This geometric quest asks students to focus their attention on quadrilaterals and connect their learning to the real world by finding real life examples of quadrilaterals. I have used this quest in the classroom, but it can easily be adapted for use as homework. It is a differentiated product that includes two versions of the quest, a basic (*) and more advanced (**) version. Also included are fill-in-the-blank notes (with an answer key) about five different types of quadrilaterals (rhombus, rec

I have used this scavenger hunt as homework. In the younger grades, it relates in class learning about basic polygons to the real world outside of the classroom. In older grades, it can serve as a review of two-dimensional geometry. Either way, it is a fun activity that my students have always enjoyed!

Make good use of after-school screen time with this homework activity designed to help students practice basic elapsed time. When I gave this assignment to my students, they were thrilled to be able to watch TV for homework and eagerly completed the assignment. By "clocking commercials" as they watch their favorite show, students are telling time as well as calculating the elapsed time of each commercial break.
