Each problem in the booklet includes step-by-step prompts with examples and a number bank to ensure success and confidence. Use this resource to introduce the topic or to provide structured support to struggling students. This resource includes: •Student document •Answer key Print pages 3 - 6 front to back and hamburger fold to make a booklet for

Use this notes page to introduce the equation of circle. Students will identify the center and radius from standard form, graph circles, and write standard equation of circles given center and radius. This resource includes: •Student notes •Answer sheet

This activity will help students see patterns in the standard form equation of a circle. Students will look at an equation and its graph to determine the center and radius of the circle. The students will use inductive reasoning to conclude what h, k, and r represent in the standard form of a circle. (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^ 2 = r^ 2 This resource includes: •Student worksheet •12 graphs of circles with the equation •Answer key Use this as a quick introduction and then follow up with: Circles on the

Many students learn the process for simplifying square roots without learning the why. This lesson is to help students connect area of a square to perfect squares and simplifying square roots. •Lesson Plan with guiding questions •2 page student worksheet •Answer key for student worksheet •Figures A – L for student work

Get students thinking, talking, and writing mathematics with a sage and scribe activity. This resource includes 3 sage and scribe activities: •Page 3 – 6: Finding side lengths using trig ratios and answers •Page 7 – 10: Finding angle measures using inverse trig ratios and answers •Pages 11 – 14: Mixture of finding sides and angles using trig ratios and answers How to do a Sage and Scribe Activity: This is a partner activity. The sage will tell how to complete the problem. The scribe will record

The secret to success with right triangle trigonometry is knowing the vocabulary. Set your students up for success with this product. This resource includes: •2 pages of student notes with answer key •Kinesthetic approach to teaching this vocabulary lesson •Color coded poster •2 pages of practice with answer key Note: This practice can be used for later lessons as well as students learn how to solve for missing sides or angles using trig ratios. •4 pages of targeted practice/reteaching (ide

Want your students to understand why sin, cos, and tan of an angle are always the same value? Have them complete this investigation. Print a worksheet for each student. Print and cut out the triangle cards. Distribute one card to each student and have the complete the first row of their worksheet. Students should swap cards to complete rows 2 – 4. This resource includes: •Student worksheet •28 triangle cards Prior to use: Students need to know definitions of theta, sin, cos, tan, opposite, ad

Have little time to spare in class? Use this resource to let students review basic vocabulary and facts about circles on their own. This resource includes: Pages 3 – 4: Student handout Pages 5 – 6: Answer key Pages 7 – 23: Power point slides that can be shared with students so they can begin reviewing information and formulating their own definitions/facts. Print them out, project them, or post them on a platform.

This resource includes several activities that focus on “common mistakes” that students make with equations of circles. Each activity is described below: Activity G: Writing equation given the center and a point on the circle Activity H: writing equation given the center and a point on the circle Activity I: writing equations given the endpoints of horizontal or vertical diameter Activity J: writing equations given the endpoints of a diagonal diameter Use this as targeted practice, as a stat

This resource includes several activities that focus on “common mistakes” that students make with equations of circles. Each activity is described below: Activity D: radius – all circles are centered at (-1, -1) and have various radii Activity E: radius – all circles are centered at (5, -2 ) and have various radii Activity F: radius – all circles are centered at (-3, 1) and have various radii Use this as targeted practice, as a station activity, or for intervention/extension.

Need to maintain solving equations in Geometry class? Need to provide extra practice for struggling students? Use this document to provide solving strategies (in the form of hints), guided problems, mathematical reasoning (students providing steps to guided problems), practice, and answers provided for self checking. This resource includes: •Two page student worksheet with answers

Here are notes that will work in notebook or interactive notebook. These notes include alternate interior angles, corresponding angles, and vertical angles. Students can then use their knowledge of these 3 angle types to prove many other angle relationships (ex: alternate interior angles) and Geometric properties (triangle sum theorem). This resource includes: 2 pages of notes (alternate interior angles, corresponding angles, and vertical angles)Answer keyDon’t forget to have the students color

My students often confuse reflection and rotation rules. “Which one changes order? Which one changes sign? Which sign do I change?” This activity was developed to allow students to make sense of the rules. Students will identify changes in pattern between two sets of points and use this information to write a coordinate rule. They will then graph a pre-image and image and use the graph to determine the type of transformation being performed. Class discussion and summary notes help the students c

This resource allows students to practice writing coordinate rules of transformations. Each problem has students write the coordinates of the pre-image and image points, correct coordinate rule, and identify the type of transformation being performed. The last page has students performing error analysis with coordinate rules and providing evidence to support their reasoning. All transformations (translation, reflection, rotation, and dilation) are represented in this resource. This resource inc

Teaching transformations in Geometry? This resource will help your students investigate reflecting over the x-axis, y-axis, x- and y-axis, and over a line (x = -1). Students will graphically complete the reflections and then look for patterns with the results points (connecting to coordinate rules). This resource includes 4 student pages (reflecting over the x-axis, reflecting over the y-axis, reflecting over the x- and y-axis, and reflecting over a line (x = -1). Answer sheet is provided.

I don’t know about you, but my students struggle to simplify the quadratic formula. They do a very nice job of putting the equation into standard form, identifying “a”, “b”, and “c”, and plugging those values into the quadratic formula. Then they start simplifying and everything falls apart. The multi-step nature of simplifying these expressions along with a lack of real understanding of the order of operations makes it rather impossible for them to arrive at a correctly simplified exact answ
