Mayer's Math

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt on similarity in right triangles. Problems require students to use the geometric mean to set up proportions to solve for missing parts. Scavenger hunts are a great way to get students actively engaged. I find that my students work better when they are up and moving around the room. I created this activity for my Geometry class as a fun way to practice the material we had learned. I also like this activity because it is self-checking. If a student gets an ans

This is a 6 question partner worksheet on The Pythagorean Theorem. Students both work problem #1. Although each student has a different problem, their answer should be the same when rounding to the nearest tenth. Students compare answers. If they both got the same answer, they move to the next problem. If they got different answers, they must trade papers and work each other's problem to figure out who made the mistake and correct it. This is a great activity to get students working togeth

This is a connect the dots activity for Geometry involving perpendicular lines, right angels, complementary/supplementary angles, congruent angles/segments, vertical angles, angle addition, and segment addition. In this activity, student must solve problems to determine which dots to connect. Once they have solved the entire worksheet, the picture should look like a tiger head. This is a great way to have students check their work. If they get a wrong answer, they should know it immediately
