I like to call this activity Putt-Putt-Geometry. It is 9 glorious holes of trigonometry application! This works great as a Trig unit project, end of year project, or test review (maybe 1 or 2 holes for review). The students can work in groups, pairs, or individuals. If your students are not proficient with Trig, or you have not covered it yet, each hole can be done using the Pythagorean Theorem instead - simply tweak the directions a bit. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine do!

This quiz-quiz-trade activity gets the students up, and moving around the classroom while practicing criteria for congruent triangles. It can be used as practice for new material, or as a quick review before a test. Be sure to print double-sided so that the answers are on the back of the cards. Each student should have their own card, and they should be mixing around the classroom looking for another person who needs a quick partner. They meet, greet, quiz each other on the card they are ho

The new Florida Core standards do not include trapezoids or kites in the quadrilaterals section. This jeopardy is therefore a good review for parallelograms. If you teach in a state that does not have the Common Core standards, then my Quadrilaterals Jeopardy is a better fit for you; it covers the trapezoid and kite. All of my "actions" in this flipchart work well, and allow the user to never need the pen tool. Enjoy! (and let others know about my store, please)

This is a quiz-quiz-trade activity for parallelograms. The students should use the information on the card to identify which type of parallelogram can be proven. No other assumptions are allowed to be made - only use the given info. Simply print, cut out, and fold over to have a class set of cards. For those that are not familiar with the quiz-quiz-trade structure, give each student a card. Have them mix around the room looking for quick partners. They pair up, great each other, quiz each

This is a jeopardy review for the entire quadrilaterals section of Geometry. It covers all of the properties using algebra for the 6 quadrilaterals. It has good, working, actions for easy and ambidextrous use at the active board. I hope you enjoy!

These exercises are compositions of rigid motions. All transformations are presented in function notation per common core standards. There are 3 pairs of commuted compositions. The students will be able to see that compositions of transformations are not commutative - order matters. The reflections are all presented in slope-intercept form.

This is an ActivInspire flip chart focused on transformations. All of the transformations are presented in function notation, as per common core standards. There are mechanical questions (produce an ordered pair after a transformation), and there are "theory" questions (A figure is rotated. Point B and Point B' have the same coordinates. What do you know about Point B?). As with regular jeopardy, the questions increase in difficulty as the point values increase. All of the "actions" on the

This activity guides students to discover the angle pair properties when a transversal crosses a pair of parallel lines through the use of rigid motions as per common core standards. The activity requires the students to already be familiar with the terms corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and same-side interior angles. It also requires the students to know how to perform basic rigid motions (transformations).

This activity will give the students the ability to understand where the unit circle comes from. With this knowledge, they will not need to memorize the coordinates around the unit circle; they can just draw an appropriate triangle and evaluate their trig.

This is a group activity in which the students will practice how to rotate points and figures in the coordinate plane. They will rotate about the origin, as well as other centers of rotation. The activity uses function notation for rotations as outlined by the common core standards for Geometry.

This is an individual exercise that helps the students practice translating a figure, as well as combining translations. It includes the student version and the answer key. The translations are described using function notation as outlined by the common core standards for Geometry.
