles. Draw a visual representation to illustrate each postulate, and apply the segment and angle addition postulates.

This station activity can be used as an Algebra midterm review lesson, a lesson in which you are teaching students the proper ways to answer open ended type questions, or a jigsaw activity. Students will see a variety of different questions and most will have many solutions to them. You can assign each group a set of problems and have them teach and present their findings to the class.

This Smart Board Mini lesson shows students how to find the common ratio, extend a pattern, write the rule for a geometric sequence, and find the nth term of a geometric sequence. The lesson incorporates guided practice problems where students can come to the Smart Board to show their work and explain their rationale.

This SmartBoard mini lesson includes guided and independent practice problems when finding the midpoint on a line segment, the midpoint in the coordinate plane, Finding an endpoint when given a midpoint and another endpoint, distance on a coordinate plane, and distance given a ratio.

This is a group project. I left the conditional statement blank so the teacher can create a different statement for each group. You can tier this project by making some conditional statements more difficult than others. The students have to determine the truth value of each statement and if false, provide a counterexample. Once completed, each group can present to the class.
