This is a series of instructions to quickly get Geometry students through the proofs unit of the course. This set is intended for slower learners but all students would benefit from this series of lessons and assignments. There is emphasis on commonly used postulates, definitions and properties. The proofs are between 3 and 8 steps long and build on basic algebraic principles. Students are gradually introduced to proofs by first using properties in If-Then form, then seeing proofs with missi

This collection of assignments is a very straightforward, quick way to teach geometry students about circles. If you have very little time left before an End of Course Test and have not covered circles this would be helpful. There is a daily assignment for each of the first four days, a warm-up review for days two through five and a test for day five. Answers are included. Topics included: Diameter, radius, secant and tangent lines to circles, chord, minor arcs, major arcs, semicircles, meas

This collection is excellent for a slow learning class or if you must teach this material in a very short amount of time due to the amount of time you have left to teach before exam testing. It includes notes for student, teacher notes for use on a document camera or overhead projector, warm-up, and daily assignment each day for students. This is two days worth of assignments. The answer key for teacher notes and student assignments is included at the end. Topics covered: Identify opposite a

This is a 17 question study guide (some with a, b, c and d parts) and 27 question test for the first unit in a geometry course. I provide a copy of the study guide for each student and allow them time in class (about 30 minutes ) to work on it. I Topics included: Naming points, segments,lines, angles using symbols. Segment Addition and Angle Addition Postulates Applying the defintion of a midpoint, angle bisector. Identifying linear pairs and vertical angles. Using knowledge of linear pairs an

This is a collection of Warm-Ups, Worksheets, Activities and a Test for the parallel lines unit in a geometry class. These were created to be used in a slow learning class. There are NO proofs in this collection. Explanations of teaching exercises is included. Answer keys are included also. This is 7 days worth of material with 90 minute block classes. Topics: Identify parallel, perpendicular and skew lines in a cube. Identify Corresponding Angles, Alternate Interior, Alternate Exterior and

I created this series of assignments while teaching Math 3 Support in Georgia. This course was designed to review Math 1 and Math 2 topics that would be tested on the GHSGT. I generated graphs of parabolas, cubic functions, square root functions, absolute value functions, and asked questions about each graph. While learning about these graphs students are expected to graph the functions but since I was preparing them for a standardized test I only asked them questions from graphs. The questio

In my experience calculus textbooks do not have enough practice for volumes of solids with know cross sections to adequately prepare students for the AP Calculus AB exam. This handout is a collection of problems dealing with this topic.
