Once all 13 problems have been answered correctly, each team will end back where they started. There are ma

This file contains an editable Powerpoint Wheel of fortune style game, complete with a working scoreboard, a spinning wheel, and 8 rounds of play. I have also added sounds when correct (applause), and incorrect (expolsions) letter choices are made. My students love to play games, and keep asking for more of them! If it gets them involved and interested, I am in. Puzzles on this game cover: Geometry (3 rounds with different subtopics), Pattern Rules, Proportions, Rates, Coordinate Plane,

This file contains all you need for a fun filled class period surface area and volume of geometric figures including prisms, cubes, cylinders, cones, pyramids, and spheres. It is a multiple step hands on activity in which students will determine the appropriate formulas provided a given shape either from memory or a formula chart. Then, they will calculate the surface area or volume. Once they have done the calculations, they will cut out the 12 shapes with the completed formulas and glue t

This file contains all you need for a fun filled class period of dilations and dimension changes. It is hands on activity in which students will calculate scale factor, volume, and impact of dilations on 2 and 3 dimensional figures. Once they have done the calculations, they will cut out the 12 shapes and glue them to the correct solution on the template. This can be done alone and taken as a grade, or used as a partner activity. Either way, it will serve as a great review for shape identi

This file contains all you need for a fun filled class period reviewing volume of geometric figures including prisms, cubes, and pyramids. It is a multiple step hands on activity in which students will determine the appropriate steps to determine surface area provided a given shape either from memory or a formula chart.

This file contains easy to follow class notes, as well as coordinating worksheets and answer keys for translations, reflections, dilations, and rotations as well as a stations review activity to use after the unit has been taught. The notes and the worksheet start with concrete examples displayed on graphs. Then, they progress to more abstract problems without graphs. STAAR, Core Standards, transformations, geometry, dilation, translation, reflection, rotation I have also posted coordinating

This file is a BUNDLE of TWO of my posts (sold at a discount if purchased from this post). It contains both styles of the Geometry Notebook as well as the 12 worksheet and keys for the Geometry unit (approx 3 weeks). Each worksheet has a few basic cumputational problems, and concludes with one or two VERY rigorous multi-step application problems, Each application problem has at least one measurement conversion, and usually involves money as well. I created these this year, and by the end of the

This file includes a BUNDLE of TWO listings (one version uses QR codes and requires a QR code reader and a wireless device; the other does not.) I am bundling the two as you NEVER know when the wireless access in your class might go down. By purchasing the bundle you will save 20% off of each set if they were purchased seperately.
