There are two pages of guided notes with included examples. Two answer keys are included (one without examples fi

As math teachers, we frequently get the question "when will I use this?". With this project, students are able to explore one very practical, real-life application of using area, surface area, and volume calculations. In this four phased project, students will start by researching and designing their own raised garden beds. The four different phases of the project ask students to explore types and cost of wood for building the garden beds, material pricing and volumes for both a sub-irrigation s

Key vocabulary and reminders are included in the page of notes. The worksheet included has one page of 10 area calculation questions (Pythagorean theore

The combinations and permutations guided notes and worksheet walk students through the key parts of Combinatorics (counting) in Geometry. The notes start with the Fundamental Counting Principal (which likely was talked about during probability) and introduces the concepts of factorials, permutations, and combinations. Practice examples are built into the notes over combinations and permutations. The third page is a worksheet over combinations and permutations. Two answer keys are provided: one w

The parallel lines and transversals worksheet includes practice problems over the angle pairs formed by two or more parallel lines cut by a transversal. Angle types include vertical angles, linear pair, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, consecutive (same-side) interior angles, and corresponding angles. I have my students complete this worksheet in partners as there are some good mathematical discussions that occur as a result, but this can also be used as individual work. Eac

This guided notes set discusses the probability of mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events and complements. These notes were made for a high school geometry level course, but could be used to in statistics or an honors middle school level course. The scaffolded notes provide an extra opportunity to keep students engaged. Key vocabulary and multiple examples are included in the two pages of notes. There is also a 2 page (8 question) worksheet over probabilities of mutually exclusive

The classifying triangles guided notes set introduce 6 main classifications of triangles by sides and angles as well as some properties of equilateral and isosceles triangles. Vocabulary includes: acute triangle, obtuse triangle, right triangle, equilateral triangle, equiangular triangle, isosceles triangles, and scalene triangles. The notes also discuss the base angles of isosceles triangles and the triangle angle sum theorem. This notes are a great introduction to a high school Geometry cong

The Probability of Independent and Dependent Events worksheet asks questions about whether two events are independent versus dependent and has students calculate probabilities of both independent and dependent events. This worksheet was made for a high school geometry level course but could also be used for introducing probability in statistics or an honors middle school level course. This one-page worksheet would work well as a formative assessment after notes or as a homework page. The workshe

The Points of Concurrency in Triangles guided notes and practice introduce the concepts of orthocenter, circumcenter, incenter, and centroid in triangles. The notes include an example after each triangle relationship to help students gain practice with solving for missing values using the circumcenter, incenter, or centroid of a triangle. The scaffolded notes provide an extra opportunity to keep students engaged and provide them with valuable foundations for the concepts we will discuss in Geome

The congruent triangles tiered activity provides four levels of practice over congruent triangles and congruence statements. Tier 1 starts with triangle congruence statements based off of diagrams. Level 2 introduces corresponding parts based on congruence statements or diagrams. Level 3 reviews properties that are used to determine whether the two triangles are congruent. Level 4 includes practice problems that involve solving for missing values within two congruent triangles using the congruen

The three-dimensional figures guided notes and practice set provides an overview of the types of three-dimensional figures as well as the formulas we will use to calculate surface area and volume of each of these 3D solids. Made to be used as doodle notes (if desired), the scaffolded notes provide an extra opportunity to keep students engaged and provide them with valuable review for the concepts we will discuss in Geometry (students typically have some knowledge of surface area and volume from
