This review sheet works well at the end of a transformations unit. It includes pictures of different Transformers, which have had one of the four different transformations (reflections, rotations, translations, and dilations) performed on them. Students need to name which transformation was performed on each Transformer, and describe what happened to the Transformer under that transformation. Students like it because the picture is so silly, because they know Transformers from the movie comin

A graphic organizer students can use on their first day learning geometry vocabulary. My students loved having all the information right in front of them in an organized fashion, and had no trouble referencing it later on. The vocabulary is organized into sections (undefined terms, symbols, etc), making it even easier to use.

This is a hands-on activity for students studying geometry. The sheet has 2 triangles on it and a place to record the measures of the interior angles of each one. Students practice working with a protractor, measuring accurately, comparing results with their group, and discussing human error. Eventually, they should see that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180. Students should be pushed to see why this must be true, instead of taking it for granted, and coming up with
